If you’ve ever ended your day with just one face wash and wondered why your skin still feels clogged or dull, we have news for you: double cleansing might be the game-changer your routine needs. This skincare regimen, which dates back to the 14th bc entails using a washing oil first, then a face cleanser. The white paint-like base that women historically wore could only be removed with cleansing oils in Korea and Japan. To get rid of any remaining oil, a foamy cleanser was used after this.
At JJ’s Skincare, we believe in clean, healthy skin — and that starts with the right foundation. Let’s break down what double cleansing is, why it works, and how you can easily fit it into your skincare ritual.
What Is Double Cleansing?
The double cleansing approach involves using two distinct cleansers, often one water-based and one oil-based product, each with a distinct cleansing objective.
Step 1 : Oil-Based Cleanser
This step breaks down makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and pollutants that build up throughout the day. Oil attracts oil, so it effectively dissolves impurities without stripping your skin. Using JJ’s cleansing oil, you can eliminate excess dirt from your face. This cleansing oil is essential for achieving a thoroughly clean complexion in your skincare routine.
Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser
This second step removes sweat, dirt, and any leftover residue from the oil cleanser, giving your skin a deep, refreshing clean.
Why Should You Double Cleanse?

- Removes all traces of dirt & makeup — even long-wear formulas
-
- Prepares skin for serums and moisturizers
-
- Helps unclog pores and prevent breakouts
-
- Leaves skin feeling soft, not stripped
-
- Improves overall skin texture and glow
