A simple two-step method to thoroughly cleanse the skin while preserving essential moisture.
There’s something quietly restorative about cleansing the day away with one of skincare’s most comforting rituals: the double cleanse.
By pairing an oil-based cleanser with a gentle gel, you create a symphony of purification that leaves skin not just clean, but deeply nourished and harmoniously balanced.
The Beauty of the Double Cleanse
Your skin faces a daily onslaught of sunscreen, makeup, environmental pollutants, and the natural oils and impurities that accumulate throughout the day. A single cleanse simply isn't enough to lift away this invisible layer without stripping your skin's delicate moisture barrier.
The double cleanse works in two intentional stages. First, an oil-based cleanser dissolves oil-soluble impurities like makeup, SPF, and excess sebum. Then, a water-based gel cleanser sweeps away any remaining residue, along with sweat and water-based debris.
Together, they create a foundation for truly clean, receptive skin that's ready to absorb the nourishing serums and moisturisers that follow.
The beauty of this method lies in its gentleness. Rather than harsh scrubbing or stripping formulas, you're working with your skin's natural chemistry, supporting its ability to cleanse and reset itself, just as nature intended.
Who Benefits From the Two-Step Cleanse?
This ritual is particularly transformative for those experiencing congested pores, dullness, or sensitivity.
If you wear makeup or sunscreen daily, struggle with breakouts despite regular cleansing, or find your skin feels tight and irritated after washing, the double cleanse offers a reset.
It's especially nourishing for dry, sensitive, or maturing skin that needs extra care.
The oil cleansing step adds moisture rather than stripping it away, while the gentle gel provides thorough purification without disruption.
Even combination and oily skin types discover renewed balance, as proper oil cleansing actually helps regulate sebum production rather than triggering excess oil.
The Amisi 2-Step Ritual: Your Evening Reset
This evening ritual pairs two thoughtfully formulated cleansers, each designed to work in harmony with your skin's natural balance.
The Five Seeds Cleansing Oil and Makeup Remover draws on the nourishing power of cold-pressed seed oils to gently dissolve the day's buildup, while the Lemon Oatmeal Cleansing Gel uses organic aloe, oatmeal, and natural fruit enzymes to refresh and clarify.
Together, they create a complete cleansing experience that purifies without stripping.
Step 1: Purify with Five Seeds Cleansing Oil
Start with dry hands and a dry face
Dispense 2-3 pumps of Five Seeds Cleansing Oil and Makeup Remover into your palms and warm it between your hands
Gently massage the oil across your face in circular motions, dissolving makeup, sunscreen, and the day's accumulation
Massage for 30-60 seconds, allowing the oils to fully emulsify with impurities
The cold-pressed raspberry seed oil nourishes as it cleanses, while the harmonious blend of hemp seed, watermelon seed, jojoba, and castor oils work together to draw out impurities. Sweet orange, petitgrain, and neroli essential oils offer a moment of aromatherapeutic calm, transforming your cleanse into a self-care ritual.
Add a splash of warm water to your face and continue massaging
Watch as the oil transforms into a milky emulsion
Rinse thoroughly with warm water, using a soft cloth if desired
Step 2: Refresh with Lemon Oatmeal Cleansing Gel
Apply a small amount of Lemon Oatmeal Cleansing Gel to damp skin
Massage gently for 20-30 seconds in circular motions
Allow the gel's botanical ingredients to work their magic
Organic aloe and colloidal oatmeal calm and hydrate as they cleanse, making this step ideal even for sensitive skin.
The natural fruit enzymes from papaya and pineapple, along with white willow bark extract, gently dissolve dead skin cells without abrasion. Organic lemon and geranium essential oils refresh and tone, leaving your complexion feeling alive and balanced.
Rinse thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water
Pat dry with a clean towel
The Double Cleanse Face Ritual Complete
Your skin is now truly clean, purified without being stripped, balanced without disruption. This is the moment when your skin is most receptive to the nourishing serums and rich moisturisers that follow.
When you honour your skin with this level of attention and gentleness, it responds with clarity, calmness, and that enviable glow that comes from true skin health. The 2-step oil cleanse is simply nature's way, enhanced by the careful curation of botanical ingredients that have been revered for centuries.
