Cleanser
There are two types of cleansers - oil based and water based cleaners. Together they form the double cleanse method. An oil cleanser is the first cleanse, which helps remove waterproof makeup, products and unclogs pores. A water-based cleanser then helps remove sweat, dirt and any product residue.
HOW TO USE:
First use an oil cleanser on dry skin
Second use a water based cleanser
Massage each one gently and wash off with lukewarm water
