Advice and trends on cleansing the skin has evolved in the past ten years.

We’ve evolved from using bars of soaps that stripped our skins PH leaving a dry pasty white residue on the skin. To more advanced cleansers that contain hyaluronic acid to help keep our skin moist after cleansing.

It is what it sounds like, cleansing your skin twice (or three times). However, it’s not down to something as simple as cleansing twice with the same type of cleanser, two or more must be involved.

Its about the goal in the treatment of your skin (that includes the cleansing component factor).

Have you double cleansed lately?
