How to double cleanse your skin?

Double cleansing involves using two different cleansers, and it's done once a day in the evening. Take a balm based cleanser or olive oil and apply it all over your face, massage it gently until the makeup starts to melt. Then use a damp & soft cotton flannel cloth to wipe away the makeup.

For the second routine, use a gel-based cleanser or milk to gently rinse away the toxins & dirt to leave the skin feeling clean and smooth. Massage it in for a minute, then wash it off with lukewarm water to get clean & fresh skin.
