I came across this article about a skin care technique called double cleansing. Most of us probably assume simply lathering our faces with cleanser and rinsing it with water leaves it clean enough to promote a clear, and healthy complexion. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy, and like everything else it takes consistency and care to have beautiful skin. In this article, Sasha explains double cleansing and stresses it’s importance, she hopes it will become your ritual beauty process.
"If there’s one thing that I’m particular about, it’s washing my face. That’s probably why I’m always on the look out for the best facial wash, makeup remover, or skin toner. I like cleaning my face. I often make it a point to wash my face when I get up in the morning (or night, as the case may be) and yes, I try to wash it within the day if I feel icky.
I’ve heard it said before that you shouldn’t wash your face more than twice a day, reason being is that it will dry up your skin. I’m not quite sure if there’s any truth in that but I was a bit alarmed by it. However, I reckon moderation is key. Now, I only wash my face before going to bed, when taking a bath, after waking up or when I’ve perspired or need to remove my makeup. All reasons seems valid to me, don’t you agree?
Double Cleansing is approached in two stages: for STAGE 1, eliminate excess sebum and the make-up and for STAGE 2, eliminate the impurities. Which mainly tells you that there are a set of products that should be used for stage one and another for stage two." Read More

I have taken this technique and applied it to my routine. I need to be very thoughtful when washing my face because I have stopped using cleanser. I have very sensitive skin, and I was having a problem with redness, and sometimes breakouts. My boyfriend, who is very thoughtful himself, suggested that I try washing without soap. Since I am not using soap I have to be very thorough with my cleansing, but it has definitely helped. I still use a gentle exfoliator once, or twice a week to be sure my pores are cleared out.
