Why should you use oil cleanser and how to choose the right cleanser?

The double cleanser is the basis of the Korean skin care routine and allows you to prepare the skin in the best way for subsequent products by getting rid of both oil-based and water-based dirt properly!

Today we will talk about the first step in the double cleaning, namely the oil-based laundry! We will explain why you use it and how to find the right one among our various oil cleaners. We have also just launched the exciting new Freshly Gentle Black Fresh Oil from Klairs which we will present a little extra!

What is oil cleansing and why is it important in the skin care routine?
It is easy to believe that oil cleanser has only been used to remove makeup, and that oil cleanser makes the skin oily and only suits dry skin. But the truth is that oil-based washes are very suitable for all skin types! It effectively removes grease, dirt, sunscreen and oil-based make-up without drying out, removing the skin's protective acid protective coat or making the skin oily.

An oil cleanser dissolves the bad oils that have accumulated on your skin during the day (for example from makeup and dirt), this is something that a water-based cleanser can not remove. It is often said that "equal dissolves corpse" and "fat dissolves fat", and by this is meant that the fat in the oil cleanser dissolves the fat that is in the make-up and in other dirt that has accumulated on the skin. Cleansing oil also works well for washing off waterproof makeup that can otherwise be difficult to get rid of.

But in other words, an oil-based cleanser is optimal even for a skin that is oily as it dissolves the extra fat that is in the skin and helps to dissolve clogged pores, this completely without drying out and upsetting the moisture balance.

We recommend that you use an oil cleaner all year round, but it is extra important now during the summer when we sweat a lot, move around a lot and use more sunscreen. The pores can easily become clogged when it is hot, so if you want to balance sebum production and get rid of pores without irritating the skin during the summer months, double cleansing is important!

 

How does an oil cleaner work?
Oil cleanser is applied to dry skin by massaging in. The oil then sinks into the pores and surrounds dirt, sebum and make-up that you have sampled during the day or night. After massaging the oil for a while, add some water and massage your skin again. During this process, the dirt is drawn up to the skin surface together with the oil. The oil is also emulsified during this process (milky in consistency) and the dirt is then dissolved. When you rinse off the oil cleanser, the skin feels soft and moisturized, and not oily as you might think! We then recommend that you follow up with a water-based cleaning to get rid of water-based dirt.

Tip! If you have a lot of pores, a great tip is to do a mild exfoliation by mixing in a grain peel in the oil cleanser. For example, our oil cleansers are perfect to use together with Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish from Klairs for an extra thorough cleaning. Mix in the palm of your hand before application!
