What is Double-Cleansing?

Two stages designed to properly remove cosmetics, sunscreen, and dirt, double-cleansing is a two-step procedure. The first step in the cleaning process uses an oil-based cleanser to remove surface debris. Using a water-based cleanser, the second cleanse dissolves sweat, grime, and extra sebum.

Particularly important in humid areas like Dubai, it helps to prevent irritated, dull, clogged pores.

Why Double-Cleansing Matters in Dubai Humidity

Dubai's mix of heat, humidity, and hard water can strain your skin. Standard cleansers might leave traces or not completely erase pollution and SPF. Particularly useful for: double-cleansing guarantees thorough cleaning without over-stripping.

●     To help minimize acne-prone and oily skin breakouts

●     Sensitive skin to avoid irritation from external stressors.

●     All skin types need to have a smooth base for next treatments.

How to Choose a Cleanser for Your Skin Type

While selecting a cleanser, take into consideration:

●     Texture: Oil, balm, gel, cream, or foam

●     pH balance: 5.0–6.0 for healthy skin

●     Formulation: Skip harsh sulfates for sensitive/dry skin

●     Functionality: Hydrating vs. deep-cleansing vs. acne-fighting

Using the incorrect one can leave skin greasy or stripped. Mirae's best skin care collection sorts cleansers to accommodate every skin type, so your double-cleansing process works better.

Tips for Double-Cleansing in Hard Water & Humid Climate

The following are the tips for double cleansing, which work most effectively for hot and humid weather conditions:

●     Use an oil or balm initially: Shields the skin from mineral deposit formation due to hard water.

●     Secondly, pH-balanced gel/foam: Keeps the skin barrier intact during high humidity.

●     Cool water rinse: Avoids over-sweating and irritation.

●     Pat dry but do not rub: Minimizes friction and redness.

Layering with Toners and Essences

●     Use toner right after washing to rebalance pH.

●     Light essence or moisturizing serum prior to moisturizer provides improved penetration.

●     Sensitive or acne-prone skin should avoid layering multiple actives at once.

●     In oily skin, gel-type toners/essences provide moisturizing without oiliness.
