Darlings, to get a fresh-feeling complexion, cleanse and cleanse again! Double cleansing has been popular with skincare gurus in recent years, but what is the secret to the perfect double cleanse?
Discover how to perform a deep, double cleanse that removes any trace of makeup and washes away impurities, then learn how to use my skincare innovations - Take It All Off and Charlotte’s Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser - to double cleanse for spa-like results.
CLEANSE 1: OIL-BASED CLEANSE
The first cleanse in your double cleansing ritual should be with an oil-based formula like Take It All Off. Makeup and sunscreen are lipophilic and so break down when in contact with oil. Using an oil-based cleanser is the best way to melt away your makeup look at the end of the day as it helps to dissolve as well as displace even waterproof makeup formulas.
I created Take It All Off as a hydrating, high-performance makeup remover that effectively removes makeup from your face, lids, lashes, lips and complexion. It’s an oil-based formula that works perfectly as the initial cleanse in your double cleansing ritual. The formula dissolves stubborn, hard-to-remove makeup while providing a conditioning and calming effect thanks to its soothing chamomile infusion.
How To Apply Take It All Off
Use my SHAKE, SOAK, SWIPE technique to remove makeup with Take It All Off. Shake the bottle and saturate a soft cotton pad with makeup remover, then gently press onto your complexion, eyelids, lips, and lashes for 10 seconds and swipe away makeup.
CLEANSE 2: SECOND CLEANSE
After your first cleanse, rinse your face with lukewarm water to wash away lifted makeup and excess product. Then, choose a gentle, high-performance cleanser like Charlotte’s Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser for your second cleanse. This second cleanse is your second chance to unclog pores and freshen the look of your complexion, gently washing away impurities and giving your bare face a rejuvenated, radiant-looking glow.
Charlotte’s Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser is a power-of-three foaming cleanser that fits perfectly into your immediate skin revival skincare routine. It’s a flexible formula that transforms in texture from cream to foam to milk, giving skin a refreshing cleanse that helps to boost hydration and radiance. Powered by hydrating hyaluronic acid; smoothing-effect peptides; and biomimetic barrier shield technology, this cleanser is my secret to the best cleanse of your life!
How To Apply Charlotte’s Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser
Lather up Charlotte’s Magic Hydration Revival Cleanser in the palm of your hand and let the cream emulsify with water; as it begins to foam, lightly massage it into your face using angel wing motions to hydrate, cleanse, and prime your complexion. Once your application is complete, rinse off your cleanser to reveal a cleansed complexion with my signature magic skin glow.
