So you’ve heard about double cleansing. Essential for clean skin of any skin type.
Double Cleansing has been the norm in South Korea for ages now and it’s a trend that is definitely picking up in the west. OxygenCeuticals knows the exact best way to double cleanse your skin according to your skin type!

What is Double Cleansing?
Double Cleansing is pretty simple. You cleanse your face twice.
But it isn’t a copy and paste routine for everyone.
“I define double cleansing as using two separate types of cleansers to wash your face,”
The first step of any double cleansing routine involves an oil-based cleanser. Since most makeup, like foudation or concealer, is lipophilic (that is, dissolvable in oil), an oil-based cleanser can effectively remove it from deep within the pores.
The second step is to clean out any leftover dirt, grime, and residue on the skin. This is where you’ll use a foaming cleanser suitable to your skin type. The friction caused by bubbles in a foaming cleanser will work out any of the extra dirt on the top layer of your skin while also removing any possible residue from your first oil cleanser.
Let’s take a closer look at the oil cleansing step.
Step 1: Oil Cleanse

Using the right products for our first step cleansing is essential. The key to a good oil cleanser is to be gentle and effective. It shouldn’t strip away our skin’s natural oil balance as this can result in devastating effects on our skin like dryness or blemishes.
Oxygen Ceuticals has two first step cleansers that do just the trick.
The Double Makeup Remover is an ultra-effective, super gentle oil cleanser that removes makeup, SPF, and sebum from the skin without causing overdryness or irritaiton.
Formulated with soybean oil and macadamia seed oil, this cleanser dissolves hard-to-reach sebum and oils deep within the skin. It is capable of removing all types of makeups and impurities from face and eyes without leaving behind an oily residue.
The formula also contains:
Dendropanax Morbiferus Extract: Enhances skin elasticity and brightens skin tone
For those wary of oil cleansers, we have another option.
The Gentle Facial Cleansing Lotion is rich, creamy cleanser formulated with Safflower Seed Oil to purify the skin of any sebum, spf, or light makeup. This is a perfect alternative to those with oily skin who worry about strong, oily cleansers or those with dryer skin worried about stripping oils from the face.
The Gentle Facial Cleansing Lotion contains loads of Hyaluronic Acid to help maintain your skin’s healthy moisture levels while Arginine works to soothe the skin. This cleanser removes impurities from the skin and is ideal to use as makeup remover for sensitive, reactive, or post-procedure skin.
Arginine: delivers antioxidant benefits and plays a role in repairing visible skin damage
Terrific product! This facial wash literally drew all the impurities out of skin. Its delicate and gives the skin a nice feel, especially in the winter months when its particularly dry.
Just because it’s step two doesn’t make it less important. Your choice of foam cleanser can easily make or break a good cleansing routine.
A foam cleanser with harsh actives like Benzoyl Peroxide can irritate the skin more than anything and a foam cleanser without enough strength will leave behind residue that can cause blemishes.
Luckily, OxygenCeuticals has two foaming cleansers that can be used depending on your skin type!
The Pore Mask is a favorite among regular OxygenCeuticals customers, professional and personal alike. This amazingly rich, oxygen-infused bubbly cleanser is famous for its whipped-cream like texture and powerful cleansing ability.
The formula contains Stearic Acid. This is a a natural fatty acid that effectively absorbs and removes impurities from the skin, keeping it soft and smooth. This cleanser can also effectively remove makeup and impurities without irritation.
It also contains:
Lavender Oil: controls sebum production and has natural antibacterial effects
Purslane Extract (Portulaca Oleracea Extract): has antibacterial effects and helps soothe inflammation
Allantoin: helps to shed dead skin cells and keep the skin smooth
Another great favorite. The Purifying Foaming Wash is especially the favorite of anyone with oily and acne-prone skin.
This cleanser is designed to cleanse the skin without disrupting the skin’s natural pH balance. With a pH of 5.0, this cleanser keeps the skin at its optimal pH level thereby enhancing the skin’s defense layer and preventing blemishes and sebum overproduction.
The Purifying Foaming Wash is also gentle enough to be used on ultra-sensitive skin, even skin that has just undergone a dermatological procedure like microneedling or chemical peeling. The non-stripping formula lifts away dead skin cells and removes impurities, while toning and smoothing the skin.
The formula contains:
Dimethyl Sulfone: soothes inflammation
Rehmannia Glutinosa Extracts: enhances the skin’s defense layer
Everything seems easier when someone else does the work for you. Sometimes getting together a skincare routine of your own can be frustrating. What kind of products go with what? Does this toner work well with that serum? That cream?
I think that’s why we love skincare kits so much. It saves us the hassle and stress of worrying whether the products will gel the right way together or not.
Luckily, OxygenCeuticals has a very extensive range of skincare kits to choose from. Whether you need a travel-sized kit to take with you on your trips or just want to dip your toe into a product before purchasing the full size, our skincare kits are just the thing for you!
Someone famous once said, “Take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” And he was right. It’s not just the skin on our face that needs care. The skin of our arms, our backs, our legs, our hands, is all the same organ.
We need the same quality of skincare for our body as we do our face. Luckily, OxygenCeuticals offers a few great mask and body products! Let’s take a look!
Ah, the sun. It warms us, it gives light, and nourishes our bodies with Vitamin D. Overall, I’d give the sun a good review, but…it does have its flaws. Sun damage on the skin can lead to some not-so-good consequences. Some minor, like fine lines or freckles, but also some really serious ones, like skin cancer.
Keeping our skin protected from UVA and UVB rays is absolutely vital, not only for skincare, but for your skin’s health! And while OxygenCeuticals promotes beautiful, smooth skin, we prioritize healthy skin first!
With your skin’s health in mind, OxygenCeuticals has created a range of amazing, oxygen-infused sun care products to keep your skin looking great and youthful!
Since humans have begun grooming themselves, they’ve sought different ways to keep their skin hydrated and moisturized. Ancient Egyptians used milk and honey to keep their complexions soft. The women of the Qing Dynasty made a concoction of honey, almond oil, and warm water as a DIY face cream.
So, some might say that creams are at the very core of skincare. Now, creams can do so much more than moisturize. Some can brighten or soothe. Others can treat acne or prevent signs of aging!
Let’s take a look at all of the creams OxygenCeuticals offers to you!
