Why use an oil cleanser in your skincare routine?
Oil cleansing is an effective first step in a well-structured skincare routine, particularly if you wear makeup, SPF, or heavier skincare products. An oil cleanser works by dissolving oil-based impurities on the skin, such as sunscreen, makeup, excess sebum, and environmental residue, allowing them to be removed gently without stripping the skin.
Contrary to common myths, oil cleansers are suitable for all skin types, including oily and blemish-prone skin. Using an oil-based cleanser does not add oil to the skin; instead, it helps break down surface buildup so it can be rinsed away more effectively.
What is double cleansing?
Double cleansing involves using two cleansers in sequence:
- First cleanse (oil cleanser) – removes makeup, SPF, excess oil, and surface debris
- Second cleanse (water-based cleanser) – cleanses the skin itself
This method helps ensure the skin is thoroughly cleansed without over-cleansing. When the skin is properly cleansed, follow-on products such as toners, serums, and moisturisers can be applied more evenly and comfortably.
Who should use an oil cleanser?
An oil cleanser can be beneficial if you:
- Wear sunscreen or makeup daily
- Have oily or combination skin
- Experience surface congestion or dullness
- Use exfoliating acids and want a gentle cleanse
- Want to avoid harsh or drying cleansers
Oil cleansing can be used once daily in the evening or as needed, depending on your routine.
How to use an oil cleanser
- Apply to dry skin with dry hands
- Massage gently over the face to loosen makeup and impurities
- Add a small amount of water to emulsify
- Rinse thoroughly before following with a second cleanser
Supporting your routine
Using an oil cleanser as part of a double-cleansing routine helps maintain skin comfort while ensuring effective removal of daily buildup. This approach supports skin that looks clean, refreshed, and balanced, without feeling tight or over-stripped.
