Sensai Silky Purifying – The Japanese two-step cleansing ritual

Sensai Silky Purifying: the two-step Japanese cleansing ritual

Sensai's cleansing range

The Silky Purifying range is the line of high-performance cleansers from Sensai, the Japanese house by Kanebo. Sixteen products that make up the two-step Japanese purification ritual (cleansing oil followed by a foaming soap), an essential tradition of Asian skincare that prepares the skin for the steps that follow.

Key Silky Purifying products

The Silky Purifying range notably includes Cleansing Oil, Cleansing Milk, Creamy Soap, Milky Soap, Silk Peeling Powder, Mud Soap Wash Mask and Silky Purifying Sponge — seven of the sixteen products in the range, covering every step of Japanese double cleansing (make-up removal, foam, exfoliation, mask).

Japanese double cleansing explained

The double cleansing ritual is a signature of Asian skincare: you begin with a cleansing oil (which dissolves make-up, sebum and sunscreen), then follow with a water-based foaming cleanser (which removes impurities and residue). A two-step approach that prepares the skin to receive the following treatments — essence, serum, cream — in optimal conditions. Sensai takes this logic further with innovative textures (exfoliating silk powder, mud foam mask, konjac sponge).

Who is Silky Purifying for, and when should you use it?

Silky Purifying is designed for facial care as the first step of any ritual — whatever your skin type, double cleansing prepares the skin for the treatments that follow. Ideally pair it with a Sensai skincare range (Cellular Performance, Absolute Silk, Ultimate). If you love Silky Purifying, you will also enjoy exploring Valmont, Bioeffect and Matis — three other skincare signatures at Soleil d'Or.
