Tip 1 : Double Cleansing

Have you heard this term – Double cleansing ? Many Koreans do this. Double cleansing includes cleaning your face twice. In the first time oil based cleanser is used and after that foam based cleanser is used.

Koreans believes using a natural oil for cleaning helps to deeply clean your skin without making it dry. If you use makeup and want to remove it, oil based cleanser will remove it easily without harming your skin.

Though oil based cleanser removes makeup, dead skin cells and dirt gently but not every type of oil suits every skin. So it is best to try and test which oil will suit your skin. Below I am sharing a simple cleansing oil recipe for a combination skin :

Ingredients :

• Sweet almond oil – 1 tablespoon
• Grapeseed oil – 1 tablespoon
• Tea tree essential oil – 4 drops

How To Make and Use :

• In a jar add all the above mentioned oils
