Korean oil based cleansers in Cyprus

Oil based cleansers are the first step of the Korean double cleansing routine. They help dissolve sunscreen, makeup, excess sebum and oil-based impurities before using a water based cleanser.

At Just Cosmetics, you can shop authentic Korean oil based cleansers in Cyprus, including cleansing oils and cleansing balms for daily evening cleansing and makeup removal.

What is an oil based cleanser?

An oil based cleanser is a cleansing oil or cleansing balm used on dry skin to break down SPF, makeup and sebum. After massaging, water is added to emulsify the cleanser so it rinses away easily without leaving heavy residue.

Korean oil cleansers are popular because they cleanse effectively while keeping the skin comfortable, soft and less stripped than harsh makeup removers.

Best oil based cleansers by skin type

• Oily or acne-prone skin: Choose a lightweight cleansing oil or balm that emulsifies well and rinses clean without a greasy finish.
• Dry or dehydrated skin: Look for nourishing cleansing oils or balms that remove SPF and makeup without leaving the skin tight.
• Sensitive skin: Choose gentle formulas and avoid aggressive rubbing, especially around the eyes and cheeks.
• Combination skin: A balanced cleansing oil can help remove sebum from oily areas while keeping drier areas comfortable.
• Heavy sunscreen or makeup: Cleansing oils and balms are ideal for breaking down long-wear products before the second cleanse.

Cleansing oil vs cleansing balm

• Cleansing oils: Lightweight liquid textures that spread easily and are ideal for daily SPF removal.
• Cleansing balms: Solid balm textures that melt into oil on the skin and are especially useful for makeup removal.

How to use an oil based cleanser

1. Apply on dry skin: Use cleansing oil or balm before wetting your face.
2. Massage gently: Massage for around 30–60 seconds to dissolve sunscreen, makeup and sebum.
3. Emulsify with water: Add a little lukewarm water until the cleanser turns milky.
4. Rinse well: Rinse thoroughly and follow with a gentle water based cleanser if needed.

Double cleansing routine

The Korean double cleansing method starts with an oil based cleanser to dissolve makeup, SPF and excess sebum. The second step is a water based cleanser to remove remaining residue, sweat and daily buildup.

If you wear sunscreen every day, an oil based cleanser in the evening can help cleanse the skin more effectively without needing harsh scrubs or strong makeup removers.
