Cleansers

Double cleansing is the founding step of the Korean routine: a balm or oil first, to dissolve make-up, sunscreen and sebum, then a water-based cleanser to remove the rest.

In the morning, a simple rinse with water or a very gentle gel is enough. At night, double cleansing becomes essential as soon as you wear sunscreen — and you should.

A good cleanser never leaves the skin tight. If it does, it is too stripping, whatever its price.
