Pump, massage, emulsify and rinse
Choose according to your skin concerns and preferred ingredients, then focus on technique: begin with dry hands and skin, massage lightly, emulsify thoroughly and rinse without over-cleansing.
Dispense cleansing oil into dry hands and spread it over a dry face unless the directions state otherwise. Massage lightly over makeup, sunscreen and congested areas without scrubbing.
Add small amounts of water and continue massaging as the oil turns milky. This helps suspended makeup, sunscreen and oil-soluble residue rinse away more completely.
Rinse thoroughly and follow with a gentle water-based cleanser when your routine needs a double cleanse. Stop if the skin feels persistently tight, stings or becomes irritated.
Helpful answers
Practical guidance for makeup, sunscreen, pores, sebum, emulsifying, skin types and double cleansing.
A cleansing oil is an oil-based first cleanser that dissolves makeup, sunscreen and oil-soluble residue. After massage, water is added so the formula emulsifies into a milky texture and rinses away.
Many cleansing oils can loosen waterproof and long-wear makeup. Use enough product, allow gentle massage time and emulsify fully. Very stubborn mascara may benefit from a targeted eye remover first.
Cleansing oil can remove sunscreen, makeup and oil-soluble buildup that may make pores look more congested. It does not permanently change pore size. Massage gently and avoid prolonged rubbing or squeezing.
Most cleansing oils are first massaged over dry skin with dry hands, then emulsified with water. Check the directions for your chosen product because application guidance can differ.
Adding water turns the oil milky so dissolved makeup, sunscreen and excess sebum can rinse away more cleanly. Continue adding small amounts of water until the texture changes, then rinse thoroughly.
A gentle water-based cleanser can follow when you wear makeup, sunscreen or prefer double cleansing. Avoid over-cleansing and choose a second cleanser that leaves your skin comfortable rather than tight.
Yes. Cleansing oil can dissolve makeup, sunscreen and oil-soluble residue when it emulsifies and rinses properly. Choose a formula labelled for your skin type and rinse thoroughly.
Close or lock the pump when possible and store the bottle away from direct sunlight and high heat. Keep water from entering the container and follow the product’s storage instructions.
