OneSkin PREP: How to Use It as a Makeup Remover and Cleanser

Removing makeup thoroughly is the first step to healthy skin, but not all cleansers are created equal. Harsh makeup removers can strip your skin's natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated. OneSkin PREP offers a gentle yet effective solution, designed to cleanse without compromising your skin barrier. In this guide, we'll explore how to use OneSkin PREP as a makeup remover and daily cleanser, and how it fits into a double cleansing routine.

Whether you wear heavy foundation, waterproof mascara, or just a tinted moisturizer, proper makeup removal is essential. OneSkin PREP is formulated to dissolve impurities while maintaining skin's pH balance. Let's dive into the step-by-step process and tips to get the most out of this versatile cleanser.

What is OneSkin PREP?

OneSkin PREP is a facial cleanser designed to prepare your skin for subsequent skincare steps. It gently removes dirt, oil, and makeup without over-drying. Unlike traditional cleansers that may leave a tight feeling, PREP leaves your skin soft and supple. Its formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, making it an excellent choice for daily use.

As part of the OneSkin ecosystem, PREP works synergistically with other products like OS-01 FACE Topical Supplement and OS-01 FACE SPF. By starting with a clean canvas, you ensure that your skincare products absorb effectively, maximizing their benefits.

• Gentle, non-stripping formula
• Suitable for sensitive skin
• Helps maintain skin barrier

Step-by-Step: Using OneSkin PREP as a Makeup Remover

To use OneSkin PREP as a makeup remover, start with dry hands and a dry face. Dispense a small amount of PREP onto your fingertips and gently massage it over your face in circular motions. This helps break down makeup, including waterproof formulas. Focus on areas with heavier makeup, like the eyes and lips, but avoid direct contact with the eyes.

After massaging for about 30 seconds, add a little water to emulsify the cleanser. Continue massaging to lift away the makeup and impurities. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a clean towel. For best results, follow with your regular skincare routine, such as applying OS-01 FACE Topical Supplement to damp skin.

• Use dry hands and face for best makeup breakdown
• Massage gently to dissolve makeup without tugging
• Rinse with lukewarm water to avoid irritation

Double Cleansing with OneSkin PREP

Double cleansing is a popular technique that involves using an oil-based cleanser first to dissolve makeup and sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser to remove sweat and impurities. OneSkin PREP can serve as the second step in this routine, providing a deep clean without over-drying.

If you wear heavy or long-wear makeup, consider using a dedicated oil cleanser as the first step, then follow with PREP. For lighter makeup or daily wear, PREP alone may be sufficient. To enhance your routine, you can pair PREP with other OneSkin products like OS-01 FACE Topical Supplement Refill for continuous skin benefits.

• First step: oil-based cleanser for makeup and SPF
• Second step: OneSkin PREP for deep cleansing
• Adjust based on your makeup intensity

Tips for Removing Makeup Gently

When removing makeup, always be gentle to avoid irritating your skin. Avoid rubbing or pulling, as this can cause redness and premature aging. Use soft, upward strokes and let the cleanser do the work. If you have sensitive skin, you might also consider using a soft cloth or cotton pad to help remove makeup without friction.

For eye makeup, use a dedicated eye makeup remover if needed, but PREP can handle most formulas. To remove stubborn waterproof mascara, hold a cotton pad soaked in PREP over your closed eyelid for a few seconds before wiping gently. This helps dissolve the mascara without rubbing.

• Be gentle to avoid skin irritation
• Use a soft cloth or cotton pad for sensitive areas
• Hold soaked pad over eyes for stubborn makeup

Incorporating OneSkin PREP into Your Routine

OneSkin PREP can be used both morning and evening. In the morning, it refreshes your skin and removes any overnight buildup. In the evening, it's your first line of defense against makeup and environmental pollutants. After cleansing, apply your favorite OneSkin products, such as OS-01 FACE Topical Supplement, to maximize their efficacy.

Remember that consistency is key. Using PREP regularly helps maintain clear, healthy skin. If you're new to OneSkin, consider starting with a mini size like OS-01 FACE Mini, 8mL to see how your skin responds, then commit to the full-sized products.

• Use twice daily for best results
• Follow with serums and moisturizers
• Start with a mini size if you're new
