Double Cleansing 101
Why You Should Never Skip Double Cleansing
Ever crawl into bed thinking, “I’m too tired to wash my face”?
Same. Been there. Think of it as leaving the dishes in the sink overnight. YUK!
Now that you have that visual and are thinking that you are ready to change your ways and now want healthy, glowing and hydrated skin AKA Clean dishes, keep reading because this blog is going to share more about “Double Cleansing”.
Let’s break down what double cleansing is, why your skin will thank you, and how to do it the Riman way.
What is Double Cleansing?
It’s a simple two-step cleansing process using two different kinds of cleansers.
- Step 1: An oil-based cleanser
Melts away makeup, SPF, excess oil, and all the “stuff” that clings to your skin throughout the day. Another Yuk! - Step 2: A water-based cleanser
Washes away sweat, dead skin, and anything left behind—so your skin is truly clean and ready for the good stuff
Think of it like shampoo and conditioner for your face. One may not work well without the other.
Why It’s a Must
As we age, our skin gets a little needier—more prone to dryness, dullness, and clogged pores. I’m a prime example of this as that’s where I was when I found Riman! And if you’re layering on sunscreen and makeup, then one quick wash at the end of the day isn’t cutting it anymore. Trust me!
Here’s what happens when you skip double cleansing:
- Pores stay clogged
- Skin looks dull, not dewy
- Serums and moisturizers can’t fully absorb which means wasting money!
But when you do double cleanse? Skin becomes softer, brighter, and more responsive to everything else in your routine. It’s like turning up the volume on your skincare results.
What Korean Skincare Taught Us
Double cleansing is not new—it’s been a foundational step in Korean skincare for decades. And considering how effortlessly radiant Korean women look at every age, I say we take notes & learn!
In Korea, clean skin is sacred. Double cleansing is considered the most important part of a healthy routine, not just something you do when you feel “extra.” It’s about prepping your skin for real results.
And since Riman is a Korean brand, it only makes sense we do skincare the Korean way – with intention, simplicity, and clean, high-performance ingredients.
How to Double Cleanse with Riman
Here’s the easiest glow-up routine you’ll ever love sticking to:
Step 1: ICD Moisture Cleansing Oil
This silky oil cleanser melts away makeup and grime like butter on warm toast.
Massage onto dry skin. Take a deep breath (yes, it’s that calming). Rinse with warm water.
Step 2: Choose Your Skin’s Match
🔹 Snow Enzyme Cleanser – A soft foam powered by natural enzymes that gently exfoliates and brightens dull skin. Perfect for dry or mature skin.
🔹 ICD Cleansing Powder Wash – A gentle exfoliating cleanser in powder form (hello, travel-friendly!), great for combination or oily skin types.
Use either daily or rotate depending on your skin’s mood. I use the powder when I shower and the snow enzyme the rest of the time – or most of the time.
It’s Not Extra—It’s Essential
Double cleansing isn’t about doing more… it’s about honoring your skin and doing what works. It’s 2 minutes of “you time” every day, and your skin will thank you. So go ahead, love on your skin a little!!
You’re not being high-maintenance—you’re respecting your self-care and skin!
