As she prepares for her role as a judge on the upcoming season of The Voice, Jessica Mauboy is prioritising finding the right balance between wearing heavy TV makeup, long days on set and caring for her skin.
Since auditioning for Australian Idol at the young age of 16, the now 32-year-old has learned a thing or two about staying disciplined when it comes to self-care.
Speaking to Channel 7, she said: “Outside of filming I love to exercise.” A typical day for the singer involves “getting up and going for a run for an hour, taking the dog for a walk, having a bite to eat and doing my nails.” And while we wish she had elaborated on her nail care routine, we did get a glimpse into one of her daily skin care practices.
Jessica sang the praises of the foolproof method for ridding your pores of any dirt and pollution: double cleansing. The singer shared: “I’m a big advocate for washing your face twice, especially when I have a lot of makeup on.”
So if you’re the kind of person who uses a face wipe and considers your cleansing routine done, we’re here to enlighten you on the benefits of cleansing not once, but twice.
Particularly beneficial in the evening, a double cleanse ensures the removal of stubborn product, pollution and bacteria that has built up over the day. The initial cleanse often involves an oil cleanser, micellar water or cleansing balm to break down and cut through makeup and SPF, while the second cleanse requires a cream or gel formula that acts as a deeper wash to clear your skin of impurities.
For the perfect double cleansing routine, we recommend:
Glow Lab Age Renew® Cleansing Balm

Ipsum Best Skin Cleansing Oil Balm

Do you double cleanse? Which cleansers do you rely on to keep your skin clear?
I’m currently using a Sukin Brightening cleanser at night to double cleanse. Can’t wait to finish it though because I got Esmi and Clinique cleansers in Rewards Room that I’m desperate to get into and in the morning I cleanse just once with Sensori+ cleansing oil.
You deserve congratulations, @Izzy09 for using your opened cleanser before you start on your new ones!! SO tempting to go to the new while in the middle of another isn’t it!! Hope you love the ones you got in RR – I’ve not heard of the Esmi.
Thanks Trish. It is very tempting especially when there are 10 points for reviewing them.
I’ve used Sukin which is great, and would love to try Glow Lab.
only $12 too -awesome
Pretty good value.
I do double cleanser. I am using a Dr. Lewinns cleanser at the moment.
Yes, definitely. Want to try glow lab balm and the Ipsum balm when I’m out of current cleansers, they look inviting! =D
I always double cleanse!
Yes! I do double cleanse and find it works wonders for me. I like to do a cream cleanse and then a gel cleanse but sometimes I use cleansing towelettes or cleansing cloths first like the fabric rounds by Face Halo, enjo or Sand & Sky and then I use my gel cleanser. I’m loving the sonic face cleanser brush by manicare to gently and thoroughly cleanse with my gel cleanser also.
I still have some micellar water which I never feel confident in so do a cream or oil cleanser after
I need to try this second cleanse
Definitely agree with Jessica on this one!, I would like to try the Glow Lab cleansing balm but I can’t find it anywhere, currently I’m using Banila zero cleansing balm.
I also use the Elemis cleansing balm a few nights a week.
I love using cleansing oils for my first cleanse then cream cleanser for my second.
I often clean twice as I am outside a lot and one cleanse never feels enough
Not a huge fan of sukin products
Same they are “ok”, don’t irritate my skin but don’t find them very effective
Depends, if I’m home all day, one is sufficient otherwise dbl is the way to go
I love Jessica. Serious legend.
Thanks so much for Jessica Mauboys Skin Cleansing Routine is would be more beneficial to cleanse twice especially when you are wearing Makeup.
I always double cleanse, but only at night. A double cleanse is a bit of overkill for my dry skin in the mornings.
Wow has she changed. She is quite lovely.
Working from home for weeks now, no makeup , a simple cleanser dies the trick, no need for anything else.
Double cleansing is good if you have a lot of make up on
I only cleanse once in the mornings, but I double cleanse at night unless I’ve been home all day.
1st cleanse – micellar water or cleansing balm with a Manicare Makeup Remover Towel or Garnier Eco Pad.
2nd cleanse – cream or gel cleanser with my Dermasonic+ Cleansing Device.
I double cleanse at night using a cream, gel or balm cleanser plus my Foreo Luna 3; and just do a single cleanse in the morning.
I can’t imagine not double cleansing! As an oily skin gal, I was so apprehensive at first, but it removes all my makeup and sunscreen so easily. The trick is using a gel based cleanser afterwards to remove any oily residue. The Asian oil cleansers are the best.
I will double cleanse if I’m wearing makeup but generally one cleanse suffices for me (even after wearing sunscreen), otherwise I’ve found my skin can get a bit irritated from all the cleansing. I’ve now started cleansing my face in the morning & I can see the benefits of doing it.
So using a Cleanser & then using Micellar Water is a double cleanse. I didn’t know that. I’ve been doing this for years.
I actually double cleanse sometimes
I always do double cleanse at night.I am currently use Biore Brightening Jelly Cleanser.
I tend to double cleanse when I wear a lot of makeup; on makeup free days it feels unnecessary.
Some lovely affordable options
The Glow Lab looks so nice
I do double cleanse, but only when wearing makeup
I always wash my face twice after having make-up on, it feels so much cleaner that way.
Interesting…
I tried the Sukin Naturals Cream Cleanser a long time ago. Although I still would recommend it for someone with dry skin, I’m starting to prefer oil cleansers.
Thanks for the info
I never double cleanse. I have been told by more than one dermatologist ‘if your first cleanser doesn’t work (aka clean your face), then it DOESN’T WORK and you are wasting time and money on a sub par product’.
I don’t double cleanse – Jessica does seem to have beautiful skin though.
