If you wear SPF or makeup (or both), one cleanse just isn’t enough. Sunscreen, long-wear formulas, and daily buildup cling to your skin, and a single wash leaves behind residue that can clog pores and dull your glow. That’s where double cleansing comes in—a method that gently but effectively clears away impurities while keeping your skin balanced and hydrated. Here’s how to do it right using the PMD Clean and PMD Skincare.
Step 1: Oil Cleanse
Start by applying a dime-sized amount of the Remove Makeup Removing Balm to dry skin. Warm the balm between your hands, then gently massage it in. This step melts away sunscreen, foundation, and even stubborn mascara without stripping your skin.
Step 2: Emulsify
Wet your PMD Clean and massage over your skin again for a luxurious emulsifying effect. This helps lift away every trace of oil and debris. Use a warm washcloth to remove the balm, then rinse your skin thoroughly. Leave your face damp to prep for the next step.
Step 3: Water Cleanse
Dispense the Cleanse Soothing Antioxidant Cleanser onto your PMD Clean and massage it into your skin. This second cleanse removes leftover dirt, oil, and buildup from deep within the pores, leaving your skin refreshed and ready to absorb active ingredients.
Step 4: Rinse + Pat Dry
Rinse your face clean, pat gently with a towel, and keep your skin slightly damp before moving on to your serum and moisturizer. For an added boost, use the PMD Clean Pro to enhance skincare absorption and lock in hydration.
The Takeaway
Double cleansing may take an extra minute, but the payoff is worth it—clearer pores, smoother skin, and a brighter complexion. By pairing the PMD Clean with nourishing formulas like the Remove Makeup Removing Balm and Cleanse Soothing Antioxidant Cleanser, you’ll elevate your cleansing routine into a spa-like ritual that delivers professional-level results right at home.
