Double Cleansing with Argan Oil: A Game-Changer for Clean, Balanced Skin
Yes, even if you have oily skin.
You’ve probably heard of double cleansing—the skincare method that uses two types of cleansers: one oil-based and one water-based. The concept is simple: oil cleansers dissolve oil-based impurities like makeup, sunscreen, and sebum, while water-based cleansers wash away sweat, dirt, and pollutants.
But for many, this method still raises questions—especially for those with oily or sensitive skin. Can you use oil if you’re already oily? Will it make your skin greasy? Let’s clear up the confusion and walk through a natural, effective double cleanse using Organic Argan Oil.
Why Use an Oil Cleanser (Even with Oily Skin)?
It might feel counterintuitive, but oil dissolves oil.
That means oil cleansers—when chosen correctly—lift away excess sebum, makeup, and buildup from the skin’s surface without stripping or irritating. In fact, cleansing oils are often more gentle than traditional cleansers, making them perfect for all skin types.
If your skin tends to be oily or acne-prone, using a non-comedogenic oil like Argan Oil can actually help balance oil production, reduce breakouts, and support the skin’s natural barrier.
Are Water-Based Cleansers Too Harsh?
Not when you use the right one.
A gentle, pH-balanced water cleanser is the ideal follow-up to an oil cleanse. Since the oil has already removed most of the surface-level impurities, your water-based cleanser can focus on giving your pores a deep, gentle clean—without over-drying or irritating your skin.
This two-step process leaves your skin clean, calm, and ready to absorb serums, toners, or moisturisers more effectively.
How to Double Cleanse with Argan Oil
Skip the synthetic oil cleansers filled with questionable ingredients—your Organic Argan Oil works perfectly on its own.
Here’s how to use it:
Step 1: Argan Oil Cleansing
- If you’re wearing eye makeup, remove it first with a gentle wipe or pad.
- Place 1 teaspoon of Organic Argan Oil in the palm of your hand.
- Apply the oil to your dry face and massage gently for one minute—focusing on areas with makeup, SPF, or congestion.
- Use a warm, damp cloth to gently wipe away the oil. Avoid scrubbing; let the cloth do the work.
Your skin will already feel soft, clean, and nourished.
Step 2: Water-Based Cleanser
Now, apply your gentle, sulfate-free water cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
Final Step: Lock in Hydration
Follow with your toner, serum, and a nourishing moisturiser (like more Argan Oil!). Your skin is now perfectly prepped to absorb all the benefits of your routine.
The Takeaway
No matter your skin type, double cleansing is one of the best habits you can adopt for clearer, healthier skin. It helps prevent breakouts, improves texture, and allows your skincare products to work more effectively.
And when you use pure, Organic Argan Oil, you’re not just cleansing—you’re feeding your skin with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamin E in one of the most natural ways possible.
