Why Korean cleansing oils suit oily skin, and how to double cleanse.
01 / 06
Sebum, waterproof sunscreen and long-wear makeup are oily. An oil loosens them in seconds where foam alone struggles.
02 / 06
A light cleansing oil suits oily skin if it emulsifies (turns milky) with water and rinses off fully.
03 / 06
Use 2 to 3 pumps on dry skin for 60 to 90 seconds, then add a little water until it turns milky.
04 / 06
Finish with a gentle, low-pH water-based cleanser so no oily film is left behind.
05 / 06
Double cleanse after sunscreen or makeup. In the morning, one gentle cleanse is enough.
06 / 06
Kitchen oils have no emulsifiers and stay on the skin. Patch test any new cleansing oil for three or four days.
