Facial cleansing with a foaming cleanser as part of a medical skincare routine (Double Cleansing Part 1)

Facial cleansing is the foundation of every successful skincare routine. No matter how high-quality your skincare products are—without thorough and effective cleansing with a foaming cleanser, both in the morning and in the evening, they cannot fully unfold their benefits. One of the most popular and highly effective methods of facial cleansing is the so-called double cleansing. In this process, the skin is cleansed in two steps: First, a foaming cleanser is used to remove coarse impurities. In the second step, a facial tonic is applied to eliminate any remaining residues and restore the skin’s natural pH level.

But let’s first focus on the foaming cleanser: In the morning, it removes excess sebum, sweat, and dead skin cells that have accumulated overnight. This provides a fresh, clear skin feeling and perfectly prepares the skin for the following toning step, serums, sun protection, and makeup.

Why should I cleanse my face with a foaming cleanser in the evening as well?

Throughout the day, your skin is exposed to numerous environmental stressors: dirt, fine dust, bacteria, and makeup residues accumulate on the surface of your skin and can clog pores. These impurities form a barrier that prevents active ingredients from penetrating the skin. Inadequate facial cleansing can therefore not only lead to a dull, tired complexion, but also to blemishes, irritation, and premature skin aging.

It is important that the chosen foaming cleanser matches your skin type and contains no harsh ingredients that could dry out the skin. DOC.BERGER | EFFECT offers two different foaming cleansers: Foam Intense and Foam Sensitive. Their specialized formulas reliably remove dirt and impurities while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture barrier, making them ideal for daily use.

Lightly moisten your face beforehand, then distribute the foaming cleanser evenly over the entire face and massage it into the skin using circular motions. This promotes blood circulation and helps the active ingredients reach the pores. After about 15–30 seconds, rinse off the foam thoroughly with lukewarm water. In this way, your cleansed skin can regenerate optimally, feels noticeably smoother, and absorbs the active ingredients in serums and creams more effectively.
