Ready to level up your glow? Let’s talk about one of the most buzzed-about beauty secrets: the double cleansing skincare routine! If you’ve ever wondered why your skin still feels a little “meh” after washing your face, this two-step method might just be your new best friend. At Cotton Sky Lab, we’re all about making skincare fun, effective, and easy to follow—so let’s break it down!

What is Double Cleansing?
Double cleansing is exactly what it sounds like: washing your face twice, but with two different types of cleansers. The first step uses an oil-based cleanser, and the second step follows with a water-based cleanser. This dynamic duo ensures your skin is squeaky clean, but never stripped or dry.

Step 1: Oil Cleanser – Melt Away the Day
Think of your oil cleanser as a gentle makeup eraser and grime-buster. Oil attracts oil, so it’s perfect for dissolving stubborn makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum. Even if you have oily skin, don’t skip this step—oil cleansers are surprisingly lightweight and won’t clog your pores.
**How to use:**
Pump a small amount into your dry hands and massage it onto your dry face. Watch as your mascara, foundation, and even SPF melt away! Rinse with lukewarm water or gently wipe off with a soft cloth.
**Why it’s awesome:**
- Removes waterproof makeup and sunscreen with ease
- Leaves skin soft, not greasy
- Preps your skin for a deeper clean

Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser – The Fresh Finish
Now that the oil cleanser has done the heavy lifting, it’s time for your water-based cleanser to shine. This step sweeps away any leftover impurities, sweat, and dirt, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and ready for the rest of your routine.
**How to use:**
Apply your favorite gel, foam, or cream cleanser to damp skin. Massage in gentle circles, then rinse thoroughly. Pat your face dry with a clean towel.
**Why it’s awesome:**
- Removes any residue left behind
- Helps prevent breakouts and dullness
- Leaves your skin feeling truly clean and balanced

Why Double Cleanse?
- **Better Absorption:** Clean skin means your serums and moisturizers can work their magic more effectively.
- **Fewer Breakouts:** By thoroughly removing makeup and sunscreen, you’re less likely to experience clogged pores.
- **Glowing Results:** Consistent double cleansing can lead to brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.
