Easy Double Cleansing Tip

Lise

Pictured above: my current cleansing oil and my oatmeal and milk ‘syndet’ (read: synthetic detergent) cleansing bar. The bar has a skin friendly pH and consists of my fave super-mild ingredients for sensitive and dry skin. The oil is a blend of castor, coriander seed (carrier) oil and açai oil.

Today, I’m going to share a tip on how to combine traditional oil cleansing with a cleansing bar and create your own 2-in-one easy peasy double cleansing routine. This is great for sensitive and dry skin (and for those who love oil cleansing but hate the cleanup).

Here’s how I double cleanse using these 2:

  1. Apply cleansing oil to dry skin. Massage skin gently using circular movements

  2. Wet hands and create lather with bar. Notice how extra creamy the lather is with the addition of the oil on your hands.

  3. Apply lather to face and massage skin gently using circular motions. The lather will become even more creamy as you massage your skin.

  4. Rinse off with comfortably warm water

There are 2 things you achieve with this method

  1. Super gentle cleansing for sensitive skin

  2. Super easy cleanup

I tried taking a picture of the latheriness of this combination but this picture doesn’t really do it justice. By the time I had rinsed and dried my one hand to take the photo, a lot of the lather was already gone. But you can get an idea. The lather does look a little green because the açai oil really colors a lot.

Make it Your Own

Use your cleansing oil of choice and combine it with any gentle face cleansing bar you like.
