00:00Hi friends, my name is Mel and this is Routine Reversals.
00:04So this episode is all about double cleansing.
00:07Today I am swapping routines with my friend Tatiana from Refinery29.
00:12Hi guys, I'm Tatiana Diaz.
00:14I'm a beauty writer at Refinery29 and my skincare routine is all about double cleansing.
00:19Double cleansing is a Korean method of skincare that is focused on clear skin.
00:23And it's exactly as it sounds.
00:25You're going in there twice or double and the routine usually involves two steps.
00:29The first is an oil-based cleanser and then you're going in with a water-based cleanser.
00:33With the first cleanser, I'm washing off all the makeup and then with the second cleanser,
00:37now that I have this clean base, I'm targeting my skincare concerns like acne and oily skin.
00:43It's like a security blanket to make sure you've washed everything off.
00:46Plus it helps that it's like a little self-care session.
00:49Good luck, Mel. You got this.
00:52I personally feel like, yes, I do double cleanse,
00:54but I don't know if I use an oil and water-based combination.
00:58Today, we are going to try something a little crazy.
01:01We are not only going to double cleanse, we are going to triple cleanse.
01:06First, we're going to use an oil-based cleanser.
01:09Then we're going to use a water-based cleanser and then we're going to use an exfoliator.
01:13So I've used each of these products and they're great on their own,
01:17but I've never used all three together.
01:23Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser is kind of like the OG cleanser.
01:26It's kind of always been on my counter.
01:29It's kind of my staple, my go-to,
01:31and I just know that it's going to take everything off that I need it to.
01:34This is an oil-based cleanser, so it's really great as a first step.
01:38It is creamy, it feels really moisturizing,
01:42and it just feels like it's one of those cleansers
01:44that's going to melt all the dirt and all the makeup and everything off your face.
01:50Step two is simple, kind-to-skin micellar water.
01:54Not to be mistaken with micellar water,
01:57which is basically how I've been saying it my entire life.
02:00And this is a water-based formula,
02:02and I just love how refreshing it is.
02:05It takes away all of the bad oils and just leaves your skin feeling light, refreshed, and clean.
02:14And for step number three, the last step in this triple cleansing routine,
02:19is the St. Ives Energizing Coconut and Coffee Scrub.
02:23I am probably the most stoked about this product.
02:27I've never tried it before, but it's an exfoliator,
02:30so it's going to get all of that dead skin off my skin, which I'm really excited about.
02:35So, a couple things about this scrub.
02:38First, it smells like coffee, so it is so energizing,
02:42so great for the morning time when you're picking up and ready to go.
02:46Second, the exfoliating factor of it is actually made with 100% naturally sourced exfoliants,
02:53which is also bomb.com.
03:00But, with that, I hope you guys have an inspiring day.
03:03Remember that kindness doesn't cost a thing.
03:05And I'll talk to you guys next time.
03:07Bye!
