The skincare world is full of trends, but some rituals stand the test of time and double cleansing is one of them. As more people recognise that glowing skin starts with proper cleansing, this two-step method has become a non-negotiable in routines worldwide. Double cleansing is the foundation of clear, radiant and healthy skin.
A single cleanse often removes only surface impurities, leaving behind residue that can clog pores, dull the complexion or lead to breakouts. Double cleansing tackles this buildup more effectively, working in two targeted phases:
First, an oil-based cleanser melts away SPF, long-wear makeup and excess sebum, those stubborn, oil-based impurities that cling to the skin. Then, a water-based cleanser removes what’s left: sweat, bacteria, pollutants and dead skin cells. Together, they leave the skin thoroughly clean, balanced and more receptive to the products that follow, resulting in fewer breakouts and a smoother, brighter complexion.
For an elevated first cleanse, Sensai’s Silky Purifying Cleansing Oil exemplifies Japanese skincare expertise. Enriched with three botanical oils, it effortlessly dissolves makeup, sunscreen and sebum while maintaining optimal moisture levels. It leaves the skin soft, calm and perfectly prepped for step two.
To complete the ritual, Sensai’s Step 2 water-based cleansers bring a refined, sensory experience to deep cleansing. Infused with botanical extracts, these silky formulas create a rich, cushiony foam designed to suit a range of skin types. They remove lingering impurities with ease while enhancing the skin’s ability to absorb serums and moisturisers. The result is a purified, balanced complexion that reflects the clarity and radiance of traditional Japanese skincare.
