Why Cleansing Water?
Cleansing water is a game-changer for anyone with a busy lifestyle. Lightweight and fluid-rich, it’s designed to remove makeup effortlessly while keeping your skin hydrated all in one step. Most cleansing waters are oil-free, but thanks to their innovative surfactant-based formula, they effectively lift makeup and impurities without the need for harsh scrubbing. What makes Japanese cleansing waters even more appealing is their simplicity: no rinsing or extra products required. Just swipe with a cotton pad, and the moisturizing ingredients are left behind to nourish your skin.
What Is the Double Cleansing Method?
The double cleansing method is a cornerstone of effective skincare and is considered the gold standard for achieving clean, clear skin. It involves using two types of cleansers: an oil-based cleanser followed by a foaming or gel-based cleanser. This method ensures your skin is deeply cleansed without stripping away its natural moisture. It’s especially beneficial for those in urban environments, where pollution and daily grime can take a toll on the skin.
