And that can be nice to remove so that it's not in excess.

But for the vast majority of people, they don't need to be cleansing.

And for a lot of people, they over-irritate their skin by cleansing more than they need to.

It's one of the first things I cut out when I do skincare routines for people is their morning cleanse.

I'm a huge fan of double cleansing as well.

And especially for someone like that who's wearing sunscreen, who's wearing makeup, the reality is people just aren't exceptional cleansers and they're maybe not as thorough as they think they're being.

And so there's residue that gets left on the skin with a single cleanse or their single cleanse is just a very gentle cleanser that might not be removing everything that's on there.

Yes.

Basically, you're just looking for a very thorough clean in the evening.

And some people can accomplish that with a single cleanse, but some people do a double cleanse.

And usually you're doing kind of an oil-based cleanser first.

So something like an oil, a balm, or something like a micellar water, which helps kind of grab the dirt and gunk off of your skin as sort of the first step.

And then you're using a second gentle cleanse to rinse the rest away.

You're trying to get it as thoroughly done as possible, but sometimes a cleanser will be good enough to do that all in one step.

I feel like if you're using makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, that can be a little bit stubborn to get off with like your typical gel cleanser.

And so using something that's more oil-based or micellar water on a cotton pad where you're also adding a frictional element can just be...

more thorough and comprehensive.

So for people who don't put a lot of stuff on their skin throughout the day, a single cleanse is usually appropriate.

But if you have makeup, if you have sunscreen on, a double cleanse usually just is more effective.

And what you're trying to do with an evening cleanse is set your skin up for success with whatever you're going to put on top of it.
