Pre-Gleanse Cleansing Oil.

"What makes Prequel Pre-Gleanse Cleansing Oil so special is that it also utilizes glycerin which I love and sorbital derived surfactants that instantly emulsify so you get this very clean rinse with no film left behind but your skin still feels really soft afterward. I've gone in with Prequel and then almost forgotten to go in with my second cleansing step because my skin feels so perfectly cleansed and nourished. Prequel has such a lightweight oil texture like when I feel it on the skin it's light but it still feels plushy and what I really like about this is when I'm massaging it into my skin it still has this beautiful slip. Sometimes people rush through the cleansing process but this really allows you to kind of pause and be a little bit more ritualistic because you want to massage this into your skin it feels that good. I start with dry hands and then I take about three pumps or so I distribute it on my palms and then I start massaging it into my face including around my eyes where I might have any eye makeup I do that for about 30 seconds until I can see that my makeup has been thoroughly broken down and then I add just the tiniest bit of water to emulsify the cleanser at that point it transforms from clear to kind of milky and then you go in and rinse it off completely. Oil cleansers are also such a beautiful way to break down sunscreen not only on the face but also on the body."

"I'm pretty consistent with how I double cleanse. I will either use my Prequel Pre-Cleanse Cleansing Oil and then go in with the Prequel cleanser, or I will use my Biderma micellar water on a cotton pad. The beauty of a double cleanse like this is that all the steps, all of the products you're using are super gentle so you're not stripping your skin even though you're cleansing twice and very thoroughly. This is particularly helpful if you struggle with things like clogged pores or you don't feel like your products are absorbing that well at night, because sometimes that's because there's leftover gunk on your face that's not getting appropriately cleaned off. When you go in with the double cleanse, you are really prepping your skin for anything else you're putting on after."
