Today’s Question: Is a 2-step cleansing method important?
Dannie | Brand Owner and Formulator
As a daily user, I used to think double cleansing was an unnecessary extra step until I tried it! Starting with an oil cleanser or rich balm makes lifting makeup and stubborn mineral sunscreen completely effortless. Following that with a gentle, plant-based face wash gives me a fresh, clean slate without leaving my skin feeling tight or stripped. For me, it’s a simple evening ritual that keeps my skin soft and perfectly prepped.

Yes, I believe that it is. Think of it like this: the first cleanse washes away the day. Any make up you applied or dirt you encountered is gone and leaves a fresh canvas for the second cleanse to begin the process of addressing your unique skin concerns. Your second cleanse can contain moisturizers if you feel like your skin is dry, salicylic acid for blemishes, etc.
