What is Double Cleanse

Do you think your one-step cleanse is cutting it?

Think again.

Makeup, SPF, pollution, sweat—your skin deals with a lot during the day.

One quick wash won’t do the job.

That’s where the double cleanse comes in.

It’s the secret to clean, clear, glowing skin.

And the reason your skincare might not be working like it should.

What is double cleansing?

We are often asked what is double cleanse?

It involves washing your face twice, but with two different cleansers:

Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser – Removes makeup, SPF, and sebum.

Step 2: Soap-Based Cleanser – Removes leftover impurities and deeply cleanses pores.

Why Double Cleanse?

1. Removes Stubborn Makeup & SPF

Water-based cleansers can’t fully break down waterproof makeup or sunscreen, but oil-based cleansers can, making this step non-negotiable if you wear SPF (and you should!).

2. Deep-Cleanses Pores & Prevents Breakouts

Dirt, sweat, and pollution build up in your pores throughout the day. One cleanse often isn’t enough. A double cleanse helps clear away grime, which in turn prevents congestion and breakouts.

3. Boosts Skincare Absorption

Ever feel like your serums aren’t working? That’s often because they’re sitting on top of dirty skin. A double cleanse routine ensures better product penetration so that your actives, such as vitamin C and retinol, reach your skin.

4. Fights Premature Ageing

Pollution and leftover impurities can contribute to dullness, inflammation, and fine lines. Double cleansing removes these skin-ageing culprits, keeping your complexion fresh and radiant.

How to Double Cleanse 

Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser – The First Cleanse

• Apply Miracle Cleanse to dry skin.
• Massage gently for at least 60 seconds—focus on makeup-heavy areas.
• Add a splash of warm water to emulsify the mixture.
• Rinse thoroughly.

Pro Tip: Let Miracle Cleanse do the work—no harsh scrubbing.

Step 2: Soap-Based Cleanser 

• Apply Clean Slate Clarifying Bar or the Calm Plumping Bar to damp skin.
• Massage in circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds.
• Rinse with warm water and pat dry (never rub!).

To conclude. The naked truth

We are often asked, ‘What is double cleanse?

It is the cornerstone of a truly effective skincare routine. It involves using two different cleansers—an oil-based and a soap-based—to thoroughly remove makeup, sunscreen, excess oil, and daily grime.

The first cleanse gently removes surface debris, while the second deeply purifies your pores, preventing breakouts and allowing your active ingredients to absorb effectively.

This two-step ritual leaves your skin impeccably clean and helps maintain a healthy barrier, ensuring a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion over time.

It removes every last trace of makeup, SPF, and grime while preventing breakouts and dullness.

It allows your serums and moisturisers to work effectively, keeping your skin clear, radiant, and healthy.

Over time, you will notice clearer, softer, more glowing skin—and wonder why you didn’t start sooner.

FAQs: 

Do I have to double cleanse every night?

If you wear makeup or sunscreen, yes; if not, a single cleanse might be enough some nights.

Can I use coconut oil as a substitute for a cleansing oil?

We do not recommend this, as coconut oil can clog the pores of many skin types. Miracle Cleanse is designed to break down SPF and makeup without causing breakouts.

Will double cleansing dry out my skin?

Only if you’re using harsh foaming cleansers will barrier-friendly, ph-balanced bar cleansers like Clean Slate keep your skin hydrated and balanced.

Should I double cleanse in the morning?

It is not always necessary; however, if your skin feels oily or you used heavy products overnight, you may want to consider double cleansing in the morning.
