double cleansing
Double cleansing is a 2-step cleansing process to deeply cleanse your skin, prevent clogged pores, and remove makeup. It involves using an oil-based cleanser, followed by a water-based cleanser. This is especially important after Coachella or any festival when you’re wearing heavy makeup all day in the desert. I recommend cleansers from Harharu and Anua.

After experiencing a long day at a festival like Coachella, where my skin is exposed to heavy makeup, dust, and sweat, double cleansing has become an essential part of my routine to keep my skin healthy and glowing. I start with an oil-based cleanser, such as those from Haruharu or Anua, which effectively dissolves stubborn makeup, sunscreen, and excess sebum without stripping moisture. This step is crucial because it helps to dissolve products that water-based cleansers alone cannot remove. Following up with a gentle water-based cleanser like Anua’s Wonder Heartleaf + BHA helps to deep clean pores and remove any remaining impurities. The BHA in the cleanser gently exfoliates without irritation, which is perfect for sensitive or post-festival skin needing a reset. However, I avoid using water-based cleansers more than once a day to prevent over-drying. One tip I’ve learned is to apply the oil cleanser to dry skin and massage it thoroughly before rinsing with lukewarm water. Then, I apply the water-based cleanser with gentle circular motions to cleanse deeply without harsh scrubbing. This routine leaves my skin feeling soft, hydrated, and refreshed—ready to absorb serums and moisturizers more effectively. For those with oily or acne-prone skin, double cleansing is particularly beneficial as it controls excess oil production and reduces the risk of clogged pores that cause breakouts. Meanwhile, if you have dry skin, choosing fragrance-free, hydrating formulas like Anua’s unscented options can help maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Incorporating double cleansing after heavy makeup days or outdoor events not only improves your skin texture but also enhances the overall effectiveness of your skincare regimen. I highly recommend experimenting with products from Haruharu and Anua, as they strike a balance between cleanliness and gentle hydration, making your post-festival skin recovery soothing and efficient.
