An oil-to-milk cleanser starts out as an oil and then emulsifies into milk upon contact with water. The oil component helps dissolve dirt, makeup and other impurities while the creamy consistency of the milky texture provides a gentle and refreshing cleanse. An oil-to-milk cleanser can be used alone or as the first step in a Double Cleanser routine.

The Double Cleansing method involves washing your face twice, with two different types of cleansers. The first step is an oil-based cleanser, like our Milky Oil Cleanser + Makeup Melter, to help dissolve impurities, like makeup, oil, sunscreen and excess sebum. The second cleanse requires a water-based cleanser (our favorite is our Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash) to whisk away any remaining residue and impurities for skin that’s purified and refreshed.
