What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing involves cleansing the skin in two stages, each targeting different impurities:
-
Step 1: Cleanse with an oil-based product to dissolve make-up, excess sebum, sunscreen and pollution particles.
-
Step 2: Cleanse with a water-based product to remove sweat and remaining residue and refine skin texture.
The result: perfectly clean skin that is more receptive to skincare and visibly more luminous.
The perfect duo by Innerskin
Gentle Cleansing Balm: The sensorial first step
Its melting texture transforms into a light oil to capture all oil-based impurities. Ultra-gentle, it respects the skin's hydrolipidic film while providing a cocooning cleansing experience.
- Removes make-up thoroughly (even waterproof)
- Nourishes without leaving a greasy film
- Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin
Glycolic Acid Cleansing Gel: The perfecting step
Enriched with glycolic acid, this gel refines skin texture, unclogs pores and boosts the radiance of the complexion. It completes the cleanse without aggressing the skin.
- Gently exfoliates
- Reduces the appearance of pores and blemishes
- Illuminates the complexion
Why add double cleansing to your routine?
- To prevent blemishes and blackheads
- To improve the penetration of your skincare (serums, creams)
- To reveal smoother, fresher, healthier skin
It is a small step with a big impact on the quality of your skin. Once you have adopted it, you will never go back.
How to incorporate it easily
In the evening, give yourself 2 to 3 minutes:
- Apply a hazelnut-sized amount of Gentle Cleansing Balm to dry skin, massage, then rinse with lukewarm water.
- Follow with a pump of Glycolic Acid Cleansing Gel, massage lightly onto damp skin, then rinse.
And there you have it: clean, soft, radiant skin, ready for your skincare. To take skin purification further, this ritual can occasionally be complemented by a Hydrafacial deep cleanse, a professional treatment that unclogs pores, hydrates intensely and revives the radiance of the complexion.
