Summer’s heat, sweat and excess oil can trap impurities on the skin, prompting the rise of double cleansing—a two‑step routine that starts with an oil‑based cleanser to dissolve sebum and SPF, followed by a gentle water‑based wash to remove sweat and residue. Dermatologists note that while the method can help those with oily or congested skin, it isn’t mandatory for everyone; choosing lightweight oils or balms and a suitable face wash tailored to skin type is more important than the number of steps. The key takeaway is to listen to your skin’s needs rather than following trend in haste.
