Micro dust, sebum and waterproof sunscreen dissolve in oil, not in water. That is why the right first step is an oil-based cleanser.

Key Points

  • Step 1: massage the cleansing oil onto dry skin for 60 seconds, then rinse.
  • Step 2: follow with a gentle water-based cleanser to lift any residue.
  • Only needed at night; in the morning a water rinse or light cleanser is enough.
  • Choose an oil without artificial fragrance to keep sensitive skin calm.

Perfectly clean skin is not skin that feels squeaky. If your face feels tight after washing, use less friction and change your cleanser.
