A well-cleansed face is the foundation of healthy skin. Whether you’re dealing with oiliness, breakouts, or simply want to maintain your glow—the right facial cleanser makes all the difference. But what should you choose—a gel cleanser or an oil cleanser? And how does the popular double cleansing method work? Find out below.
How do you properly cleanse your face?
- Cleanse twice a day: In the morning to remove sweat and sebum, and in the evening to cleanse away makeup, SPF and dirt. Always use a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type.
- Use lukewarm water: This helps maintain the skin’s natural barrier.
- Use two steps: The double cleansing routine starts with oil and follows with a gel or foam for a deep yet gentle cleanse.
- Pat your skin dry: Rubbing can irritate the skin, especially if it's dry or sensitive.
What is a gel cleanser?
A gel cleanser is a water-based formula that often lathers slightly. It removes excess oil, dirt, and impurities without drying out the skin. Perfect if you're looking for the best cleanser for oily skin or if you don’t wear makeup. Choose a pH-balanced cleanser to protect the skin barrier. Discover our gel cleansers for every skin type.
What is a cleansing oil?
An oil cleanser is a gentle yet effective product that dissolves makeup, SPF, and excess sebum without stripping your skin. It’s ideal for dry or sensitive skin, or as the first step in your double cleanse. The oil emulsifies into a milky texture when mixed with water and rinses off easily. Check out our cleansing oils.
Which cleanser suits your skin type?
If you have dry skin, go for a hydrating oil cleanser or a milky cleanser. For oily or combination skin, a foaming gel or foam cleanser works best. Sensitive skin? Choose a fragrance-free, pH-balanced cleanser without sulfates or alcohol.
