– If you’ve ever wished you could just wash your face and go to sleep, well, you’re in luck: There’s a new way to do it, and it’s called double cleansing. “Double cleansing is the method of cleansing the skin twice,” Dr. Lamees Hamdan, founder of the skincare brand Shiffa, tells Insider. “It ensures a radiant complexion, so that while you sleep your skin is able to effectively regenerate.” The trick is getting rid of all the makeup you’ve put on your face before you wash it, she says. If you’ve already used a cleansing balm, for example, you’ll want to start with a more water-based cleanser, and if that seems a little too much for your skin, Hamdan says you can use the same cleanser twice. The most important thing, she says, is that you’re “not using harsh cleansing products.” If you’ve never tried it before, it’s probably worth a try.
