Online published on 8 August, 2019. Abstract Background/Objectives The purpose of facial makeup is to make skin look beautiful and appealing without giving any physiochemical stimulation to the skin. To do this, it is important to clear the skin by removing the cosmetics after applying makeup. Method After removing facial makeup using cleansing oil and cleansing water available in the Korean market, skin oil content, water content, and pH were measured with a skin analyzer and ingredients of cosmetic film were determined with a dermascope and scanning electron microscope. Findings Shortly after applying daily makeup, the cosmetic film was evenly applied to the face skin. As time passes, the cosmetic film formed a thick cosmetic film with the sebum and sweat components secreted from the skin as well as inorganic components of cosmetics. Scanning electron microscope observation showed that most cosmetic membranes consisted of spherical silica, nanometer sized iron oxide and titanium dioxide, and micrometer sized talc and ultramarine. Vellus hairs distributed on the skin were covered with cosmetic ingredients. Thus, cuticle layer was not observed. Face skin washed with cleansing water and cleansing oil was clean without observation of cosmetic ingredients. Improvements/Applications Cleansing oil is more effective than cleansing water in maintaining skin oil content and acidity while cleansing water is more effective than cleansing oil in moisturizing the skin Top Keywords Cleansing oil, cleansing water, dermascope, make up, skin condition, scanning electron microscope.
