Cleansing oils and cleansing balms are the first and most essential step of the Korean double cleansing routine. This step is designed to remove oil-based impurities such as makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and environmental pollutants that cannot be fully cleansed with water alone.
Using a cleansing oil as the first step helps prepare the skin for a water-based cleanser, improving overall cleansing efficiency while maintaining the skin’s natural balance. Korean cleansing oils and balms are formulated to emulsify easily, leaving the skin clean, soft, and comfortable without a greasy residue.
This step is suitable for all skin types and is especially important for anyone who wears makeup, applies SPF daily, or lives in an urban environment.
