How to double cleanse| COMMON MISTAKES | Dr Dray

Dermatologist Dr Dray on the skin benefits of double cleansing. How to double cleanse and common mistakes you may be making when you double cleanse. In this video I discuss choosing an oil based cleanser and skin types that benefit from double cleansing. Double cleansing involves using an oil based cleanser first, followed by a gentle cleanser. You also can use a micellar water as a first cleansing step, however, in my experience this can burn and sting around the eyes.

[@msagoo29]

As a guy with very reactive dry rosacea prone skin, I wear only waterproof tinted SPF, and find that 2 pumps of Cerave hydrating cleanser does the job perfectly before bed, and 1 pump in the morning to remove retinol and any oils during the night. The biggest mistake I made was consulting Hirons the influencer, a while back, who told me to use a hot cloth and a boutique fancy cleansing balm, and to cleanse twice - it left me with red inflamed skin, she told me to preserver and not bother with SPF indoors at the office, but luckily I found Dr Dray whose advice fixed my skin. Never listen to influencers with zero skin care credentials

[@stephespi8373]

What sunscreen do you use ?

Following to find out what sunscreen u use!

[@msagoo29]

I use IS Clinical SPF50 in beige tint. It’s rarely mentioned but out of 20+ SPF’s I’ve tried for sensitive skin, this is the best. I also have light brown Indian skin, with Keratosis Pilaris on my neck - shaving is painful, it goes bright red, so I use Nivea 0% alcohol shave gel with no fragrance, the IS Clinical tinted SPF covers all my imperfections, the Cerave lotion soothes me

Fun fact: even our grandmothers double cleansed. To remove dirt and make up with a fatty cream and then wash the face with soap was the common evening routine “for the lady“ up until pretty recently. It only changed with the invention of modern cleansers, that promised to do in one step what was two steps befor.

She worked on the wrinkles & started using sunscreen. When I married her nephew in 1989, she had zero wrinkles. They didn't come back until she was 78! My mother used to harp about not getting a tan. At least I listened to her about my face...and I'm glad I did.

I’ve been double cleansing for years. I started as an alternative to using makeup wipes and I’m so glad I made the switch. I don’t mind oil cleansers but they can get messy so I tend to prefer cleansing balms. Clinique’s take the day off cleansing balm is an oldie but goody.

Double cleansing made the biggest difference to my skin texture. It’s my favourite step in my routine, so satisfying to remove everything at the end of a long day. I loveeee the inkey list oat cleansing balm & ordinary squalane cleanser as my first step ♥️

[@pepperyiyi]

In Asian countries we have another step before washing off the oil based remover - we use a little bit of water to massage the cleanser on your face so it "milkify" (I don't know the term in English) but not washed off yet. Once you give it a little circular motion and you should see the oil based cleanser looks white and milky, then you can wash it off completely with water. Then you use your gentle cleanser after. This really helps to get all the dirt and waterproof stuffs out.

[@christinedriver8569]

Hi, thanks for this video. It’s always so helpful to have healthy skin practices reinforced by someone with Dr. Dray’s expertise. I’ve been double cleansing for a few years and love it. It is very gentle and effective on my skin. I just need to be careful not to use products that are too harsh or stripping to my skin barrier. My preference is for a cleansing balm like Heimish followed by a creamy cleanser like Aveeno nourishing oat cleanser. Happy cleansing everyone!

@@baibiebaibea9740 hi, well I’m new to skincare and I became interested when I used cerave cleanser. I broke out with an allergic reaction. I used cerave healing ointment to clear it and it worked. From then on, I started looking for sensitive skincare products. I have been using inkey, glow receipt, and now Pacifica sensitive skin which is fabulous. I have been listening to Cassandra Bankson as well. She also recommends ceremedex which is great too. Both Pacifica and ceremedx have ceremides, so it’s healing. I use their cleanser and moisturizer.

I love double cleansing, I actually look forward to it at the end of the day. Just the act of massaging the oil or balm into my face is soothing. My skin doesn’t get irritated and doesn’t feel dry and tight, and it gets all traces of dirt oil sunscreen and makeup. It’s the best cleansing method I’ve ever tried. Can’t imagine switching to a different one.

[@wavyjenny602]

Yes! I love double cleansing! It feels like I’m giving myself a spa treatment, , it’s such an important part of my bedtime routine that I’d hate to skip it now, I use the Inkey List oat cleansing balm or The Ordinary squalaner cleanser for the first cleanse (I also love Nip & Fab vitamin C oil cleanser and have the Hada Labo oil cleanser but haven’t used it yet - I’m a cleanser junkie so I always have a few on the go) followed by Cerave Hydrating cleanser for the second cleanse. At the moment I’m using Kate Sommerville Delikate for the second cleanse as I’m having some skin irritation from chemotherapy treatment, it’s good but VERY expensive so I’m going back to Cerave when I finish it 🤣

I’ve been double cleansing for a couple of years now because of you, Dr Dray. My favorite 1st step is the Klairs Black Deep cleansing oil & Vanicream for the 2nd. I don’t even wear makeup, but I do wear sunscreen. I feel that oil cleanse helps to, not just clean, but to moisturize, as well.

[@samrittenhouse]

I've been using the double-cleanse method with Neutrogena fragrance-free sesame oil as a first step per your previous helpful tutorials, Dr. Dray. Another benefit I appreciate as someone with rosacea and sensitive skin is there's no need for any vigorous rubbing or scrubbing to get off the sunscreen film. The oil in the first step dissolves the sunscreen with a few gentle circular motions, then the second cleanser lathers enough for everything to rinse right off. Hugs & thanks as always for your excellent advice!

[@mignonalverson655]

Does the Neutrogena sesame oil go on smooth? Like do you feel you have to rub a bit to move it around your face?

[@mizuslayer]

@@mignonalverson655 i do the exact same thing (use fragrance-free neutrogena sesame oil as a first step and then cerave face wash as second step) and i don’t find a major need to do any vigorous rubbing in order to get the sunscreen off. if i were to ever wear makeup or anything extra then i’d prob use a gentle facewipe or washrag w/ warm water to gently wipe off excess gunk but realistically just taking your time using your hands w/ circular motions should do the trick. technically there’s no major need for witch hazel/cottonball after either. just gently moisturize after and washes your pillowcases/bedsheets/sleep masks/covid face masks every week

[@aniqanusrat7085]

Hello, do you double cleanse everyday?

[@mizuslayer]

@@aniqanusrat7085 I don't bc I don't wear makeup -- I oil double cleanse only if I really piled on the sunscreen or have lots of grime from being at the gym all day or something. but if one wears makeup then I think they absolutely should gently double cleanse everyday

I double cleanse at the sink each night but due to my acne prone skin have always followed up any cleanse routine with an oil free non-comedogenic 'toner'...not to 'balance' out my skin but to ensure I've removed ALL residue, that could be lingering on my face, down my neck or around my ears. Then proceed with any active topicals and a moisturizer. :)

[@lianapullman4967]

I started double cleansing about two years ago. I wish I knew a out this when I was younger as I always just used a cream base cleanser that you wipe of and the tone like they used to after and I would always have makeup left on the cotton round. I no longer have to worry about that.

[@justynawisniewska1213]

And having darkness around the eyes the next morning from the mascara that hadn't gotten completely removed, eeew. Those were dark times. I love double cleansing but I've only been doing that for around a year. I ditched cotton rounds a long time ago and just went in with gentle cleanser multiple times (usually around 3), but even though it seemed like a simpler routine with just one product it took me more time rubbing away especially at my mascara than with a double cleanse. Now I even wear waterproof mascara daily cause it gets melted away with no time with a balm or a cleansing oil.

NEEDED THISSS!! Been looking for a cleansing balm.

I double cleanse with mineral oil and have never had any issues. I love it! Thank you Dr Dray!😊

Using a double cleans with rosacea has helped me a lot! Makeup comes off way more easily without having to rub, and rubbing is bad news for me!

[@hibahammoud1608]

What products do u use for ur rosacea?!

[@shafamarwa8519]

Mam I use Neutrogena body oil (fragrance free)as my first cleanser for your recommendation.its cheap long lasting and my skin loves it💜💜

[@staciericardo]

I’ve been double cleansing for a few years now. I love it. It’s just the best way to gently remove makeup and sunscreen. I tried using sunflower oil at first. It didn’t work well. Wish I had these tips then, but you live and learn. I had to use really hot wash cloths to remove it. I did break out some. Most likely I wasn’t getting it all off. But now I love my ponds cold cream. It’s what I use most. The Clinique take the day away balm is great, bit expensive. Ponds gets the job done and doesn’t irritate my eyes. If I’m wearing winged eyeliner or just super heavy eye makeup I do like to use an eye makeup remover. The equate of the neutrogena remover is wonderful. It doesn’t sting my eyes. I soak a cotton round and let it sit for 30 secs or so. Then I gently wipe it off. Then I use my ponds cold cream.

Especially beneficial in the Winter 🥶

[@MizzKittyBichon]

My favorite oil-based cleansers: The Body Shop Chamomile Silky Cleansing Oil, Elf Holy Hydration Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm, Farmacy Beauty Cleansing Balm (both Green Clean and Very Cherry versions), Merle Norman Cleansing Cream (my mom's go-to cold cream for years) My favorite water-based cleanser: good old Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser (have used this for years and it even doubles as a menstrual cup cleanser)

[@Skihelenb]

This video was so helpful! I’ve started wearing sunscreen and sometimes mascara and became interested in the double cleanse. I didn’t have a good first cleanser so I tried the coconut oil and it did not go very well. Now it’s nice to know why :) Thank you as always for your helpful videos! I’m always learning!!

[@alexcs2190]

I use coconut oil every night as first cleanse but i don’t try to remove with water - I use a warm damp face cloth and it works beautifully :)

[@rumana948]

Thanks Dr. Dre! Btw I’m loving the haircut 🥰❤️

[@shynes4908]

I started double cleansing using Hadalabo oil & following with Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser a few months back. I also use Prosacea for my acne rosacea. I wear tinted mineral sunscreen every day. All of these products because of your recommendations. I have been so pleased. Without your help I would have likely searched around for years. Thank you so much!

[@annibunny5968]

I love double cleansing, on top of it being a gentle cleansing method that's still effective, I find the process very relaxing. Massaging in the oil and then cleansing it off, feels like a spa moment every night 🧖🏻‍♀️🌿 + for anyone reading this, who also lives in Germany: the cleansing oil from Balea is fragrance free and very cost effective, can only recommend 😊

[@hannajung7512]

True, Balea rocks, I use the Jessa sensitive Intimwaschlotion as a cleanser as second cleanse, its fragrance free and has a low pH, and only costs a fraction of other cleansers

[@charisma-hornum-fries]

It’s really great. Now that I can safely go on my yearly trip from Copenhagen to Berlin again I am stocking up on it. The price in Denmark is a horror story and it’s also a perfect excuse to go to Berlin. 😃

[@enielfblerta428]

Yesssss thanks so much!

[@gemmaxj-9562]

Danke für die Empfehlung. Hast du zufällig ölige oder mischhaut? Lässt sich der Ölfilm gut abwaschen?

[@hannajung7512]

@@gemmaxj-9562 ich habe trockene Haut, empfinde den Ölfilm als moderat und nicht sehr schmierig. Abwaschen lässt er sich mit einem milden Reiniger wie nichts, jedoch nicht mit Wasser. Wenn du etwas mildes suchst, dass in einem Schritt funktioniert (auftragen, einmassieren, abspülen, fertig) probier mal Reinigungsmilch (gibt es auch parfumfrei von Balea) Die ist sehr schonend hat allerdings eine geringere Reinigungsleistung als ein zwei Schritt System

[@whiteflower5603]

Wow! I have been using an oil-free eye makeup remover and wondering why it was burning. And I have a jar of Ponds Cold Cream on my vanity! Well, gonna deep 6 the remover...and hello cold cream! 😁 Thanks, Doc!!❤

[@elizamoisei]

Here for Dr. Drayz, no matter what she sayz 🤗

[@nafeijoch]

Yes, I double clean. Been doing it for about a year (right around the time I started watching all of your videos). I love it, it’s gentle on my skin and my favorite is Hada Labo because I feel it removed completely and it’s easy to get it off. Unlike the neutrogena that I find very hard to take off. Thanks for your advice. I love this kind of video

[@traceymurphy4804]

The biggest problem I have with the double cleanse is the film left on my eyes after making everything look fuzzy. It happens even if I don't open my eyes between cleanses.

[@Jennifer-uc2oh]

I have the same issue, so I remove my eye makeup first w Bioderma then proceed with a double cleanse. With the Bioderma removing 99% of my eye makeup I only require a light follow up cleanse of the eyes, no more blurry eyes now that I use this method. Sometimes there is residual makeup around my eyes, I remove that w micellar water (Bioderma) & cotton swab.

[@lulunana1532]

I have the same issue...it blurs my vision but I use eyedrops for dry eye and those help rinse ot out of my eyes.

[@ktmae9289]

@@Jennifer-uc2oh was just about to say the same! The Bioderma Sensibio is the BEST! Does not sting my very sensitive eyes at all. I use it first to remove eye makeup, then go in with a cleansing balm and I steer clear of my eyes because it’ll leave a film and blur my eyes no matter how careful I am! Then I rinse and finish off with Cerave foaming cleanser. My face is clean and hydrated every time!

[@megd5144]

This happened to me with the farmacy cleansing balm. I’ve noticed DHC’s cleansing oil doesn’t do that

[@ChristinaMagma]

@@ktmae9289 I was using Bioderma but found out they still test on animals… Garnier has a similar product that is cheaper and cruelty free :)

[@LaureninGermany]

I was so fed up of the eye burning, until just recently. I started using Kryolan makeup remover, the one in the flat dish. It feels oily and it’s really good at removing waterproof eye makeup, even eyelash glue. (I sometimes wear them on stage). I follow with cerave and I do also feel the need to use a cleansing bar, so maybe I am not rinsing enough at the sink, or the water is too cool, thank you.

Oil cleansing has been one of the greatest additions to my simple routine. I used micellar water for about a year but I hated using a cotton round to wipe my skin. Micellar water also seemed to dry my skin. UOMA Beauty has a phenomenal cleansing oil. Thanks, Doctor!

[@user-xm9nu5ex8q]

Micellar water is too dry for my skin too. I’m using Adapalene. Now, I changed my first step to Avene replenished cleansing oil. My skin feels better

[@fefemyluv]

@@user-xm9nu5ex8q same!! My skin actually improved in texture, and this is coming from someone with combo, more oily skin.

[@mahroz1997]

Can you use Vaseline as an oil cleanser?

[@fefemyluv]

@@mahroz1997 I wouldn’t use it. It’s too thick and may leave a film. You want something with more slip and ability to wash off easily with water.
