Korean cleansing oils are designed to dissolve sunscreen, makeup, excess sebum and oil-based impurities without leaving the skin feeling tight or stripped. Although applying oil to oily or acne-prone skin may sound counterintuitive, a well-formulated cleansing oil rinses away cleanly and can provide a gentle first cleanse for most skin types.

Massage the oil onto dry skin, add a little water and continue massaging until it turns milky. Rinse thoroughly, then follow with a cleansing foam or gel as part of your Korean double-cleansing routine.
