The Biome Cleansing Facial Ritual

Double cleansing is more than just a trend—it’s a powerful approach to keeping your skin fresh, clean, and balanced. This two-step method begins with an oil-based cleanser to break down stubborn makeup and impurities, followed by a water-based cleanser to thoroughly cleanse the skin’s surface. The key benefit of double cleansing lies in its ability to protect and support your skin’s microbiome. By using gentle yet effective cleansing agents, this method removes harmful buildup while preserving the skin’s natural, protective bacteria. This balance is essential for a strong skin barrier, reducing inflammation and keeping your complexion healthy and glowing.

Cleansing is the foundation of healthy skin, but not all cleansers support the skin barrier. The Biome Facial Cleansing Ritual is designed to remove buildup while keeping skin balanced, hydrated, and resilient.

Step One: First Cleanse – Cleansing Oil

Purpose: To remove oil-based impurities such as SPF, makeup, and excess sebum without disrupting the skin’s natural barrier.

How to do it:

  1. Begin with dry hands and dry skin.
  2. Dispense 3-4 pumps of the Cleansing Oil into your palms.
  3. Warm the oil between your hands.
  4. Gently massage the oil into your skin using circular motions for at least 30-60 seconds. Focus on areas with makeup, SPF, or congestion (nose, chin, forehead).
  5. Wet your hands slightly and continue massaging to emulsify the oil.
  6. Rinse thoroughly with warm water or remove with a soft, damp cloth.

Step Two: Second Cleanse – Cleansing Gel Mask

Purpose: To deeply cleanse the skin, removing any leftover impurities while hydrating and supporting the skin barrier.

How to do it:

  1. Apply a 10p-sized amount of the Cleansing Gel Mask to damp skin.
  2. Massage gently for about 30 seconds, allowing the cooling gel to cleanse and refresh.
  3. For an added skin boost, leave it on for 1-2 minutes before rinsing.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a clean towel.

What’s Next?

To maximise results, follow up with Plant Water Toner to rebalance your skin, then apply the Repair Serum and Repair Cream to lock in moisture and support skin barrier recovery.

For best results, double cleanse in the evening to remove the day’s impurities, and in the morning, a single cleanse with the Cleansing Gel Mask is usually enough to refresh the skin if needed.
