Obviously, how you clean will depend on your choice of cleanser:
Some people like “double cleaning”, i.e. cleaning twice, sometimes with two different products, because they think it allows for a more intense cleaning.
Some people prefer to use the hot towel method (muslin cotton dipped in warm water) to remove their makeup remover.
