about Oil cleansers.

If sunscreen is part of your day, a cleansing oil is the surest way to take it off at night. Oil lifts what water on its own only moves around: SPF, long-wear makeup, the sebum sitting in pores. The Ma:nyo Pure Cleansing Oil melts makeup and pore build-up, then turns milky and rinses clean. The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil takes makeup off while staying gentle around the eyes, and the Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil keeps to nine ingredients and leaves skin moisturized, never greasy.

How your skin feels after washing tells you which to buy. If it turns shiny by noon, go for a lighter, fresher oil or a BHA pore oil; if it feels tight, a richer plant-oil blend; if it reacts easily, the shortest list you can find. Oil first on a dry face, a water-based cleanser second, then the rest of your routine.

questions, answered.

Do I need a cleansing oil if I only wear sunscreen?

Not always, but it is the surest way to take it off. Sunscreen is made to stay put through sweat and water, and an oil dissolves it in about a minute, along with the day's sebum, before your second cleanser. Some foam and gel cleansers are made to remove sunscreen on their own, so if yours says it does, one wash can be enough. On a bare-faced day with no SPF, a water-based cleanser does the job by itself.

How do I use a cleansing oil properly?

Dry hands, dry face. Massage the oil in for about a minute so it can dissolve makeup and sunscreen, paying attention to the nose and chin. Then add a splash of water and keep massaging until it turns milky, which is the step that stops it leaving a film. Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with a gel or foam cleanser.

Which Korean cleansing oil is best for oily skin and blackheads?

The Hanskin BHA Pore Cleansing Oil is made for oily and combination skin, lightly exfoliating to help clear blackheads. If oils usually feel too heavy, the numbuzin No.1 Easy Peasy Cleansing Oil is light, melts makeup and blackheads and rinses without a greasy residue. For oily skin that is also sensitive, the Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil leaves skin less oily with continued use.
