You may not think it is a good idea to slather some cleansing oil on oily or acne-prone skin. But it has its own advantages. The method of double cleansing, the basic habit derived from the Korean skincare regime, has taken center stage in mainstream practice.

Oil is known to dissolve oil, which is suitable to be used as a cleanser. By combining an oil base with a traditional skin-care surfactant, cleansing oils can bind dirt on the skin and remove it without damaging the skin barrier. To make it work to maximum efficiency, use the cleansing oil on dry skin which helps break down even waterproof makeup, sunscreen and dirt before rinsing off with lukewarm water and patting dry with a light muslin cloth.
Cleansing oil is one of the gentlest products to remove every last trace of waterproof foundation and mascara. When compared with the traditional makeup-removing wipe or even micellar water, this product feels more relaxing and caring on the skin. No tugging is required. In fact, you can also enjoy a good facial massage at the end of an exhausting day.
Here are a few of the best cleansing oils available in the market for you to try.

This brand is known for its beloved cocoa butter, which they have not forgotten to include in this cleanser too. It also contains sesame oil and rosehip oil to promote healthy skin on a budget. It also offers an added bonus of skin-brightening vitamin C.
Avène XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cleansing Oil
This cleansing oil will leave your skin feeling restored and soft. The glycerin and omega-6 fatty work together to promote the formation of a healthy barrier on the skin, to protect itself from the long-wearing day of sunscreen and makeup.
