What are the benefits of double cleansing?

Double cleansing offers a range of benefits for the skin.

  • It’s the ideal way to thoroughly remove all your makeup at the end of the day.
  • Unlike harsh products, a double regime involving an oil and cream cleanser won’t strip your skin of its natural oils.
  • The second step ensures any remaining makeup, grime or oil is gently removed.
  • It can help acne sufferers as it helps to eliminate debris from your pores. When your pores are blocked with sebum, makeup, dirt and sweat, a flare-up of blemishes can occur. So, by adopting a double cleansing routine, you’ll help to keep your skin clear and radiant.
  • Using a double cleansing routine removes impurities like oil and dead skin cells which allows follow-up products to penetrate the skin more effectively.

Give double cleansing a try and see how your skin improves with this easy, yet efficient step.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
