Step one: rubbing an oil into your skin to dissolve excess oil, makeup, water resistant sunscreen
Step two: regular cleanser
Ex: hydrogen, oxygen
Ex: water is made from 2 hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. H2O
Ex: sugar in water, salt in water.
Because opposites attract!
- negative ends of water molecules attract the positive ends of other substances
- the positive ends of water molecules attracts the negative ends of other substances
Because your oily makeup and oil in your skin (also known as sebum) are non-polar. Water is POLAR.
Non-polar and polar molecules don’t dissolve within each other.
This is why soap molecules are in dish soap to wash dishes, cleanser to wash your face, and detergents to wash your clothes.
The water-loving water stays in the water.
This breaks everything down, keeps it in solution and goes down the drain.

Polar molecules: one side is positive, one side is negative
Non-polar molecule: no charge because everything is evenly distributed. no positive or negative poles
Yes! At the end of the day, you massage in the oil on top of your makeup, then use your cleanser on top.
