How to Double Cleanse with Banila Co Cleansers

  • By Vickie Le

Published: Monday, Sep 22, 2025

Your skin deserves more than a quick wash because it has been subjected to pollutants, oil, makeup, and sunscreen throughout the day. Double scrubbing is necessary in this situation! Double cleansing, the first step in the Korean 10-step skincare procedure, guarantees that your skin is completely cleansed without losing its natural moisture content. Great skin, in our opinion at Banila Co, begins with a clean slate, and this tutorial will teach you how to double cleanse for optimal effects. Are you prepared to have radiant, faultless skin? Let's get started!

 

Why Cleaning Should Never Be Ignored

Despite its apparent simplicity, cleansing is one of the most crucial steps in your skincare regimen. Your skin gathers perspiration, oil, filth, and contaminants from the surroundings throughout the day. Dead skin cells and sebum accumulate on the skin's surface even while you sleep. These contaminants can cause breakouts, clog pores, and weaken your skin's natural barrier if they are not adequately eliminated. This can eventually make your complexion appear dreary, uneven, and dull.

Cleansing is therefore an essential part of your skincare regimen, both at night and in the morning. It involves more than just washing your face; it involves keeping your complexion balanced, healthy, and radiant. The remaining skincare products function better on a clean, fresh base, assisting you in achieving that radiant, glass skin look.

 

What's in Your Cleanser and How Cleaning Works

Now that we understand the need of washing, let's examine how it functions and what to look for in a cleanser.
You may ask yourself, "Why not just wash your face with water?" The creation of cleansers holds the solution.

Surfactants are substances found in cleansers that remove pollutants, oil, and grime. One of the two components of surfactants binds to oil, while the other attracts water. Impurities are wiped away as you rinse. These surfactants, however, are unable to distinguish between beneficial skin constituents like lipids and natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) and dangerous accumulation. For this reason, it's essential to use a mild, pH-balanced cleanser that doesn't strip your skin.

 

Double Cleansing: What Is It?

To achieve a thorough yet delicate cleanse, double cleansing entails applying two cleansers consecutively. Makeup, sunscreen, and extra oil are broken down in the first stage, and any residue is removed in the second, leaving your skin clean and fresh.

  • Step 1: Oil-Based Cleanser: This could be micellar water, a cleansing oil, or a balm. To provide a complete first cleansing, these solutions efficiently dissolve deposits and contaminants that water-based cleansers can find difficult to get rid of. The Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm is one of the most iconic options in K-Beauty, beloved for its ability to melt away stubborn makeup and sunscreen.
  • Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser: This mild, water-soluble cleanser ensures a thorough yet non-stripping clean by getting rid of any leftover residue from the first step.

Although this technique is effective for all skin types, it is particularly helpful for oily or combination skin. In reality, it helps maintain a clear, balanced complexion without the need for rigorous scrubbing, even if it could seem like an extra step.

 

How Your Cleansers Should Be Used

Balms and Oil Cleansers

Although they are most effective when used as the initial step in double cleansing, you can also use them alone if you'd like. Use them on dry skin to efficiently remove sunscreen and makeup. Apply a tiny quantity (about the size of an almond) and gently massage it into your face, focusing on the region around your eyes. Rinse with lukewarm water after adding a small amount of water to form a milky emulsion. Use a moist towel or cotton pad to gently remove the balm for a more thorough cleaning. This technique is especially effective for long-lasting or waterproof makeup.

Our Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Original is ideal for all skin types and provides an opulent cleansing. Bamboo and Rooibos extracts serve to renew the skin, while Onsen-Sui relaxes and refreshes the skin. Your skin will be soft, radiant, and bright when vitamin E nourishes and angelica root extract reduces inflammation.

For those struggling with breakouts, the Banila Co Clean It Zero Cleansing Balm Pore Clarifying offers tea tree leaf extract and exfoliating acids to target excess sebum and clogged pores, leaving the skin refreshed and balanced.

Avoid drying your face after using an oil cleanser if you're undertaking a double cleanse. Just proceed to the water-based cleanser, which is the following step.

Water-Based Cleansers

Use roughly the size of an almond to apply on moist skin. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a fresh towel after massaging for 30 to 60 seconds.

Our Clean It Zero Foam Cleanser gently removes any leftover residue for the ideal wash, leaving your skin balanced and renewed. Glycerin hydrates, Rooibos extract calms, and vitamin E provides antioxidants, making it perfect for all skin types and guaranteeing a healthy, radiant complexion.
