What is Double Cleansing?
One of the top skin care questions relates to double cleansing. A double cleanse is a two-step skincare routine that involves cleaning your face twice. In this method, you use two different types of cleansers in succession to thoroughly remove makeup, sunscreen, dirt, and impurities.
The first step is to use an oil-based cleanser, which can be in the form of a cleansing oil, cleansing balm, or micellar water with an oil base. The oil-based cleanser is designed to break down and dissolve oil-based impurities like makeup, sunscreen, and excessive oils. You apply the oil-based cleanser to dry skin, massage it in, and then rinse it off or wipe it away with a cloth. After using the oil-based cleanser, use a water-based cleanser, which can be a foaming or gel cleanser.
Water-based cleansers typically contain ingredients that can deeply cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural moisture. The purpose of this step is to remove sweat, dirt, and other water-based impurities. You apply the water-based cleanser to wet skin, lather it into your skin, and then rinse it off.
Benefits of Double Cleansing
- Double cleansing helps prevent clogged pores, acne, and other skin issues.
- When your skin is clean, skincare products, such as serums and moisturizers, can penetrate more deeply into it, giving you better results.
- Makeup is broken down and removed, making it easier to clean your face thoroughly.
- Keeping your pores clean can prevent breakouts, blackheads, and whiteheads.
- It boosts your skin’s radiance and leaves it feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.

What is the Difference Between Retinal Versus Retinol?
Another one of the top skin care questions is about the difference between Retinal and Retinol. Retinol and Retinal are active forms of Vitamin A, both works to plump and illuminate the skin, and help smooth up fine lines and wrinkles, making it one of the best anti-aging products in the market. It can also help improve blemishes by regulating skin cell turnover.
The difference between the two is that Retinal is the most potent form of Vitamin A, it is 10 times more potent and works 11 times faster than a retinol and it is recommended to client who have mature skin, while Retinol is a milder form of Vitamin A which is recommended to younger people and people with sensitive skin.
Both products are available over the counter, it can cause redness and dryness, and that’s why SPF and moisturizer are a must when using the product.
What is the Difference Between Physical vs Chemical Sunscreen?
Another one of the top skin care questions is about the difference between physical and chemical sunscreen. Here are the main differences of the two:
Physical Sunscreen
Physical sunscreen means that you are getting broad-range coverage and blocking out both UVA & UVB rays. Physical contains zinc oxide and titanium oxide, both of which have received FDA approval as safe. Physical means mineral-based rather than chemical based. Physical sunscreen creates a barrier on the skin preventing it from absorbing and causing the sun’s rays to deflect away from absorbing into the skin up to 90%. The UVA blockage helps to prevent sun damage, wrinkles and photoaging of the skin.
The downside to a Physical block is that it can be a bit heavier, more difficult to spread and on darker skin, it can leave a greyish/white tone to the skin. To help avoid this, look for a Physical block that has a tinted Zinc Oxide in it. Physical blocks are also a bit less waterproof than chemical ones, so re-application more often is key. But out of the water, they can last longer than Chemical
Chemical Sunscreen
With chemical sunscreen, you get Broad Range coverage, but the sun’s rays are not deflected away. Instead, the chemicals absorb the UVA rays before the skin can soak them up. Chemicals are not mineral based, but chemical based with a list of chemical ingredients
Some people, however, do not like chemical blocks because with it absorbing into the skin, they find their skin may get red or irritated from the chemicals. People with rosacea or very reactive skin may want to go with the Physical block instead. People are still a bit cautious about the negative aspects of the Chemical block being safe. However, any reputable Chemical Sunscreen these days have been FDA approved. Darker skins may find Chemical easier to blend into their skin without leaving that greyish/white tone on the skin.
