Double Cleansing: Skincare Gold or Just Doing Too Much?
Let’s be honest. Skincare routines have become more complicated than ever, and double cleansing has emerged as one of those “must-do” steps in many people’s nightly rituals. The concept sounds promising: wash your face twice, first with an oil-based cleanser to break down makeup and sunscreen, then again with a foaming or gel cleanser to rinse away dirt and residue.
But despite the trend’s popularity on social media, the truth is it might be doing more harm than good.
What Is Double Cleansing?
At first glance, double cleansing makes sense. A thorough clean feels responsible after a long day of SPF, pollution, and product layering. But here’s the catch: applying multiple cleansers back-to-back, especially if one is oil-based and the other foaming, can strip your skin’s natural protective barrier. That tight, squeaky-clean feeling? It’s usually a sign your skin has been over-cleansed, leading to dryness, sensitivity, or even breakouts from a weakened barrier.
Why Dr. Kaplan Doesn’t Recommend It
Dr. Kaplan has seen this countless times in his Beverly Hills practice. His philosophy is simple: the right cleanser should do it all the first time. You shouldn’t need multiple formulas if one is designed to deeply cleanse, support your barrier, and leave your skin better than it found it.
