Ritual notes
Double Cleansing
Two cleansers, one face, in the right order.
Copenhagen
Double cleansing is two acts. The first is oil-based, and it dissolves the oily layer of the day — sunscreen, sebum, makeup, the dust that has settled on your forehead during a commute. The second is water-based, and it lifts everything the oil loosened.
Why both
One alone does half the job. Two of the wrong kind strips your skin barrier. Two of the right kind — oil, then a gentle gel — leaves your face actually clean and still soft to the touch.
How long
Ninety seconds for the first cleanser. Thirty for the second. Never longer.
