If you wear sunscreen (you should) or makeup, a normal face wash cannot fully remove it. A cleansing oil is the first step of "double cleansing": the oil dissolves sunscreen, makeup and hardened sebum, then your regular face wash cleans the rest. Done right, it actually helps oily/acne-prone skin by clearing clogged pores.

How to double cleanse (the right way)
- On dry hands and face, massage cleansing oil for 30–60 seconds to melt sunscreen/makeup.
- Add a little water to emulsify (it turns milky), then rinse.
- Follow with your normal face wash.
Do this at night especially. In the morning a normal cleanser is usually enough.
Will oil cleansing cause acne?
No — a well-formulated, non-comedogenic cleansing oil rinses off completely and helps *prevent* clogged pores by removing sunscreen and sebom that a face wash leaves behind. The key is rinsing fully and choosing a light, pore-friendly formula.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy genuine cleansing oil in Bangladesh?
Buy from a seller who can show the importer invoice and batch number for the product instead of choosing based on price alone. Checking the batch code matters since cleansing oils are a widely copied category.
How do I check if a cleansing oil bottle is genuine?
Check that the pump or cap seal wasn't broken, confirm the batch code on the bottle matches the box, and be cautious if the oil's color or smell seems off compared to what it should be. You can also run it through the free checker at theskinproof.com/product-checker.
Will cleansing oil make dry or sensitive skin feel more dry?
A well-formulated cleansing oil shouldn't strip dry skin, since it dissolves makeup and sunscreen rather than pulling out natural oil. Following up with a gentle, hydrating face wash as the second cleansing step helps skin feel less tight afterward.
