How to give your skin a deep, thorough cleanse
Ever wondered why, even after you’ve cleansed your entire face, there’s still makeup on your cotton pad when you use your toner? That’s because sometimes your cleanser doesn’t catch everything. And if this sounds like something that often happens to you, then you might be in need of a double dosage.

So what exactly does this mean? Well, if you want a really deep clean, you’d be best to start with a moisturising cleansing oil before you pick up your regular cleanser. We love Planet Eve Organics Certified Organic Facial Cleansing Oil for its insanely nourishing formula, and SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil for its special skin-clearing properties.
beautyheaven also loves La Mer The Cleansing Oil, The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil and Jurlique Nourishing Cleansing Oil.
To effectively use a cleansing oil, begin by dampening your face, and then apply a few drops of the oil over your face and neck. Your make-up and any excess sebum should start shifting immediately.
Your regular cleanser will then mop up any oily residue and provide a quick second cleanse, and your toner will leave your skin feeling touch-dry and oh-so-fresh.
Need a new regular cleanser? beautyheaven loves Sukin Cream Cleanser, Dermalogica UltraCalming Cleanser and Trilogy Cream Cleanser.

Cleansing oil really does the trick for me. I always choose one that doesn't sting eyes so I don't have to use a separate eye makeup remover.

They can be such a hit and miss - some really suit while others make me break out badly

I feel like this is a lot of work as well for when you don't have a lot of time but definitely the best for cleaning the skin thoroughly.

Don’t have a cleansing device?
Use an electric toothbrush in a pinch!

Love the Jurlique cleansing oil. So nourishing and effective. I double cleanse religiously now. Wish I started earlier. My skin would be in so much better condition.

I normally double cleanse as well because I wear makeup everyday but the Rosehip Cleansing Oil is also recommended and affordable! :)

I double cleanse when I use makeup. Bioderma micellar water does a great job.
