Cleansing is the most important step in our home care routine and the 'Dermalogica Double Cleanse' is a must-do in any homecare routine for men and women. In saying this, there are also times when we just dont have the time (or after a late night out when you just want to get to bed) and we need to ensure our skin has the right support at these times too.
Why is double cleansing important?
During the day our skin is exposed to so much - pollution, dirt, dust, makeup and our own oils on the skin. We need to ensure we thoroughly remove this build-up to help give our skin's the best opportunity to rejuvenate and repair at night while we sleep.
The double cleanse will ensure our skin is left clean, refreshed and ready for our nighttime routine.
How do I double cleanse my skin?
It's easy! Firstly cleanse your skin - paying particular attention to the outer areas and the neck as these are often forgotten areas. Remove this with a gentle facecloth and lukewarm water.
Then, cleanse your skin again, except this time with a cleanser that is suitable for your skin and skin concerns. Cleansing can be done easily in the shower or at the basin.
Which cleanser is right for me?
Working out which cleanser is right for you is key to ensure your home care routine is targeting your concerns from the word go. Check out the guide below and our professional Skin Therapists can help if you're not sure.
1st Cleanse
The first cleanse will remove dirt, oil that we have accumulated on the skin and for women, it will also remove makeup. A cleansing type oil like the PreCleanse or the Micellar Prebiotic PreCleanse is the most effective way to start the cleanse routine as the ingredients liquefy and melt through all the layers of dirt, grime, makeup etc
- Lightweight oil
- Removes stubborn make-up
- Nourish and calms
- Micelles attract and dissolve impurities.
- Skin-nourishing lipids gently melts into the skin.
- Helps balance skin’s microbiome and boost its capacity for moisture retention.
2nd Cleanse - Target those concerns!
Once you have completed your first cleanse, the skin is clear of the dirt and grime etc and now we need to actually get in there and cleanse the skin. Dermalogica has a cleanser for all the main concerns we experience on our skin and here is a guide for you and the skin concerns they target. Swipe through to find the cleanser thats right for you.

My top tips to make cleansing easy and effective!
- Cleanse in the shower - time saving, easy!
- Cleanse your skin before you get too tired! It's late, you're tired and you just want to get to bed and your skin care routine is left (I can put my hand up here to say I have done this). As a result, I do my skincare routine earlier in the evening - it's done and my skin feels loved!
- If I'm out for a late night, I know in myself I will sleep better and look better in the morning if my skin care routine has been done.
