Cleansing is the first, and most important, step for every regimen. You need a clean face so your skincare products can properly penetrate the surface of your skin!

And no – we do not count using Dial soap or a face wipe as cleansing.

It is most important to be cleansing at the end of your day as part of your nighttime routine due to airborne bacteria and pollution being attracted to your skin. If not washed away thoroughly, these extremities could potentially contribute to aging, pigmentation, and breakouts! We definitely do NOT love that.

As it turns out, our tried-and-true single cleanse is just not enough.

Let us introduce you all to the ‘Double Cleanse’

If this is your first-time hearing about double cleansing…you are in luck! Our LeClairé Skincare experts break it down for you here.

Double cleansing involves using your first cleanser to massage off and break down make-up, SPF, and sebum on the surface of your skin, then following it with a deeper, purifying second cleanse. The second round of washing will now clean much deeper into the pores to remove any leftover impurities.

At LeClairé Skincare, we carry a ton of great products that would be perfect weapons in your double cleanse* arsenal. Here are just a few of our favorites to help you achieve that much desired glow:
