One of the good things I’ve realized in running this women’s lifestyle weblog is having a chance to discover new beauty techniques and constantly testing new beauty products available. I tell you I even can’t remember how many beauty products are now in the market (a hundred thousand, perhaps?) and one of our quests is to find the right one that suits our needs and skin type.
So for today, I’m here to share with you my personal take on the Korean Double Cleansing technique.
This is what I love about the Korean cosmetic industry. They keep on innovating and discovering new beauty products that suit every skin type for all genders of all ages.
Since last week, I’ve been testing the Korean double cleansing technique and see for myself how true and effective it is for me.
What is Double Cleansing?
During my pre-beauty blogging era, I was just washing my face with any available face soap I have, massaging it in a circular motion, and put some moisturizer after.
But that was a long time ago.
Until I’ve learned that what I’m previously doing is very wrong.
And this current beauty blogging era, I’ve learned to enjoy the glorifying effect of double cleansing.
Double cleanse starts with an oil cleanser followed by a foaming cleaner – you need to use two different formulas to thoroughly cleanse your face.
First, you have to cleanse your face with oil cleaner to remove those sebum, dirt, including your make-up. I’m using Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Cleansing Oil (5ml, got this as a gift). This thoroughly washed off all the pollutants I’ve acquired during the day, at the same time give moisture on my face.
Just put a small amount of Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Cleansing Oil on your dry palm, and smooth over to your dry face and neck. Then add a little water and rub your face and neck with a gentle upward stroke to remove that dirt for deep cleansing.
You can also use Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Cleansing Oil as your make-up remover. Put a little amount on cotton balls, then start removing your make-up.
You may use Biore Cleansing Oil Makeup remover as an alternative. I also gave 5-star for these oil cleansers.
Rinse your face with lukewarm water.
Next is washing your face with cleansing foam.
I use POINT Deep Clean Cleansing Foam with Moringa seed (175grams). This foam cleanser deeply cleans my pores removed all those sebum and pollutants. It has a creamy white formula and has a mild scent of Moringa.
Adding some moringa seeds to this formula, a good antioxidant that lubricates and nourishes the skin.
Moringa contains:
• Two (2) times the amount of protein of yogurt
• Our (4) times the amount of Vitamin A as carrots
• Three (3) times the amount of Potassium as bananas
• Four (4) times the amount of calcium as cows’ milk
• Seven (7) times the amount of Vitamin C as oranges

After using cleansing oil and thoroughly rinsed off, squeeze a small amount of foam/cream cleanser onto your palm, mix it with a few drops of water and start lathering it first to your palm to make it foamy. Once it’s foamy put it on your face and massage your face in an upward motion. Then rinse it with lukewarm water.
Repeat doing the cleansing technique two (2) times a day – morning and night time and you’ll see its amazing result. I’ve just done this double cleansing for a while now (and just tried this POINT Deep Clean Cleansing Foam and Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Cleansing Oil two weeks ago).
The double cleansing technique plus the products I’ve been using gives me that clean and fresh look, and not worrying about breakouts!
Yeah, I admit that during my pre-beauty blogging era I was a bit lazy and always in a rush in cleaning my face. And after all, constantly reading and doing self-studying online, I discovered I was doing it wrong. Changing my beauty routine isn’t bad after all! And I avoiding my laziness attitude towards skincare.
I tell you that being lazy makes you ugly.
Yup, it’s true!
(But we can’t blame cats for being lazy. They are born to be that way… and they are born as cute as ever!) LOL. Sorry no cats memes today coz he’s still sleeping, ZZZZZZZZ
I think that double cleaning works on me and it’s not actually that difficult.
In order to get the positive result that we want, all we have to do is consistently doing it day and night and we will achieve that glowing look!
I’m done washing my face and I’m ending my review here. Because I need to take a bath now, hahaha.
Hope ladies you’ve learned something from my quick review!
POINT Deep Clean Cleansing Foam (175grams) which I’ve purchased for Php200.00 recently at Sun Han Mart 24HR Korean-Store located at Bonifacio Global City. I’m not sure where else here in Manila you can buy it, but you can check it online through Amazon or any Korean online stores.
Celeteque Advanced Anti-Aging Cleansing Oil is available at most beauty stores nationwide!
What is your cleansing routine? Have you tried the double cleansing technique? I would love to hear your stories here!
xoxo, Blair
Maybe this is what I've been doing wrong all along! Your skin looks amazing and I've had issues with my skin for as long as I can remember! This is one technique I haven't tried but I'm willing to risk it to see if it helps!

Hello Kyla,
DeleteYou should try it, and you can use any cleansing foam and cleansing oil available near you and suits your skin type. If you are a bit hesitant, try it first on your hand, twice a day :D It you haven't got allergies, then its good to go for your face.
Love all your product reviews. Great to learn about so many products.
ReplyDeleteI tried double cleansing some time ago. And back then I thought it was too much work so I stopped haha. Now you make me think of it again. I will try again and see if I can keep going! Great review.
ReplyDeleteHello Carola,
DeleteThrough this beauty blogging, I've learned that there is no such thing as too much when taking care of our skin. You should do it again!
This sounds like a great product and for someone with sensitive skin it would be worth trying, unfortunately we do not have most of these products over here but I will be sure to look out for it.
ReplyDeleteHello Sheri,
DeleteYou may use any substitute products - any variants of cleansing oils and cleansing foam is okay, as long as your product of choice suits your skin type.
I've never heard of double cleansing until now. I like the concept and the idea of getting my skin really clean. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Beth!
DeleteWhen you have clear and clean face, ah you can forget those foundations!
I should try this. My skin could always use some help. I don't really have a cleansing routine and I need to start one!
ReplyDeleteAct now! It's never too late to take care of our skin :D Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteYes I double cleanse! I use a body shop oil cleanser then a simple face wash. This one sounds great! Ree love30
ReplyDeleteHi five for double cleansing! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteI didn't know double cleaning was a thing. My skin is so sensitive, I'd be scared this would dry it out.
ReplyDeleteHello Roxy,
DeleteYou can grab a cleansing oil and cleansing foam for a trial pack, most of the beauty stores give it out for free. If the products suits you, then you can buy it in full size :)
This is a great review, thanks for sharing! I might try it out :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Filipa :D
DeleteLooks interesting! My face is so sensitive, I get allergic reactions so easily. I would have to be careful.
ReplyDeleteYeah so better test it first on your arm or at the back of your hand for two to three days and see if you got some bad reactions.
DeleteOhh soo cool
ReplyDeleteThank you Kay!
DeleteThis sounds good! Your skin looks really clean, though! I think I need to try this one out. But lately I use the Aveda Tulasara: https://esseremoda.nl/stress-away-with-tulasara/. These products are amazing! My stress bumps on my forehead are finally gone :) X
ReplyDeleteAveda is also good! I also love their body lotion and bath products, but recently forced to switch to other brands because Aveda was out-of-stock, lol.
DeleteAnd I thought double cleansing was just doing it twice lol. I had no use you neede two different products. I think I would like the oil cleanser but having dry skin anything foamy is usually too drying for my skin. Glad you get to test out so many new products and I dare say there are indeed hundreds of thousands.
ReplyDeleteThe good thing about double cleansing, and using the cleansing oil is that the oil gives us moisture after cleansing. This is good especially if have super dry skin.
DeleteVery interesting way of cleansing your face. I just keep it simple and use one product. This seems to give a very deep cleansing though. Nice to learn new methods.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is.. but this is just an additional technique. If yours already suits you, stay that way. :D
DeleteNever even heard of double cleansing. I keep my routine extremely simple and fast. My skin never breaks out and so my mentality is, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
ReplyDeleteLucky you CJ! Weather also affects the skin to break out. We are located in a hot tropical weather which makes our skin fucks up every now and then, so that's why we're kind of obsessing to have a good skin... I personally put that on my life bible... I don't wanna see my self in the mirror wrinkled and old like a sharpay :D
DeleteYour skin is just so clear!
ReplyDeleteThank you Divya!
DeleteI've never heard of double cleansing and am intrigued by this. I'd love to try these products!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lois, you should try double cleansing, and you may use any cleansing oil and foam cleanser that suits you well.
Deletecool review, now i see why you always always look beautiful and stunning.
ReplyDeleteHahaha thanks! I'm just washing my face properly, not so secret at all.
DeleteI am hearing so much about Korean beauty products at the moment. I really have to give them a try!
ReplyDeleteYou must try it. Korean beauty products are almost breaking the internet, and even the big cosmetic companies in Europe and US are starting to invest with Korean cosmetic companies.
DeleteI can totally relate to it. The number of beauty products available creates so much confusion in finding the appropriate one. But yes if you do find the product you are looking for, you are sorted.
ReplyDeleteI agree :D Thanks Laveena.
DeleteI have never taken too much care about how to wash face... looks like I did very wrong way.
ReplyDeleteYour face is glowing at the end of the post. :)
Thank you Indrani. I was doing it wrong too. Then I tried this technique and waahhh! IT's amazing! I see and feel the result on the second day :D
DeleteI was absolutely clueless about double cleansing. This post is like a wake up call for my skin regime will look out for this product
ReplyDeleteBetter to take care it now than never :)
DeleteLooks interesting, you're giving me ideas to have more attention to my skin. I'm so lazy and my skin is very delicate, so it's rather difficult to find the right product.
ReplyDeleteDo you spend a lot of time on caring about your skin or is it more connected to a few precautions?
I spend time (but not all my time) for taking acre of my skin, both morning and before bedtime. I don' have skin allergies, its just that having a good skin is nice... more reason to wear less makeup.
DeleteYour skin looks great so you know this must work. Definitely worth looking into.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is, until I haven't found much better to these products, definitely I'll stick to these.
DeleteThis sounds like a great product and I think I need to start this one! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Jasmine!
DeletePerhaps I am the only one who uses soap for cleaning my face, but never mind that. I think fresh face is always important when going to bed, so this way or that way we can agree on one thing. Maybe one day I switch to cleansers
ReplyDeletein the end, the purpose is to sleep with a clean face. That's good!
Deletelook like suitable for u ... ur skin look well even no makeup ^^
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've becoming OC with my skin... am kind of afraid to get old with wrinkles :)
DeleteThat's an awesome review for this product. I'll definitely recommend this to all my friends to try out. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this out as not every cleanser suits my face skin. Hmm sometimes it's quite sad when I want to choose a face cleanser to use.
ReplyDeleteHello Shirley,
DeleteBest trick is try it first to your wrist. If you got irritation then the cleanser doesn't suits you.
looks good on you. Shall see if it works for me or not.
ReplyDeleteHello Sheery,
DeleteYou can use your current cleanser foam and add a cleanser oil, then observe the result on you :)
i usually just wash my face with a scrub once a day after an entire day.. interesting.. must give this double cleansing technique a go..
ReplyDeleteTry it babe! it might suits you :)
DeleteIt is so true that being lazy makes one ugly. Sometimes it is not able being lazy but about time, or the lack of. Need to prioritise better.
ReplyDeleteAlways give time for everything you want.
Deletegoing to look up this brand... sure looks like an interesting brand I so want to try out
ReplyDeleteThank you Miera! Do let me know the results on you :)
Deletelook different after you applied!! Great products!!!Would like to try it as well!
ReplyDeleteThank you visiting, and yes please try it too!
DeleteI have not try this yet, sound like a great products.
ReplyDeleteThey are both mild to the skin, Sunshine :) Hope these are available to your local beauty stores.
DeleteDidn't know about this brand until I read your post, thanks for the info sharing :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Ivy. This brand is not advertised a lot on TV, but available in most aesthetic clinics that offers Restylane fillers.
DeleteUnfortunately, my skin type doesn't allow me to double cleans.. T.T
ReplyDeleteOh I see. What important is you've already found the best cleanser for you!
DeleteYour skin look great! Haven't try this brand yet. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Shini! Yeah the Korean cleanser is quite new. And oil cleanser is made from US I think.
DeleteHi Blair I would definitely love to try this double cleanser! I love having my face cleanse and looks fresh after a tired day of working.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon, and please let us know the result on you! You can try any cleansing foam and oil that suits you well :)
