Can all skin types benefit from a double cleanse?
All skin types can benefit from double cleansing but, if you're acne-prone, Dr Rattan recommends steering well clear of oil-based cleansers. “Use a salicylic acid face wash instead, and cleanse with it twice to remove any remaining bacteria,” says Dr Rattan.
“Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid,” she adds, "so your skin cells will thank you for exfoliating, as it keeps pores clear and dissolves the blockages of dead skin, oil and other debris that cause acne. It also works to reduce the amount of oil being produced by your oil glands, making it less likely that new acne-causing blockages will grow.”Whatever you do, resist the temptation to skip double cleansing after a long day or a night out.
It's also the only way to properly lift away foundation, which can cause congestion and, more importantly pollution particles, if you're a city dweller. “Pollution particles can seep into pores – once there, they are hard to get out and they trigger a cascade of free radicals, which can damage the skin barrier, destroy collagen, lead to inflammation and cause rashes,” says Dr Rattan.
