Double Cleansing - The secret to happy and healthy skin

  • Anat Edwy

What Is Double Cleansing?
Double cleansing is a simple two-step skincare routine that thoroughly cleanses your skin, leaving it feeling fresh, radiant, and balanced.

 

Step 1: Micellar Water
Start by cleansing your face with Micellar Water. This step helps lift away the day’s buildup, such as sweat, makeup, excess oil, environmental dirt, and bacteria, which can clog pores and cause blackheads, breakouts, and dull skin.

 

Step 2: Konjac Sponge & Water
Follow up with a gentle exfoliation using only water and a Konjac Sponge. This soft, plant-based sponge helps remove dead skin cells and any remaining impurities, preparing your skin to absorb your serums, oils, and moisturisers more effectively.

 

What Is Micellar Water?

Micellar Water is a multitasking skincare essential that cleanses, tones, hydrates, and balances the skin—all without harsh ingredients.
It contains micelles—tiny cleansing molecules suspended in soft water—that attract dirt and oil like magnets. They gently lift impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils. That means no stinging, no tightness—just clean, refreshed skin.
Unlike many cleansers, Micellar Water is soap-free and alcohol-free, making it ideal even for the most sensitive skin.

At It's All Good, we offer two types of Micellar Water:

1. Unscented, formulated for extremely sensitive skin, those with salicylate sensitivity or allergy, and anyone following a low-oxalate lifestyle.

2. Micellar water with Geranium Bourbon Essential Oil, ideal for all other skin types. This beautifully scented Micellar Water contains Geranium Bourbon, which helps balance oil production, promotes cell regeneration, and supports anti-ageing. It’s also said to aid in scar healing, boost immunity, and ease stress.

Why Choose a Konjac Sponge?

Made from the root of the Konjac plant, these sponges are gentle yet effective. Using just water, they provide mild exfoliation suitable for even the most sensitive skin. This step helps improve your skin’s smoothness and glow—no need for harsh scrubs. We offer two types of Konjac sponges:

1. Charcoal-infused Konjac sponge - perfect for all skin types, especially those with acne-prone skin.

2. PURE Konjac Sponge - Perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive and delicate skin, or those with salicylate sensitivity or those following a Low-Ox lifestyle.
 

Who Can Benefit from Double Cleansing?

Everyone. Whether your skin is oily, dry, sensitive, or a combination of skin, this method is beneficial for everyone's skin. Let’s break down why.

 

The Skin Barrier & What Your Skin Needs

Your skin’s outermost layer, the epidermis, is your first line of defence. Think of it as roof shingles held together by your natural oils. These oils help keep skin cells flat, smooth, and in place, which is critical for hydration and protection.

Several factors influence your skin barrier, including diet, hormones, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Some are in your control; others aren’t.

To help your skin stay resilient:

  • Drink plenty of water
  • Eat healthy fats
  • Apply topical hydration (like oils and moisturisers)
  • Gently exfoliate every day—even if your skin is dry or sensitive

This consistent care keeps your skin strong, supple, and better protected against premature ageing or imbalance.

 

How Double Cleansing Supports Different Skin Types

Problem skin - Oily & Acne-Prone Skin
Gentle double cleansing removes pore-clogging buildup without over-drying. When using micellar water with Geranium, the Geranium Bourbon essential oil helps regulate oil production, while the Charcoal-infused Konjac sponge prevents blackheads and breakouts by removing dead skin and debris.

 

Dry & Sensitive Skin
Harsh cleansers often worsen dryness and sensitivity. This two-step method is much gentler: Micellar Water hydrates and soothes while cleansing, and the PURE Konjac Sponge softly exfoliates without irritation, helping your skin absorb nourishing products more effectively.

 

Regular skin type

If you have a normal skin type — neither excessively dry, oily, nor sensitive — you can pick any micellar water you prefer, and the same goes for the type of konjac sponge.
Even regular, healthy skin needs gentle care to maintain the skin barrier's health.

 

When Should You Double Cleanse?

The best time is in the evening, after your day is done. Whether you’ve been outdoors, wearing makeup, or just exposed to everyday pollutants, your skin will benefit from a clean slate before bed. Double cleansing helps you wind down your day with skin that’s clean, balanced, and ready to repair overnight.

 

Try it—and feel the difference.
Clean skin, glowing skin, happy skin.
