As I was learning more natural skin care and talking with aestheticians about the best ways to take of our skin, I heard so much about double cleansing. Most dermatologists agree that we should cleanse our face at least once a day, but no more than twice per day. And if you do it only once, then you should do it at night. This is the best times since your skin accumulated all kinds of oil, dirt, and pollutants during the day, and you can now cleanse your pores.
Oh, I remember those days when I forgot about removing my makeup; I am so glad it was not a regular thing. Ladies, cleansing is essential for a beautiful skin.
Cleansing helps avoid breakouts, clogged pores. By clearing our pores, cleansers help the nourishing ingredients of our natural skin care products to penetrate the skin. Cleansing “…can help remove stubborn, pore-clogging and acne-causing impurities that can remain on the skin even after washing your face once,” says board-certified dermatologist David Lortscher, M.D. [source: Dermstore.com]
Many dermatologists tend to agree that double cleansing is better than just cleansing.

You want your cleansing balm to be made shea butter and sunflower, coconut or jojoba oils.
