Many women have turned to oil cleansing as a way to gently remove makeup, soothe sensitive skin, and tame unrelenting breakouts. Using oils instead of traditional soap or detergent cleansers can also help protect the natural lipid layer of the skin and the good bacteria that live there.

What is the purpose of cleansing oil?

Cleansing oils are a type of multi-purpose face wash that simultaneously cleanse the skin, hydrate the complexion, and remove makeup. And if you're not using one in your nighttime skincare routine yet, you should be.

Should I use an oil cleanser?

Absolutely. Even if you don't wear makeup, you need an oil cleanser to melt away sebum, SPF, and pollutants. Water-based cleansers cannot properly remove these impurities, so make sure to use an oil cleanser to start off your routine!
