Double cleansing is the revitalized skin care step taking regimens by storm. It makes for cleaner skin, which means skin is free to better absorb the active ingredients we want it to. When the active ingredients we love are able to work as intended, client skin stays hydrated for longer. Double cleansing also helps clean dead skin cells and pollutants more effectively, for skin that’s noticeably smoother to the touch. Double cleansing at night allows clients to make the most of this technique, since most peoples’ nighttime skin care routines are a bit more robust than their day time ones. Double cleansing at night allows for clients to remove all product (even water-proof formulas!) and impurities from the day for cleaner, uninhibited skin to receive the bulk of their active steps in their total skin regimen.
Double cleansing with oil-based cleansers is a twist on the traditional oil cleansing method, or OCM. Since oils are attracted to oils, cleansing with oil-based cleansers are super effective for washing away excess sebum, which contributes to acne. While the oil binds with dirt and sebum during lather, it emulsifies when rinsing, cleaning all skin types without stripping them of their natural oils. “Oil dissolves oil” is a principle so good, Bruno Vassari said “do it twice.”
Bruno Vassari launched its Oil to Milk Cleanser from The Basics line using a formula meant to remove makeup, and it makes a wonderful addition to any double cleansing method. It’s gentle without drying and emulsifies into a luxurious milky finish upon rinsing.
Here are some things to keep in mind when oil cleansing:
- Dry application: This is crucial for allowing the cleanser to fully interact and bind with any impurities, which needs to happen before the emulsification that happens upon introducing water.
- Emulsification: This happens when you add water. Bruno Vassari’s rich formula rinses in a light, milky wash that provides long-lasting hydration to skin.
- Finish rinsing: Wash the remainder of the emulsion from the skin to ensure the proper removal of impurities and to ready skin for subsequent products. In ensuring all product is soundly washed away, you can prevent imbalances to the skin’s pH and potential irritation.
- Double cleanse: Repeat the cleansing step with another one of your favorite cleansers for a more thorough clean.
Bruno Vasari prides itself in creating products that are safe, effective, sustainable and show results from the very first application. These products tailor their protocols to its carefully-crafted products for performance that furthers the 40-and-on years of good skinship it’s known for. Bruno Vassari has a wide range of face and body products available in stores, and a specialized line professionals can bring to their spas.
