Double Cleanse = Instant Glow

We have all been there…you wash your face thoroughly yet you still find makeup on your skin. Or your power-packed face oils, serums and creams just are not working for achieving the glowing complexion you desire.

If you can relate, you're not alone. Many individuals face similar challenges.

Why?

Because one wash just is not enough.

The truth is, one wash simply isn't enough to cleanse your skin effectively. Throughout the day, your skin is exposed to environmental pollutants, makeup, and impurities that can deeply embed themselves into your pores. Even if you diligently remove your makeup at night, traces can still remain, preventing your skincare products from working optimally.

That's where a comprehensive cleansing routine comes in. By incorporating multiple cleansing steps into your beauty regimen, you can ensure that your skin is truly clean and primed to receive the full benefits of your skincare products.

If you wear make-up daily or live in an area with pollution or sweat from a daily work-out or have any other reason for build-up on your skin, you need to cleanse your face deeply.

Enter the Double Cleanse.

Double Cleansing is exactly what it sounds like – washing your face twice in a row with two different cleansers, or even the same cleanser used twice. The first cleanse is to gently dissolve makeup, debris, and impurities. The second wash is to sweep them all away and purify pores.

Double cleansing prepares your face to receive all the amazing goodness in your face oils, cremes, and serums so that you get the most bang for your buck.

Can I just wash my face twice with any old cleanser?

No. It’s not that simple. Pairing the wrong cleansers can result in drying or even damaging your skin's mantle as some cleansers and make-up wipes can be very harsh. 

Make sure you have products paired specifically for double cleansing. For the right results pair an oil based cleanser with a cleanser that works for your skin type. At 7 Day Glow we recommend pairing CLARIFY Hydrating Cleanser with RECLAIM Radiance Nourishing Cleanser. 

Choose the Protocol that works best for you.

1. Pump a few drops of oil-based CLARIFY Hydrating Cleanser onto fingertips.
2. Massage onto DRY skin. Massage gently, paying special attention to problem areas, large pores, and where any build-up may occur. This step works to dissolve impurities and makeup. DO NOT RINSE OFF.
3. Pump RECLAIM Radiance Cleanser onto fingertips. Rub hands together to activate RECLAIM, it will turn creamy white in color.
4. Layer cleanser over your face. DO NOT rinse off CLARIFY Cleanser before applying RECLAIM Cleanser! You are combining them.
5. Wet your fingertips and massage a few moments more, combining the two cleansers. Massage just until you are sure you’ve dissolved any makeup, sunscreen, and impurities.
6. Wipe away with a warm wet washcloth.
7. Follow with your regular regimen of face oil, serum, and moisturizer.

1. Pump a few drops of oil-based CLARIFY Hydrating Cleanser onto fingertips.
2. Massage onto DRY skin. Massage gently, paying special attention to problem areas, large pores, and where any build-up may occur. Pre-cleansing will work to dissolve impurities and make-up.
3. Rinse well with warm water or wipe away with a warm wet washcloth.
4. Pump a RECLAIM Radiance Cleanser onto fingertips. Rub hands together to activate RECLAIM Radiance Cleanser, it will turn creamy white in color.
5. Apply RECLAIM Cleanser over your face. 
6. Wet your fingertips and massage a few moments more, creating a micro-foam, just until you are sure you’ve dissolved any make-up, sunscreen, and impurities.
7. Wipe away with a warm wet washcloth.
8. Follow with your regular regimen of face oil, serum, and moisturizer.

1. Apply oil-based CLARIFY Hydrating Cleanser to eye area using a 100% cotton pad (avoid synthetic pads as they can cause break-outs). Work gently, sweeping from the outer area of eye inward to avoid pulling on the tender eye area.
2. Rinse well or wipe away with warm wet washcloth.
3. Follow a second time with CLARIFY Hydrating Cleanser or RECLAIM Radiance Cleanser if you find more cleansing is needed to remove stubborn eye makeup.
