Unlock Glass Skin: The Ultimate Korean Double Cleanse Method
Unlock Glass Skin: Why the Korean Double Cleanse Works
Achieving that signature “glass skin” glow starts with a clean canvas. The Korean double cleanse method uses two carefully chosen cleansers—one oil-based, one water-based—to lift away every trace of makeup, SPF, sebum, and environmental debris. By respecting your skin’s natural barrier, you avoid over-drying and ensure maximum absorption of serums and moisturizers.
Step 1: Oil-Based Cleansing
Why it’s essential: Oil dissolves oil. An oil cleanser breaks down stubborn makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum causing enlarged pores and blackheads—without stripping your skin’s moisture.
How to use:
1. Dry hands and face.
2. Pump 1–2 pumps of oil cleanser (e.g., Corthe Dermo Essential Cleansing Oil or KrX Pre Cleansing Oil with Fermented Extracts) into your palms.
3. Gently massage in circular motions for 3-5 minutes, focusing on T-zone and lash line.
4. Add lukewarm water to emulsify into a milky texture, then rinse thoroughly.
Step 2: Water-Based Cleansing
Why it’s essential: After oil cleansing, a water-based cleanser washes away sweat, dirt, and leftover emulsified oil—guaranteeing a truly clean and acne-safe base.
How to use:
1. With damp hands, dispense a small amount of gel or foam cleanser (e.g., Dermathod Moist Morning Touch Foam Cleanser or KrX Glow Gel Cleanser).
2. Massage gently for 2-5 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
3. Pat skin dry with a soft, clean towel.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How often should I double cleanse?
Double cleanse at night, and do a light single cleanse in the morning.
2. Can I double cleanse if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
Yes! Oil cleansers normalize sebum production, and paired with a gentle foam or gel, they prevent over-stripping.
3. Will double cleansing dry out my skin?
Not when you choose hydrating oil or cream based formulas—look for ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, and fermented extracts.
4. Can I skip the oil step if I don’t wear makeup?
Even if you don't wear makeup, oil cleansers remove sunscreen, pollution particles, and excess sebum more effectively than water-based cleansers alone.
