What is double cleansing?

You may have heard of the latest in skincare: Double Cleansing!

The idea is to eliminate any extrinsic factors before cleansing your skin, allowing the second cleansing to penetrate deeper into the pores and cleanse the skin surface thoroughly. It should not be thought that it is only make-up that remains on the surface of the epidermis because there are also SPFs, pollutants, skincare products that would not have penetrated well. It is important to understand that if your skin is not properly cleaned, your serums and treatment creams will never do their job properly, so your investment is never maximized.

 

B-BOX’s professionals recommend the use of an oily product for the first cleansing. This will allow you to remove all makeup or any other substance that may have remained on the surface of the skin. I hear oily skin calling itself an oil , what is important to understand is that there are oils that allow the cell membrane to remain intact and are non-comedogenic. The fatal error of oily skin is often the overuse of drying products.

 

Sweet almond, avocado and jojoba oils, which mimic the skin’s natural sebum, are good choices to watch out for. B-BOX’s formulation creators recommend SWIPE Biphasic Cleanser, which contains organic jojoba oil rich in omega-9. This oil penetrates easily into the epidermis, it regulates, emulsifies the sebum, and intervenes in the cellular regeneration. It brings softness and protection to your skin without leaving an oily veil on the epidermis. Gently massage the skin, taking the time to breathe in the plum scent and give yourself a little time for yourself, even if only for a minute!  Rinse the product with warm water and remove all traces of your day from your skin and your mind.

 

The second cleanser can be switched from an oil-based to a water-based formula, depending on your skin type. If you have dry skin and are looking for a more moisturizing and nourishing cleanser, it is best to choose a product that contains at least one non-comedogenic oil. It may be the same cleanser you used for the first cleansing if that is what is right for your skin! However, if you have oily skin, you may prefer to switch to a cleanser that does not add as much oil but will work with other nourishing ingredients. Here is what the B-BOX pros suggest:

– Dry skin (oil-deficient skin): SWIPE Cleanser (same product as the first cleansing)

– Dehydrated skin (skin in need of water): 360 Cleanser

– Combination to oily skin: Gluco-Foam Foaming Cleanser

– Sensitive skin: Cleaner 360 or Gluco-Foam and add 1 drop of SWIPE to the foam.
