Unlock Radiant Skin: Dr. Sanchi Jain Reveals the Power of Double Cleansing

In today's world of pollution, makeup, and SPF-heavy skincare routines, ensuring your skin is thoroughly clean at the end of the day is critical. Dr. Sanchi Jain, a dermatologist explains us double cleansing—a revolutionary technique designed to remove makeup, impurities, and sunscreen for a deeper clean, leaving your skin refreshed and ready to absorb nourishment.

What is Double Cleansing?

Double cleansing is a two-step skincare process that ensures every trace of makeup, grime, and environmental pollutants is removed from your skin. Dr. Sanchi Jain emphasizes that the process is beneficial for everyone, particularly those exposed to makeup, sunscreen, or harsh environmental conditions.

The key to double cleansing lies in using two different types of cleansers:

1. The First Cleanse: This step focuses on removing all surface-level impurities, including makeup, dirt, oil, sweat, and pollutants. Products like micellar water, cleansing balms, or oils are ideal for this step. Dr. Jain recommends micellar water for its micelle-containing formula that effectively lifts dirt without stripping the skin. For people with dry skin cleansing oils can work wonders by dissolving makeup while maintaining hydration.

2. The Second Cleanse: After the first cleanse removes external impurities, the second cleanse ensures the skin is thoroughly cleaned at a deeper level. This step uses a gentle cleanser suited to your specific skin type whether that's a hydrating, soothing formula for dry skin or a gel-based cleanser for oily skin.

Who Should Double Cleanse?

Dr. Jain firmly believes that everyone can benefit from double cleansing, especially those who wear makeup or sunscreen or are exposed to impurities. Even if you don't use makeup, sunscreen and daily pollution can create a barrier on your skin that needs to be thoroughly removed.

When Should You Double Cleanse?

Dr. Sanchi Jain advises incorporating double cleansing into your nighttime skincare routine for optimal results. Since your skin accumulates dirt, sweat, and grime throughout the day, a thorough cleanse at night ensures your skin is fully prepped for repair during sleep.

After double cleansing, it's essential to pat your skin dry gently and follow up with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
