Dubbelrengöring

Dubbelrengöring, often referred to as double cleansing, is a skincare technique that involves washing the face twice as part of a single cleansing routine. The primary goal is to ensure a thorough removal of impurities, makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum from the skin.

The process typically begins with an oil-based cleanser. This first step is designed to dissolve oil-soluble substances like makeup, sunscreen, and sebum. The oil cleanser is massaged into dry skin and then emulsified with water before being rinsed off. Following the oil cleanse, a water-based cleanser is used. This second step aims to remove any remaining residue from the oil cleanser and any water-soluble impurities, such as sweat and dirt. The water-based cleanser is lathered with water and then rinsed thoroughly.

This method is particularly popular among individuals who wear heavy makeup or sunscreen regularly, as it ensures complete removal. It is also beneficial for those with oily or acne-prone skin, as it helps to prevent clogged pores. While often associated with K-beauty (Korean beauty) routines, double cleansing has gained widespread popularity globally. The choice of specific cleansers within the double cleansing routine can be tailored to individual skin types and concerns, ranging from gentle formulations for sensitive skin to more potent ones for tackling congestion.
