Meet the body exfoliant that lets you watch dead skin disappear in real time.
Sexapeel™ Instant Exfoliation Spray is a Korean-formulated glycolic acid gommage exfoliant that dissolves surface buildup, rolls it away visibly, and leaves arms, legs, elbows, knees, feet, and chest noticeably smoother — in under two minutes.
How it works: Spray onto completely dry skin. Wait 5 seconds. Massage in and watch gray-beige rolls of dead skin lift away — no scrubbing, no stinging, no stripping. Rinse in the shower. Done.
Why it works better than scrubs: Gritty scrubs create micro-tears without fully removing dead cells. Sexapeel combines glycolic acid + banana, kiwi, and apple fruit-acid enzymes to chemically loosen surface buildup while the gommage gel physically binds to debris — so you see the proof rolling off your skin.
What it Helps:
- Keratosis pilaris (KP / "chicken skin") on arms and legs
- Strawberry legs and dark pores
- Rough, ashy, or dull body skin
- Ingrown hairs from shaving or waxing
- Uneven texture on elbows, knees, and heels
- Patchy or streaky self-tanner buildup
Skin prep that pros use: Formulated by celebrity makeup artist and esthetician Sonia Roselli, Sexapeel is the skin prep step that makes everything else work better — self-tanner applies evenly, body moisturizer absorbs deeper, and shaved skin stays smoother longer. Use it before self-tanning or before shaving for best results.
Nourishing, not stripping: A base of moringa oil, argan oil, sodium hyaluronate, aloe, and hydrolyzed collagen leaves skin conditioned and hydrated after rinsing — not tight or raw.
Use every other day for the first month on KP-prone or very rough skin, then 1–2x per week to maintain. Results are visible after the first use; significant texture improvement in 4 weeks.
Made in Korea. Formulated for sensitive and reactive body skin. Always apply SPF to treated areas — AHA exfoliants increase sun sensitivity.
An authentic Korean gommage peeling gel for face and sensitive skin...
Product Description
Formulated in South Korea, SexApeel Gommage Peeling Gel is a professional-grade facial exfoliator engineered for sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin.
Unlike traditional face scrubs that use jagged nutshells that tear delicate skin, or harsh chemical acid peels that cause stinging and post-peel flaking, SexApeel uses gentle Korean gommage technology.
Natural plant-derived cellulose and fruit enzymes (papaya, apple, and lemon) bind selectively to dead surface protein cells and excess oil, rolling them away into soft, visible micro-flakes in just 45 seconds.
Why You’ll Love It:
-
Flawless Makeup Canvas: Eliminates dry micro-flakes on the nose, cheeks, and forehead so liquid foundation glides on seamlessly with zero caking, clinging, or pilling.
-
Zero Barrier Damage: Smooths rough, uneven skin texture without micro-tears, acid stinging, or flushing redness.
-
Hydrated & Soothed Base: Infused with soothing Aloe Vera, Chamomile, and Centella Asiatica to leave your fresh skin layer soft, calm, and plump after rinsing.
Key Details:
-
Format: Smooth Gommage Gel
-
Best For: All skin types, including sensitive, reactive, and rosacea-prone skin
-
Usage: 1–2 times per week on dry skin
-
Origin: Formulated & Made in South Korea
Water Elixir is the ultimate first step in your routine. Think of this milky liquid serum as your pre-moisturizer, moisturizer. Formulated to flood dry skin with instant hydration, it preps your face perfectly for Water Balm.
Sonia Roselli Water Elixir Skin Prep | Hydrating Liquid Serum & Essence
Sonia Roselli Water Elixir is a professional-grade, milky liquid serum and hydrating skin prep essence designed to eliminate surface dehydration and create a flawless, skin-identical base for makeup application. Functioning as a high-performance "pre-moisturizer moisturizer," this fragrance-free formula instantly floods the skin barrier with deep moisture, priming the face to maximize the benefits of Water Balm.
Core Benefits & Targeted Skin Concerns
Water Elixir is clinically formulated to target severe dryness, skin barrier disruption, and cosmetic application failure. It directly addresses:
-
Foundation Pilling & Separation: Prevents cosmetic formulas from pilling, separating, or breaking down by midday.
-
Textured Dry Patches: Stops foundation, concealer, and powder from clinging to dry, flaky skin areas.
-
Retinoid-Induced Flaking: Soothes, smooths, and calms the visible peeling and irritation caused by active retinoids, retinol, and cellular-turnover topicals.
-
Surface Dehydration: Rehydrates tight, dull-looking skin, leaving a plump, radiant, and hydrated glow.
How to Apply Water Elixir in Your Skincare Routine
For optimal results, incorporate this liquid serum into your morning and evening professional skin prep routine:
-
Cleanse: Begin with thoroughly cleansed skin.
-
Apply Water Elixir: Pat a few drops of the milky liquid serum directly onto the face and neck as your immediate first hydration step.
-
Layer: Follow with your targeted treatment serums, facial oils, or your primary moisturizer, such as Water Balm.
Advanced Cosmetic Chemistry & Key Ingredients
The efficacy of Water Elixir relies on a synergistic blend of pure botanical waters and advanced, bio-available moisture vectors:
-
Multi-Molecular-Weight Sodium Hyaluronate: Cross-linked hyaluronic acid variants that penetrate multiple layers of the stratum corneum to lock in multi-level, long-lasting moisture.
-
Ceramide-Mimicking Lipid Complex: Utilizes Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Sodium Dilauramidoglutamide Lysine, and Hydrogenated Lecithin to mimic natural intercellular lipids, repairing the skin barrier and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
-
Skin-Identical Amino Acid Complex: Replenishes the skin's Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) to restore cellular elasticity, bounce, and suppleness.
-
Premium Water Bases: Formulated with pure Mt. Fuji Spring Water and soothing Rosa Centifolia Flower Water to instantly calm reactivity.
Formula Integrity & Specifications
-
Skin Type Compatibility: Optimized for sensitive, severely dehydrated, mature, and aging skin types.
-
Fragrance Profile: 100% Fragrance-free with zero added perfume or artificial masking agents.
-
Texture: Lightweight, milky, fast-absorbing liquid prep fluid.
Sonia Roselli Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel is built specifically for the delicate eye area rather than scaled down from a face cream. Formulated by a 35-year working makeup artist and licensed esthetician, this fragrance-free gel combines a four-peptide complex, Niacinamide, and Glucosyl Ceramide in a weightless silicone base that sets into a smooth, primer-like finish.
Why Your Under-Eyes Need It
More concealer doesn't fix creasing—it makes it worse. Layering heavy products under the eye stacks incompatible textures that pill and trap dry micro-flakes. This Eye Gel specifically targets:
-
Concealer Creasing & Settling: Creates a smooth, blurred canvas so makeup sits flat without sliding into fine lines or "caking by noon."
-
Crepey & Dehydrated Texture: Instantly cushions dry, crepey skin with weightless moisture.
-
Over-Layering & Pilling: Replaces the need for a separate eye cream, treatment, and primer, eliminating pilled product buildup.
How to Apply (The Ring Finger Technique)
Apply morning and evening after Water Elixir and before Water Oil.
-
Dispense: Place a small dot of gel onto your ring finger (which naturally applies the least pressure).
-
Apply: Dot along the orbital bone, not directly on the thin under-eye skin. Safe for the upper lid, under-eye, and outer corners.
-
Tap: Tap gently inward toward the nose. Do not drag or rub.
-
Set: Allow 60 to 90 seconds to set before applying concealer.
Key Ingredients That Do the Heavy Lifting
-
Four-Peptide Complex (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Matrixyl / Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7): Supports the look of smoother, firmer, and more resilient-feeling skin.
-
Glucosyl Ceramide & Squalane: Rebuilds moisture in delicate skin that has fewer natural oil glands, providing a comfortable cushion without greasy residue.
-
Niacinamide: Supports a more even, smooth, and balanced skin tone.
-
Smoothing Silicones (Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone): Creates the silky, blurred canvas that keeps concealer from settling into fine line texture.
Formula Promises
-
100% Fragrance-Free: Zero added perfume or masking scents.
-
Sensitivity Tested: Suitable for reactive and rosacea-prone skin near the eye.
-
Botanical Note: Contains Evening Primrose Seed Extract and Plum Extract (Hydrolyzed Prunus Domestica). If you have known botanical sensitivities, patch test on the inner arm first.
-
The Flawless Under-Eye Prep Routine
-
Step 1 — Flood: Apply 2–3 drops of Water Elixir all over face and under eyes.
-
Step 2 — Smooth: Tap Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel along the orbital bone.
-
Step 3 — Lock: Apply Water Balm to lock in hydration before makeup and to smooth the eyes before makeup.
-
The Weightless Solution for Luminous Skin Prep and Facial Massage
Foundation that looks flat, dry, or cakey by midday is frequently a skin barrier issue rather than a cosmetic failure. When the skin surface is undernourished, it absorbs light instead of reflecting it, causing your makeup to look dull, heavy, or patchy. Before replacing your foundation, look at how your skin canvas is prepped underneath.
Water Oil is a dual-phase, weightless watery oil developed specifically for those who avoid traditional oils out of fear of heavy weight, a greasy film, or sudden breakouts. Suspended in a fluid watery base, it provides an exquisite cushion glide for facial massage tools and gua sha stones, absorbing completely to leave your skin looking supple and alive. It ensures your foundation settles smoothly into place with true depth instead of sitting flat on the surface.
The Lipid Bridge for Sensitive Skin Barriers
A compromised skin barrier often lacks the vital protective lipids required to seal in hydration, leaving the surface vulnerable to flaking, irritation, and a tight, uncomfortable feel. Water Oil acts as a weightless lipid-replenishing bridge. By suspending biomimetic emollients within a fluid water layer, it introduces deep barrier reinforcement exactly where your skin canvas is most depleted. It works to soothe the look of temporary surface flushing and leaves the skin barrier feeling calm, comforted, and fully prepared to lock in subsequent hydration steps.
The Pure Alternative to Prestige Watery Oils
Many high-end, luxury watery oils rely on heavy synthetic silicones, animal-derived bee products, and intense synthetic fragrances to simulate a weightless fluid glide. While these ingredients create a pleasant initial surface feel, they frequently form a suffocating, artificial film on the skin. This film traps heat, clogs delicate pores, and causes your liquid foundation to pill, ball up, or slide off by midday.
Water Oil delivers a luxurious, professional-level cushion glide through a high-precision, silicone-free botanical matrix. By eliminating heavy synthetic fillers, honey derivatives, and volatile masking perfumes, it provides the weightless suppleness your skin canvas demands with none of the hidden barrier disruptions. It offers elite, prestige performance at a significantly smarter investment.
Why Skincare and Makeup Enthusiasts Love It:
-
Intensive barrier support: Delivers critical skin-compatible lipids that mimic your own moisture structures, helping to reinforce the appearance of a resilient skin barrier against daily environmental stressors.
-
Weightless lipid nourishment: Absorbs fully into the surface layer instead of sitting heavily on top, leaving your skin looking supple without a greasy or reflective finish under makeup.
-
Friction protection: Provides a long-lasting cushion glide that safeguards vulnerable skin boundaries from physical pulling, dragging, or temporary redness during massage or tool application.
-
Supple, dimensional finish: Pairs plant emollients with an oil-compatible peptide sequence to support the appearance of smoother, firmer skin texture, ensuring your cosmetics look dimensional instead of flat.
Key Details:
-
Format: Dual-Phase Watery Face Oil
-
Best For: All skin types, specifically calibrated for dry, combination, sensitive, and reactive skin boundaries
-
Usage: Morning or evening application after water serums (Step 4: Glow)
-
Purity Standards: Silicone-free, bee-product-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free
Intense Barrier Cream is a concentrated ceramide moisturizer that helps support your skin's compromised protective barrier while delivering comfort and visible results. Made in Japan with high levels of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in the precise ratio your barrier needs.
What makes it different: Rich enough to provide intensive barrier support, yet lightweight enough to wear comfortably during the day. The gel-cream texture absorbs in 60 seconds without greasiness or heaviness - unlike typical barrier creams that feel medical-grade sticky.
Works everywhere you need it: Face, neck, décolleté, and delicate eye area. One cream replaces multiple products (moisturizer, neck cream, eye cream).
Who needs this: People with chronically uncomfortable skin, persistent redness, products that sting, menopausal skin changes, or damage from over-exfoliation and harsh treatments. Ideal for sensitive, rosacea-prone, or barrier-compromised skin.
What you'll notice: Skin feels immediately comfortable and soothed. Within 4-6 weeks, visible improvement in texture, redness, hydration retention, and overall skin comfort. Products stop stinging. Skin can tolerate active ingredients again.
Key ingredients: Concentrated ceramide complex (NP, AP, EOP), clinical-strength niacinamide, cholesterol, fatty acids, shea butter, squalane, bisabolol.
Safe for: All skin types when barrier is compromised. Fragrance-free, essential oil-free, pregnancy-safe, dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic.
Water Balm is a skin prep balm manufactured in Japan by Sonia Roselli Beauty. It combines Ceramide 3, a full amino acid complex, hydrolyzed silk, fermented rice extract, and Rosa Damascena Flower Water in a silicone-based texture system.
Water Balm is fragrance-free and formulated for all skin types, including rosacea-prone and reactive skin. It is designed to replace toner, serum, moisturizer, primer, and eye cream in a single step.
Water Balm addresses foundation pilling, cakey texture by midday, dry patches showing through makeup, and makeup sitting on top of skin instead of blending into it. It contains no niacinamide, no exfoliating acids, and no retinoids.
Size is 60 g / 2.11 fl. oz. Price is $65.00. A 60-second absorption window is recommended before applying makeup.
The Cleanest One-Step Makeup Melt
Engineered in modern Japanese cosmetics laboratories, this premium oil cleanser effortlessly liquefies water-resistant pigments, heavy silicone foundations, and industrial physical UV filters without stripping your natural skin barrier.
Why it is naturally pink
That beautiful, vibrant hue is 100% natural and comes straight from a high concentration of Vitamin B12. We do not use synthetic colorants, coal-tar derivatives, or artificial dyes. Vitamin B12 is a clinical powerhouse for reactive and rosacea-prone skin, recognized for its ability to soothe intense surface irritation, reduce redness, and support barrier recovery during your wash.
Why serious makeup wearers love it:
-
Zero Lash Loss: Glides over delicate eye areas to break down stubborn waterproof mascara polymers on contact. You can completely stop aggressively rubbing your eyelids with abrasive cotton pads or makeup wipes.
-
Mineral Oil-Free Purity: Swaps out cheap petroleum by-products for lightweight, non-comedogenic botanical lipids like safflower and jojoba seed oils. It dissolves oxidized sebum out of your pores and washes away completely clear, meaning it will not clog pores or trigger breakouts.
-
Clean Emulsification: Transforms into a light cleansing milk the moment it hits warm water. It rinses off entirely with water alone, acting as your makeup remover and facial cleanser combined into a single step. No greasy film left behind, and no cloudy or blurry vision.

FAQ
Why does this sequence — exfoliate, hydrate, seal — actually matter?
Makeup problems like pilling, settling, and cakey texture trace back to two causes: dead skin buildup and dehydration. This kit removes the buildup, fixes the dehydration, then seals it all in — addressing both root causes in one purchase.
Will this stop my foundation from settling into fine lines?
Yes. Removing buildup and hydrating skin first gives foundation an even, hydrated surface to sit on instead of clinging to dry patches or texture.
How long until I see results?
Skin feels smoother and more hydrated immediately. The exfoliation benefit builds over 3–4 weeks of consistent use — this is a daily-better routine, not a one-time fix.
Is this kit safe for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?
Yes. All three products are formulated for reactive, sensitive, and rosacea-prone skin. The Gommage Gel is fragrance-free.
How often do I use each product?
Sexapeel Gommage: 1–3x/week. Water Elixir and Water Balm: daily, morning and night.
What's the difference between this and the Complete Makeup Prep Kit?
The Complete Makeup Prep Kit adds the Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel, specifically for concealer that creases or settles into fine lines around the eyes.
Do I need a separate primer if I use this kit?
No. Water Balm is formulated to replace a separate primer step, on top of hydrating and prepping skin.
How much do I save with this kit?
$172 retail value for $163 — a $9 savings, with more available on Auto Replenish.
I already own some of these products — should I still buy the kit?
If you're missing just one or two, buying individually may make more sense. This kit is built for starting the full three-step system at once.
Can I use Sexapeel Gommage and Water Elixir on the same day?
Yes — on exfoliation nights, use Sexapeel Gommage first, then follow with Water Elixir and Water Balm.
The Sexapeel™ Face & Body Exfoliation Kit by Sonia Roselli is a two-part rinse-off gommage exfoliation system formulated in Korea.
Created by a 35-year licensed esthetician, the kit features the fragrance-free Sexapeel Gel for the face (Mandelic Acid and PHAs) and Sexapeel Spray for the body (Glycolic Acid and fruit-acid complex).
The non-abrasive formulas lift surface buildup and dead skin without harsh scrubbing, leaving skin smooth, soft, and makeup-ready. Priced at $96 ($91 on Auto Replenish) with free shipping and a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Hydration Heroes Skin Prep Kit
A two-step facial hydration and makeup-prep system for skin that feels tight, dehydrated, rough, or difficult under makeup. Water Elixir delivers lightweight hydration, while Water Balm helps seal in moisture and prepare the skin for smoother-looking makeup application.
Includes: Water Elixir + Water Balm
Kit price: $109
Separate value: $130
You save: $21
Full Product Description
When skin feels oily on the surface but tight underneath, adding more heavy creams is not always the answer. The Hydration Heroes Skin Prep Kit gives your skin two clear hydration steps without building an overly complicated routine.
First, Water Elixir adds lightweight hydration to skin that feels depleted, tight, or uncomfortable. Then, Water Balm helps seal in that hydration while serving as your final moisturizer and makeup-prep step.
Together, they help simplify what goes underneath sunscreen, foundation, concealer, and other complexion products.
Instead of layering several serums, moisturizers, facial oils, and primers, this two-product system gives each step a clear job:
-
Hydrate with Water Elixir
-
Seal and prep with Water Balm
The result is skin that feels softer, more comfortable, and better prepared for makeup.

3 Key Benefits
1. Replenishes Lightweight Hydration
Water Elixir gives thirsty, dehydrated skin a lightweight hydration step without beginning the routine with a heavy cream.
It is designed for skin that may feel:
-
Tight
-
Depleted
-
Uncomfortable
-
Dry underneath surface oil
-
Rough under makeup
This step helps reduce the urge to stack several hydrating serums before moisturizer.
2. Seals In Moisture and Softens the Skin
Water Balm follows Water Elixir to help seal in hydration and support softer, smoother-feeling skin.
It works as:
-
Your moisturizer
-
Your final skincare layer
-
Your makeup-prep step
Water Balm can reduce the need for a separate primer in many routines, helping simplify the number of products sitting underneath foundation.
3. Creates a Simpler Makeup-Prep Routine
Too many skincare and primer layers can create more opportunities for rolling, balling, lifting, or uneven makeup application.
Hydration Heroes gives you a clear order:
Water Elixir → Water Balm → sunscreen → makeup
Fewer overlapping layers mean fewer products competing underneath your foundation.
This kit does not guarantee zero pilling or compatibility with every sunscreen and makeup formula. It creates a simpler routine with fewer potential conflict points.

Makeup-Prep Tips
For the best makeup application:
-
Use thin layers
-
Avoid applying more product than your skin needs
-
Press skincare into the skin instead of repeatedly rubbing
-
Allow Water Balm to settle before sunscreen
-
Allow sunscreen to settle before makeup
-
Apply foundation with light pressing or blending motions
-
Avoid repeatedly working over the same area
-
Test one routine change at a time
If your makeup pills, do not replace every product at once.
Start by checking:
-
How much skincare you applied
-
Whether you used a separate primer
-
Whether Water Balm had time to settle
-
Whether sunscreen had time to form its layer
-
Whether the pilling began before or after sunscreen
-
Whether repeated rubbing disturbed the layers underneath
Can Water Balm Replace Primer?
For many makeup routines, Water Balm can serve as the final moisturizer and makeup-prep step, reducing the need for a separate primer.
A specialized primer may still be useful for someone seeking a specific makeup effect, such as:
-
Strong mattifying
-
Pore filling
-
Added grip
-
Targeted blurring
Water Balm is not positioned as another layer to add on top of moisturizer and primer. Its purpose is to help simplify overlapping steps where appropriate.
Why This Kit Works as a System
Each product has a separate job.
Water Elixir
Hydrates
Water Balm
Seals and prepares
Using them together creates a simple two-step system instead of asking one product to do everything.
This makes the routine easier to:
-
Understand
-
Repeat
-
Adjust
-
Travel with
-
Use underneath makeup
-
Troubleshoot when another formula changes

It layers hydration, nourishment, cushion, and richer moisture to help skin feel comfortable before makeup.

CTA: Start With Sensitive Skin Prep
If your skin reacts to everything, start here.
You try something new.
Your skin feels tight.
Something stings.
Your face suddenly feels uncomfortable.
So you start taking things out of your routine.
And exfoliation?
That can feel like the last thing you want to try again.
When skin already feels reactive, I do not want you throwing more at it.
Start with hydration.
Add nourishment.
Support the skin’s moisture barrier.
Give your skin a routine that feels comfortable.
Then add more only when your skin is ready.
Comfort first. Add later.
What is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit?
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is a four-product barrier-support skincare routine for makeup wearers with sensitive or reactive-feeling skin.
It includes:
Water Elixir
Lightweight hydration for skin that feels dry, tight, or thirsty.
Water Oil
Nourishing facial oil that helps skin feel softer and more supple.
Water Balm
Cushiony daily moisture that helps skin feel soft, hydrated, and comfortable.
Intense Barrier Cream
Richer moisture for skin that feels dry, stressed, or easily uncomfortable.
All four skincare products are made in Japan.
Together, they give sensitive-feeling skin a simple way to hydrate, nourish, moisturize, and support the skin barrier without making exfoliation the first step.
Sensitive skin needs a different kind of skin prep.
Your foundation only knows the skin you put it on.
If that skin feels tight, dry, rough, or uncomfortable, makeup may not sit the way you want it to.
Foundation can catch around dry-looking areas.
It can look patchy.
It can sit on top instead of looking like skin.
And adding more makeup usually does not solve what is happening underneath it.
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit starts with the skin.
Hydrate it.
Nourish it.
Give it comfortable layers of moisture.
Then apply your makeup.
Great skincare. Better makeup.
What it does as skincare
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit helps create a simple routine for skin that needs moisture and comfort.
Use it to:
-
Hydrate dry or tight-feeling skin
-
Add nourishing moisture
-
Help skin feel soft and supple
-
Support the skin’s moisture barrier
-
Add richer moisture where skin needs more comfort
-
Simplify your routine when everything else feels like too much
No aggressive routine.
No need to keep adding products because you think more must be better.
Start with what your skin is asking for.
Why makeup wearers care
Sensitive skin prep is not about covering everything with more foundation.
It is about improving the canvas underneath it.
When skin feels dry or uncomfortable, makeup can emphasize the areas you were trying to hide.
It may cling.
Look heavy.
Or make dry-looking texture more obvious.
Hydrated, comfortable-feeling skin gives your foundation a better surface to sit on.
The goal is not perfect skin.
The goal is skin that feels better before makeup ever touches it.
And makeup that looks more like skin when it does.
Why there is no exfoliator in the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit
Because not everyone should start with exfoliation.
If your skin feels reactive or easily uncomfortable, adding another exfoliating step may not be what it needs right now.
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit takes a barrier-first approach.
Start with hydration.
Add nourishment.
Support comfortable-feeling skin.
Pay attention to how your skin responds.
Then decide what comes next.
You do not need to force your skin through someone else’s routine.
Your four-step sensitive skin prep routine
Step 1: Water Elixir
Start with lightweight hydration.
Water Elixir gives dry or tight-feeling skin its first layer of hydration.
Use it before your richer skincare to create a hydrated foundation for the rest of your routine.
Why makeup wearers care
When skin feels thirsty, foundation can make that dryness more obvious.
Hydrating the skin first gives your makeup a better place to start.
Step 2: Water Oil
Add nourishment.
Water Oil adds a nourishing layer that helps skin feel softer and more supple.
Use it when your skin is asking for more than water alone.
Why makeup wearers care
Dry-feeling skin can grab foundation in certain areas.
Adding nourishment before makeup can help the skin underneath feel softer and more comfortable.
Step 3: Water Balm
Add cushiony moisture.
Water Balm gives skin another layer of hydration and moisture without turning skin prep into a complicated routine.
Skin feels soft, cushioned, and comfortable.
Why makeup wearers care
Foundation often looks different on properly hydrated skin.
Instead of trying to fix dry-looking makeup with another layer of foundation, start underneath it.
Step 4: Intense Barrier Cream
Seal with richer moisture.
Intense Barrier Cream gives dry, stressed-feeling skin a richer final layer of comfort.
Use it when your skin needs more moisture than a lightweight routine can provide.
Why makeup wearers care
If foundation keeps catching around dry-looking areas, the answer may not be another foundation.
Your skin may simply need more support underneath it.
Who is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit for?
This kit may be your starting point if you find yourself saying:
“My skin reacts to everything.”
“Everything feels like too much.”
“My skin feels tight after I wash it.”
“I am scared to exfoliate again.”
“I never know what my skin is going to react to.”
“My makeup looks worse when my skin feels irritated.”
“I just want a simple place to start.”
You do not need a shelf full of products.
You need to understand what your skin is asking for.
Sensitive Skin Prep Kit vs. Makeup Prep Kit
Both are skincare for makeup wearers.
They solve different problems.
Choose the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit if:
Your biggest concern is how your skin feels.
Your skin feels sensitive or reactive.
It feels dry or tight.
It becomes uncomfortable easily.
You are hesitant to exfoliate.
You want to focus on hydration, nourishment, moisture, and barrier support first.
Start with comfort.
Choose the Makeup Prep Kit if:
Your biggest concern is how your makeup looks.
Foundation sits on top of your skin.
It looks cakey.
It catches around flaky areas.
It looks like paint.
You want a simple routine that includes exfoliation, hydration, and moisture before makeup.
Start with the canvas.
Why Sonia takes a different approach to reactive skin
I have spent my career looking at skin before I ever reach for foundation.
I am a licensed esthetician and celebrity makeup artist.
I have worked on real faces since 1990.
And I have reactive, rosacea-prone skin myself.
So I understand why trying a new product can feel like a gamble when your skin reacts easily.
More is not always better.
Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is simplify.
Hydrate.
Nourish.
Pay attention.
Then decide what your skin actually needs next.
That is how I approach skin as a makeup artist.
And it is how I approach my own.
Skincare for makeup wearers
Sonia Roselli Beauty makes skincare for people who wear makeup.
Because skincare and makeup are not two separate conversations.
The condition of your skin affects what happens when foundation, concealer, and powder go on top of it.
That is why our products are designed in two ways.
They have a job to do as skincare.
And they have to make sense for someone who wears makeup.
Because makeup looks better when skin feels better.
Made in Japan
Water Elixir, Water Oil, Water Balm, and Intense Barrier Cream are all made in Japan.
Together, they make up Sonia Roselli Beauty’s sensitive skin prep routine.
Four skincare steps.
One clear purpose.
Hydrate, nourish, moisturize, and support skin that needs a gentler place to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sonia Roselli Sensitive Skin Prep Kit?
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is a four-product skincare routine for makeup wearers whose skin feels sensitive, reactive, dry, tight, or easily uncomfortable.
It includes Water Elixir, Water Oil, Water Balm, and Intense Barrier Cream.
The routine focuses on hydration, nourishment, moisture, comfort, and barrier support rather than beginning with exfoliation.
What products are included in the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit?
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit includes four full-size Sonia Roselli Beauty skincare products:
Water Elixir
Water Oil
Water Balm
Intense Barrier Cream
All four products are made in Japan.
Is this a barrier support skincare kit?
Yes.
Barrier support is an important part of the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit.
The routine combines lightweight hydration, nourishing oil, cushiony moisture, and richer moisture for skin that feels dry, stressed, sensitive, or reactive.
Is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit for sensitive skin?
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is Sonia Roselli Beauty’s skin prep route for people whose skin feels sensitive or reactive.
If you have a diagnosed skin condition or known ingredient sensitivities, review the individual ingredient lists and speak with your qualified skincare or medical professional when appropriate.
Is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit safe for rosacea?
We do not make medical claims about rosacea.
Sonia personally has reactive, rosacea-prone skin, and her experience with reactive skin informs how she approaches skincare.
If you have rosacea or another diagnosed skin condition, review the individual product ingredients and speak with your dermatologist or qualified medical professional about what is appropriate for your skin.
Does the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit include an exfoliator?
No.
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit does not include Sexapeel.
This routine is designed to give reactive-feeling skin a barrier-first starting point with hydration, nourishment, and moisture.
Exfoliation can be considered later based on what your skin tolerates.
Can I use the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit before makeup?
Yes.
The products are skincare first, but the routine was designed with makeup wearers in mind.
Hydrated, comfortable-feeling skin creates a better canvas for foundation and concealer than skin that feels dry, tight, or stressed.
Is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit a makeup primer?
No.
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is skincare.
It hydrates, nourishes, moisturizes, and supports the skin underneath your makeup.
That skin prep can help create a better surface before foundation and concealer are applied.
What is the difference between the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit and the Makeup Prep Kit?
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is designed for people whose main concern is sensitive, reactive, dry, tight, or easily uncomfortable skin.
It does not include exfoliation.
The Makeup Prep Kit is designed for people whose main concern is foundation that looks cakey, flaky, heavy, or like it is sitting on top of the skin.
It includes exfoliation as part of the prep routine.
What was the Barrier Support Skincare Kit?
Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is the current name for Sonia Roselli Beauty’s sensitive-skin, barrier-support skin prep routine.
The new name makes its purpose clearer.
It is skincare designed for makeup wearers who need a gentler place to start.
How much is the Sensitive Skin Prep Kit?
The Sensitive Skin Prep Kit is $195.
Free shipping is included on every Sonia Roselli Beauty order.
When your skin says enough, listen.
You do not need another aggressive step.
You do not need to force exfoliation.
And you do not need to keep buying products hoping the next one will finally make sense.
Start with hydration.
Add nourishment.
Support the skin underneath your makeup.
Learn what your skin likes.
Then add more when it makes sense.

CTA: Start With Sensitive Skin Prep
Your skin changed. Your foundation noticed.
The foundation you used to love suddenly settles into every line. Clings to dry areas. Looks heavier than it used to.
Before you buy another foundation, change what is underneath it.
The Ageless Beauty Kit gives skin three things in the right order:
Water. Oil. Seal.
Water Elixir hydrates. Water Oil adds lightweight nourishment. Water Balm seals it in and creates a soft, cushioned surface before makeup.
Three full-size products.
Three simple steps.
No guessing what goes first.
Same foundation. Different skin.
Maybe your foundation did not change.
Your skin did.
It feels drier than it used to. Less cushioned. Makeup catches where it never used to catch. Foundation settles into lines. Clings around dry areas. Looks heavier by midday.
So you buy another foundation.
Same problem.
That is when it is worth looking at the skin underneath.
The Ageless Beauty Kit layers hydration, lightweight nourishment, and moisture in a specific order so skin feels softer, more comfortable, and better prepared before foundation ever touches it.
The goal is not more makeup.
The goal is makeup that looks more like skin.
Water. Oil. Seal.
Three products. Each one has a different job.
1. WATER: Water Elixir
Start with hydration.
Water Elixir is a lightweight essence made with Hyaluronic Acid, amino acids, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5.
As skincare:
Helps skin feel hydrated, soft, and supple.
Why makeup wearers care:
Foundation has a better surface to sit on when the skin underneath feels properly hydrated.
How to use:
Press 2 pumps into cleansed, damp skin morning and night.
2. OIL: Water Oil
Water alone may not feel like enough anymore.
Water Oil combines Squalane, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Camellia Oil, Jojoba Oil, and other conditioning oils in a lightweight formula.
As skincare:
Helps skin feel softer, more supple, and comfortably nourished.
Why makeup wearers care:
The added softness and slip help create a more cushioned surface so makeup looks less dry and patchy.
How to use:
Warm 1 pump between your palms. Press into skin while it is still damp from Water Elixir.
3. SEAL: Water Balm
Finish with Water Balm.
This cushiony moisturizer combines Ceramide 3, Hydrolyzed Silk, amino acids, and humectants.
As skincare:
Helps skin feel moisturized, cushioned, and comfortable.
Why makeup wearers care:
Water Balm creates the final soft, hydrated surface before foundation and concealer.
How to use:
Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips. Press into skin. Wait 60 seconds before applying makeup.
Hydration is not always the whole answer.
Maybe you already moisturize.
Maybe you use a serum.
Maybe that used to be enough.
Now your skin still feels tight a few hours later.
That does not mean you need twelve more products.
It may mean you need a better balance of hydration and nourishment.
Water Elixir gives skin water-based hydration.
Water Oil adds lightweight nourishment.
Water Balm seals the routine.
Each step has one clear job.
Water. Oil. Seal.
Is this kit for you?
The Ageless Beauty Kit may be a good fit if:
-
Your skin feels drier than it used to.
-
Your moisturizer no longer feels like enough.
-
Your skin feels tight after a few hours.
-
Foundation settles into every line.
-
Makeup clings to dry areas.
-
Foundation looks heavier than it used to.
-
Makeup looks fine in the morning and worse by midday.
-
You keep changing foundation but getting the same problem.
-
You want skin, not makeup.
-
You want three clear steps instead of another complicated routine.
If your skin currently burns, stings, or reacts to nearly everything, a barrier-first routine may be a better place to start.
Why this routine is different
A lot of routines stop at hydration.
This one does not.
Water Elixir handles the water-based hydration step.
Water Oil adds lightweight oils and Squalane for added softness, nourishment, and slip.
Water Balm goes on last to seal those layers in.
That gives you a simple routine you can actually remember.
And because every product is skincare first, you can use the same routine on bare-skin days and makeup days.
Great skincare. Better makeup.

Created by someone who has spent 35 years looking at skin under makeup.
Sonia Roselli is a licensed esthetician, celebrity makeup artist, complexion expert, and product developer.
She began her makeup career in 1990.
That means decades of seeing what happens when foundation meets skin that is dry, tight, reactive, over-layered, or simply not prepped for the makeup going on top.
Sonia also has reactive, rosacea-prone skin herself.
She created Sonia Roselli Beauty around a simple belief:
Makeup looks better when skin feels better.
Water Elixir, Water Oil, and Water Balm are all made in Japan.
How to Use
Use all three products morning and night.
Step 1: Water Elixir
Press 2 pumps into cleansed, damp skin.
Step 2: Water Oil
Warm 1 pump between your palms. Press into skin while it is still damp.
Step 3: Water Balm
Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips. Press into skin.
Before makeup, wait 60 seconds after Water Balm.
That is the routine.
Water. Oil. Seal.
How to Prep Before Foundation
Do not rush the layers.
Press each product into the skin instead of rubbing on more product.
Use:
Water Elixir → Water Oil → Water Balm
Then give Water Balm about 60 seconds before applying foundation or concealer.
Your skin should feel hydrated and cushioned.
Not coated.
Then apply makeup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ageless Beauty Kit?
The Ageless Beauty Kit is a three-step Sonia Roselli Beauty skincare kit made in Japan.
It contains Water Elixir, Water Oil, and Water Balm.
The routine layers water-based hydration first, lightweight nourishment second, and moisturizer last.
Who is the Ageless Beauty Kit for?
It is designed for skin that feels drier, tighter, less cushioned, or harder to make up than it used to.
It is especially useful when foundation starts clinging, settling, or looking heavier even though you have not changed your makeup.
What order do I use the Ageless Beauty Kit?
Use:
Water Elixir → Water Oil → Water Balm
Or remember:
Water. Oil. Seal.
Can I use the Ageless Beauty Kit before makeup?
Yes.
Use Water Elixir first, Water Oil second, and Water Balm last.
Wait about 60 seconds after Water Balm before applying foundation or concealer.
Why would I use face oil under makeup?
Water Oil is the nourishment step in this routine.
It adds lightweight oils and Squalane between your water-based hydration and moisturizer.
For makeup wearers, that added softness and slip can help create a more cushioned surface before foundation.
Use one pump.
More is not better.
Will Water Oil feel greasy?
Water Oil is designed to feel lightweight rather than like a traditional heavy facial oil.
Use one pump and press it into damp skin.
Follow with Water Balm.
Why do I need Water Oil if I already use Water Elixir?
They have different jobs.
Water Elixir supplies the lightweight, water-based hydration step.
Water Oil adds Squalane and conditioning oils.
Water Balm seals the routine.
One does not replace the other.
Will this help my makeup look better?
The kit is designed to improve the condition of the skin underneath makeup.
When skin feels dry or under-prepped, foundation can cling to dry-looking areas, settle more visibly, or look heavier.
This routine helps create a softer, more hydrated, cushioned surface before makeup.
Does the Ageless Beauty Kit replace makeup primer?
No.
This is skincare.
Each product has a skincare job first.
The makeup benefit comes from preparing the skin underneath foundation and concealer.
Can I use all three products morning and night?
Yes.
Use all three in the same order:
Water Elixir → Water Oil → Water Balm
How much should I use?
Water Elixir: 2 pumps
Water Oil: 1 pump
Water Balm: A pea-sized amount
Using more product does not automatically create a better result.
How long should I wait before makeup?
Wait about 60 seconds after Water Balm.
That gives your skincare a moment to settle before applying foundation or concealer.
What is the difference between the Ageless Beauty Kit and the Daily Hydration Kit?
The Daily Hydration Kit contains Water Elixir and Water Balm.
The Ageless Beauty Kit adds Water Oil between them.
Choose Daily Hydration when hydration and moisture are your main needs.
Choose Ageless Beauty when your skin feels like it needs additional nourishment and softness between those steps.
I already own Water Elixir and Water Balm. Should I buy this kit?
Probably not if both products are still well stocked.
If Water Oil is the only piece you are missing, buying Water Oil individually is simpler.
Choose the Ageless Beauty Kit when you are ready to replenish all three or want to start the complete three-step routine from scratch.
How much do I save?
Water Elixir, Water Oil, and Water Balm have a combined retail value of $199.
The Ageless Beauty Kit is $189, so you save $10.
Auto Replenish is $179 every 90 days, saving $20 per order.
Where is the Ageless Beauty Kit made?
Water Elixir, Water Oil, and Water Balm are all made in Japan.
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
Skincare is personal.
If the Ageless Beauty Kit is not the right fit, return it within 30 days for a full refund.
No questions asked.

The best makeup skin prep starts the night before.
If you wake up with skin that looks dull, feels tight, or makes makeup harder than it should be, your nighttime routine may be missing the right layers. This five-step evening ritual cleanses, hydrates, nourishes, comforts, and seals in moisture so skin feels softer, smoother, and better prepared for morning.
Wake up to skin that feels like you actually did your skincare.
You did your routine last night.
So why does your skin still feel tight in the morning?
Why does it look dull?
Why does foundation still grab onto dry areas and make your skin look worse?
More products are not necessarily the answer.
The right nighttime layers, in the right order, are.
The Overnight Recovery Kit is the complete five-step evening routine I recommend when you want your nighttime skincare to actually show up in the way your skin looks and feels the next morning.
Cleanse. Hydrate. Smooth the look of the eye area. Add nourishing lipids. Seal it all in.
Then go to bed.
By morning, skin feels softer, more comfortable, and better prepared for whatever comes next. Including makeup.
Why nighttime matters for your makeup
Most people think skin prep starts five minutes before foundation.
It does not.
Some of the best makeup prep happens the night before.
When skin feels dry, tight, or rough in the morning, foundation has a harder surface to sit on. It can catch on dry-looking areas. Concealer can make the under-eye look more textured. Makeup can look heavier than you wanted.
A thoughtful evening routine gives your skin a better starting point.
You wake up with skin that feels more comfortable and looks smoother. Morning prep gets easier. Makeup has a better canvas.
The five-step evening routine
1. Japanese Cleansing Oil
Melts away makeup, SPF, and the day’s buildup without leaving skin feeling stripped.
This is where the routine starts. You cannot properly layer skincare over yesterday.
2. Water Elixir
A lightweight hydrating essence with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, nano ceramides, amino acids, and Japanese Onsen minerals.
It gives skin the water it has been asking for without leaving a heavy, sticky layer behind.
3. Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
A peptide-rich eye gel that hydrates and helps the under-eye look smoother.
Use it at night as your dedicated eye step. In the morning, a smoother-looking, well-hydrated under-eye gives concealer a better surface to sit on.
4. Water Oil
A lightweight facial oil with squalane, sea buckthorn, rice bran oil, ceramides, fatty acids, and an oil-compatible peptide.
This is the nourishing step for skin that can still feel dry even after you moisturize.
It adds the lipid-rich layer that water alone cannot provide.
5. Intense Barrier Cream
The richest step in the routine.
It surrounds skin in lasting moisture and helps support a softer, more comfortable-looking moisture barrier overnight.
This is why Water Balm is not included in this kit. Intense Barrier Cream takes the final sealing position in this dedicated evening routine.
This kit is for you if...
You wake up and your skin still feels tight.
Your face looks dull in the morning even though you used skincare the night before.
Foundation tends to catch on dry-looking areas.
Your under-eye looks more textured once concealer goes on.
Your skin needs more than a lightweight moisturizer at night.
You are tired of buying individual products without knowing what order to use them in.
You want one complete nighttime routine instead of another shelf full of experiments.
What makes this different from buying another night cream?
A night cream is one step.
This is the routine around it.
You first remove makeup, SPF, and buildup.
Then you add hydration.
Then targeted eye care.
Then nourishing oils and lipids.
Then you finish with richer moisture.
Each product has a job. Each layer has a place.
That is the difference between owning skincare and having a routine that makes sense.
How to use the Overnight Recovery Kit
Use every evening in this order:
Step 1: Massage Japanese Cleansing Oil onto dry skin to dissolve makeup, SPF, and buildup. Add water to emulsify, then rinse.
Step 2: Apply Water Elixir to freshly cleansed skin.
Step 3: Gently tap Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel around the orbital area with your ring finger.
Step 4: Press Water Oil into the face and neck.
Step 5: Finish with Intense Barrier Cream to seal in your nighttime layers.
That’s it.
No twelve-step routine required.
The morning payoff
The goal is not to wake up looking like someone else.
It is to wake up and notice that your own skin feels better.
Softer.
More comfortable.
Less tight.
Smoother-looking.
And when you wear makeup, you begin with a better canvas before foundation ever touches your face.
Created from 35 years of working on real faces
I have been a professional makeup artist since 1990 and I am a licensed esthetician.
After working on thousands of faces, I learned something the beauty industry tends to separate into two different conversations.
Skincare and makeup affect each other.
The condition of the skin underneath changes how makeup looks on top.
That is why I do not start with foundation.
I start with the skin.
The Overnight Recovery Kit brings that same professional thinking into your nighttime routine. Five products. A specific order. A clear reason for every step.
What’s included
Japanese Cleansing Oil
Removes makeup, SPF, and daily buildup.
Water Elixir
Lightweight hydration and moisture support.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
Hydrates and smooths the look of the eye area.
Water Oil
Adds lightweight nourishment for softer, more supple-looking skin.
Intense Barrier Cream
Finishes the routine with rich, lasting moisture and barrier support.
A note about fragrance
Water Elixir, Water Oil, Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel, and Intense Barrier Cream are fragrance-free.
Japanese Cleansing Oil is not fragrance-free. Its noticeable scent comes from eucalyptus, bergamot, and citrus ingredients in the formula.
One routine. One decision.
Go to bed with the routine handled. Wake up with a better canvas.
Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit
Every face is different. Your prep kit should be ready for that.
The complete Sonia Roselli skincare collection for professional makeup artists.
Eight full-size skincare formulas give you options to cleanse, smooth rough-looking surface texture when appropriate, hydrate, add targeted nourishment, cushion, comfort, prep the eye area, and prepare the body when needed.
Not because every product belongs on every client.
Because every client is different.
Includes all 8 full-size Sonia Roselli skincare products.
Complimentary Skin Prep Brush included.
Free shipping on every order.
[ADD THE PRO KIT]
One routine cannot prep every face
One client feels tight through the cheeks but gets oily around the nose.
Another has loose surface flaking but otherwise comfortable skin.
Another needs very little under foundation.
Another needs more hydration before concealer.
Some skin can handle surface smoothing.
Some skin is telling you to leave it alone.
Professional skin prep cannot be one product or one routine for every client.
You need options.
The Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit puts the complete Sonia Roselli skincare collection in your working kit so you can assess the skin first and choose what it actually needs.
Use more where you need more.
Use less where you need less.
Skip what the skin does not need.
Stop when the surface is ready for makeup.
That is professional prep.
The Sonia Roselli Skin Prep Method
Professional skin prep does not start with a product.
It starts with the face in front of you.
Look. Feel. Ask.
Look at the skin before you touch it.
Notice visible dryness.
Loose flaking.
Oil.
Texture.
Redness.
Existing product load.
The areas where makeup usually struggles.
Then notice how the skin feels.
Rough or smooth.
Supple or tight.
Comfortable or reactive.
Dry in one area and oily in another.
Ask what you cannot see.
How does the skin normally behave?
When does it become oily?
Does foundation catch, pill, separate, disappear, or look heavy?
What has already been applied?
What finish does the client want?
How long does the makeup need to perform?
Where will they be wearing it?
Then choose your prep.
Read the four dials
Water
Does the skin need more lightweight hydration?
Oil and emollience
Does it need more comfort and suppleness?
Or would more richness create unnecessary slip?
Surface
Are there rough-looking or flaky areas that can safely be addressed?
Finish and performance
What does the finished makeup need to look like?
How long does it need to perform?
Then zone the face.
Because an oily nose and tight cheeks do not need identical prep.
A face is a map.
Not a bucket.
Apply. Observe. Adapt.
Apply a meaningful layer.
Then look again.
Did the skin become more comfortable?
Does one area still need more?
Is the product beginning to sit on top?
Is there too much slip?
Would another layer improve the surface or simply add more product underneath the makeup?
Professional prep is not about using the most skincare.
It is about knowing when you have used enough.
Stop when the surface is ready.
Then let makeup do less work.
What comes in the Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit
Japanese Cleansing Oil
Reset the surface when needed.
Melts makeup, sunscreen, and daily buildup without leaving skin feeling stripped.
Why makeup artists care:
What is already sitting on the skin can affect every layer you apply afterward.
When a reset is needed, Japanese Cleansing Oil gives you a controlled place to start before rebuilding the prep.
Made in Japan.
Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel
Smooth rough-looking surface texture when appropriate.
Helps smooth the look and feel of rough surface texture.
It can be used where needed instead of automatically exfoliating the entire face.
Why makeup artists care:
Loose flaking and rough-looking texture can make foundation catch more visibly.
A smoother-looking surface can make complexion products easier to spread with less manipulation.
Fragrance-free.
Made in Korea.
Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray
Fast surface prep for face and body.
A face-and-body exfoliation option for rough-looking areas when exfoliation is appropriate.
Why makeup artists care:
Your canvas does not always stop at the jawline.
Use it when appropriate to prepare rough-looking areas before body makeup, self-tanner, photography, wardrobe, or event work.
Not for sensitive skin.
Not fragrance-free.
Made in Korea.
Water Elixir
Lightweight hydration you can build as needed.
A lightweight conditioning layer for skin that feels tight, dry, or under-prepared.
Apply a layer.
Observe.
Add more only when the skin needs it.
Why makeup artists care:
Water Elixir lets you add lightweight hydration without immediately loading the skin with a rich layer that may be more than the makeup requires.
Made in Japan.
Water Oil
Add targeted nourishment where the skin needs it.
Use a small amount where the skin needs more richness, suppleness, or emollience.
Skip it where additional oil would create unnecessary slip.
Why makeup artists care:
Not every part of the face needs the same thing.
Water Oil gives you another option when lightweight hydration alone is not enough.
Press it into the areas that need it.
Leave the areas that do not.
Made in Japan.
Water Balm
Cushion the skin before complexion makeup.
A cushiony moisturizer that helps skin feel soft, hydrated, and comfortable.
Use enough to create a supple makeup-ready surface without overloading the skin.
Why makeup artists care:
Water Balm helps create a hydrated canvas so foundation can spread more easily and look less dry.
Made in Japan.
Intense Barrier Cream
Reach for richer comfort when lighter prep is not enough.
A richer moisturizing option for areas that feel especially dry, uncomfortable, or easily overwhelmed.
Use it where the skin needs more.
Not automatically over the entire face.
Why makeup artists care:
Some clients need more comfort than lightweight preparation can provide.
Intense Barrier Cream gives you a richer option without forcing the same prep onto every face.
Made in Japan.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
Prep the eye area without overloading it.
Targeted hydration for the skin around the eyes.
Use a small amount.
Then assess before adding anything else.
Why makeup artists care:
A hydrated under-eye gives concealer a more comfortable surface to sit on.
Better prep can also help you resist the urge to compensate with more concealer and more powder.
Made in Japan.
Complimentary Skin Prep Brush
Apply skincare with intention.
The Skin Prep Brush gives you a controlled way to distribute skincare across the face.
Use it to apply and place product where you want it before working it into the skin as needed.
Included complimentary with the Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit.
Do not use every product on every client
That is not what makes this a professional kit.
Choice does.
A client with dry cheeks and an oily nose may need different preparation in each area.
A client with loose surface flaking does not automatically need full-face exfoliation.
A client who feels tight does not automatically need oil.
Skin that looks shiny is not automatically well hydrated.
And skin that is burning, stinging, raw-feeling, unusually reactive, or significantly peeling is not asking for another layer simply because makeup needs to go on top.
Look.
Feel.
Ask.
Then choose.
When the skin is telling you to simplify
Professional judgment includes knowing when to do less.
If the skin is visibly irritated or the client reports burning, stinging, rawness, or unusual reactivity, simplify your preparation.
Skip unnecessary exfoliation.
Reduce manipulation.
Use only familiar, well-tolerated products.
Stop any product that increases discomfort.
Makeup has a job.
So does restraint.
Built for the realities of professional makeup
Bridal mornings.
Editorial.
Television.
Red carpet.
Photography.
Body makeup.
Long production days.
Different climates.
Different skin tones.
Different textures.
Different levels of dryness and oil.
Different levels of sensitivity.
Different makeup finishes.
Different wear times.
Your foundation may stay the same.
The skin underneath it does not.
Your prep kit should be able to adapt.
Do not prep by age
Prep the skin in front of you.
A younger client can be very dry.
An older client can be oily.
One cheek can need more hydration than the other.
The nose can need a completely different amount of product than the rest of the face.
Age is context.
It is not a protocol.
Professional makeup artists read the skin first.
Created by a makeup artist who starts with skin
Sonia Roselli is a licensed esthetician, celebrity makeup artist, complexion expert, and product developer.
She has worked on real faces since 1990 across bridal, editorial, television, and red carpet.
She also has reactive, rosacea-prone skin herself.
Her approach to skin prep grew from a simple observation.
Beautifully prepared skin changes the makeup application.
When skin feels comfortable, supple, and properly prepared, foundation can spread more easily and require less unnecessary manipulation.
But a full facial before every makeup application is not realistic.
So the question became:
How do you bring the skin closer to that beautifully prepared state in the time a working makeup artist actually has?
Not with one universal prep product.
By learning to read the skin.
And having the right options in your kit when you need them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I use every product on every client?
No.
The point of the complete collection is to give you options.
Assess the skin first.
Use the minimum preparation needed to make the surface comfortable and ready for makeup.
Is this a primer kit?
No.
This is skincare designed with a makeup artist's eye.
Every formula has a skincare role.
The professional advantage is having skincare options you can choose according to the condition of the skin and the makeup job ahead.
How do I know which products to use?
Start with the skin.
Look.
Feel.
Ask.
Then consider four things:
Water.
Oil and emollience.
Surface condition.
Finish and performance.
Different zones of the face may need different products or different amounts.
Apply.
Observe.
Adapt.
Stop when the surface is ready.
Can I use this kit for bridal makeup?
Yes.
The Pro Makeup Artist Skin Prep Kit gives artists options for different clients, climates, skin conditions, finishes, and wear-time needs.
That flexibility is especially useful for professional jobs where makeup may need to perform for many hours.
Is this only for full-coverage makeup?
No.
Skin prep matters whether you are applying concealer, skin tint, bridal makeup, editorial makeup, body makeup, or a full complexion.
The goal is not heavier makeup.
The goal is to prepare the skin well enough that makeup has less work to do.
Can I use the entire kit on sensitive skin?
No.
Do not assume every product in the collection is appropriate for every sensitive or reactive-feeling client.
Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray is not for sensitive skin.
Sexapeel Gommage Peeling Gel is fragrance-free.
Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray and Japanese Cleansing Oil are not fragrance-free.
Always follow the individual product directions and assess the client before use.
Should I exfoliate flaky skin before makeup?
Not automatically.
A flake is a symptom.
Not an instruction.
Loose surface flaking on calm, tolerant skin may sometimes be addressed with gentle exfoliation.
Skin that is burning, stinging, raw, significantly irritated, sunburned, or actively peeling is not a routine exfoliation situation.
Can Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray be used on the body?
Yes.
Sexapeel Instant Exfoliation Spray can be used on the face and body.
It can be useful when preparing rough-looking areas before body makeup, self-tanner, photography, wardrobe, or event work.
It is not for sensitive skin.
Why are Water Elixir, Water Oil, Water Balm, and Intense Barrier Cream all included?
Because they give you different preparation options.
Water Elixir gives you lightweight hydration.
Water Oil gives you targeted emollience.
Water Balm gives you cushiony moisture before makeup.
Intense Barrier Cream gives you a richer option when the skin needs more comfort.
Professional prep means choosing according to the client.
Not forcing one moisturizer to do every job.
What is Zone Prep?
Zone Prep means preparing different parts of the same face according to what they need.
A client can have an oily nose, dehydrated cheeks, and a dry forehead at the same time.
Those areas do not need identical amounts or identical products.
What if skincare pills under foundation?
Start by simplifying.
Too much total product, too many layers, friction, insufficient set time, or interactions between sunscreen, skincare, and makeup can all contribute to pilling.
Reduce unnecessary layers.
Use smaller amounts.
Press rather than repeatedly rubbing.
Allow appropriate set time.
Change one variable at a time.
Your foundation kit has options.
Your skin prep kit should too.
Eight full-size skincare formulas.
One professional system.
A complimentary Skin Prep Brush.
And the freedom to choose what the face in front of you actually needs.
Great skincare. Better makeup.
Free shipping on every order.

CTA: SHOP CONCEALER SKIN PREP
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
Your targeted eye-area skincare.
Hydrates.
Cushions.
Helps smooth the look of fine lines.
Helps the eye area look softer and more conditioned over time.
And when you wear makeup, it gives concealer a better-prepared surface.
Water Balm
Your moisturizing seal and smoothing step.
Water Balm goes right over Eye Gel to add another layer of hydration and cushion.
It helps lock everything in while creating a soft, smooth, makeup-ready finish.
Together, they are your concealer skin prep.
Eye Gel first. Water Balm on top. Concealer after.
WHAT IS THE CONCEALER SKIN PREP KIT?
The Concealer Skin Prep Kit is a two-step skincare routine made specifically for the skin underneath your concealer.
It exists for the person who keeps buying new concealers but keeps getting the same result.
Dry-looking under-eyes.
Concealer settling into lines.
Cakey texture by midday.
Powder making everything look worse.
Instead of adding another makeup product, this kit starts with the skin.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted hydration and peptide care.
Water Balm goes over it to cushion, moisturize, and create a smoother-looking finish.
Then you apply your concealer.
Great skincare. Better makeup.
WHY DOES THIS KIT EXIST?
Because concealer cannot hide dry-looking texture without sitting on top of it.
And more powder does not add hydration.
If every concealer you try ends up settling into the same lines or looking dry in the same places, the formula in your concealer may not be the only thing worth changing.
Look underneath it.
Your under-eye area needs skincare too.
This kit gives it hydration.
Cushion.
Moisture.
Peptide care.
A smoother-looking finish.
And a simple routine that works whether you wear makeup that day or not.
WHY EYE GEL + WATER BALM?
Think of them like PB&J.
They do different jobs.
They just make more sense together.
Eye Gel goes first.
It gives the delicate eye area targeted hydration and peptide care.
It helps the area feel cushioned and helps soften the look of fine lines.
Water Balm goes on top.
It adds another layer of hydration.
It helps seal everything in.
And its smoothing texture creates a soft-focus finish before makeup.
Then comes concealer.
Now your concealer is going over hydrated, cushioned, smoother-looking skin.
Not another layer of primer.
Skincare is the prep.
TWO SKINCARE STEPS. ONE BETTER CANVAS.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
What it does as skincare
Hydrates the delicate eye area.
Helps the skin feel cushioned and comfortable.
Helps smooth the look of fine lines.
Supports a softer, more resilient-looking eye area with consistent use.
Helps the under-eye area look brighter and more even.
Why makeup wearers care
Dry-looking skin can make concealer look dry too.
Eye Gel gives concealer a hydrated, smoother-looking surface to sit on.
That means makeup can apply more evenly and visible settling can look less obvious.
Water Balm
What it does as skincare
Delivers lasting hydration.
Helps skin feel softer and more supple.
Supports a comfortable moisture barrier with ceramides and amino acids.
Helps seal in hydration.
Creates a smooth, conditioned finish.
Why makeup wearers care
Water Balm goes over your eye care to add cushion and smooth the surface.
Its texture helps create that soft-focus, almost photo-filter-looking finish Sonia wants before concealer.
No extra primer layer.
No piling more makeup on top of dry-looking skin.
SKINCARE THAT DOES MORE THAN PREP
These formulas were not created just to make makeup look better for a few hours.
They are daily skincare.
4-Peptide Complex: Included
Supports the look of smoother, more resilient skin around the eye area with consistent use.
Amino Acid Complex: Included
Water Balm contains a full amino acid complex to support hydrated, comfortable-feeling skin.
Ceramides: Included
Help support the skin's moisture barrier and keep dry-looking skin feeling cushioned.
Niacinamide: Included
Supports a brighter, more even-looking eye area.
Squalane: Included
Adds lightweight moisture and helps the delicate eye area feel soft and supple.
Hydrolyzed Silk: Included
Helps Water Balm create its soft, silky, smoothing finish on the skin.
WHY THE FORMULAS WORK SO WELL TOGETHER
Eye Gel brings targeted eye care.
Water Balm brings the seal.
Eye Gel delivers:
Peptides
Niacinamide
Glucosyl Ceramide
Squalane
Glycerin
Skin-smoothing texture ingredients
Water Balm delivers:
Ceramide 3
A full amino acid complex
Glycerin
Sodium PCA
Betaine
Hydrolyzed Silk
Fermented Rice Extract
Skin-smoothing silicones
The result is a routine that addresses both sides of the problem.
Care for the skin.
Then create a smoother surface for makeup.
SONIA'S UNDER-EYE SKIN PREP TECHNIQUE
Want the full makeup-artist method?
Add Water Elixir before the two products in this kit.
Water Elixir is sold separately.
Step 1: Water Elixir
Press a thin layer around the eye area.
Use it underneath the eye and above the eye area as your first lightweight hydration step.
Do not drench the skin.
A thin layer is enough.
Step 2: Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
Apply a small amount along the orbital bone.
Use your ring finger.
Tap gently.
Do not drag or rub.
Give it a moment to settle into the skin.
Step 3: Water Balm
Press a thin layer of Water Balm right over your eye prep.
This is Sonia's finishing step.
It adds cushion.
Helps seal in hydration.
And creates that soft, smooth, photo-filter-looking finish before concealer.
Step 4: Let it settle
Your skin should feel hydrated and smooth.
Not wet.
Not slippery.
Not heavily coated.
Step 5: Apply concealer
Use a thin layer.
Add more only where you actually need it.
Then use powder only where you need it.
Water Elixir hydrates.
Eye Gel targets + smooths.
Water Balm cushions + seals.
Then makeup.
SONIA'S SECRET WAS NEVER MORE CONCEALER
As a professional makeup artist, Sonia learned that dry-looking under-eyyes do not usually look better when you keep adding product.
More concealer can look heavier.
More powder can make dry-looking texture more obvious.
So instead of starting with makeup, she started with hydration.
A lightweight layer first.
Targeted eye care next.
Then a thin layer of Water Balm over everything to cushion and smooth the finish.
That became her prep technique for dry, texture-prone under-eyes.
Prep first. Concealer second.
HOW TO USE THE KIT WITHOUT WATER ELIXIR
You do not need Water Elixir to use the Concealer Skin Prep Kit.
The kit works as a simple two-step routine.
1. Apply Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel
Use a small amount.
Tap gently around the orbital area.
2. Apply Water Balm on top
Use a thin layer.
Press it into the skin.
3. Let the layers settle
The area should feel soft and cushioned rather than wet.
4. Apply concealer
Use a thin layer.
Add only where needed.
Eye Gel. Water Balm. Concealer.
Simple.
YOUR CONCEALER MAY NOT NEED MORE POWDER
You know what happens.
Your concealer starts settling.
So you powder it.
Then the area looks drier.
So you add more concealer.
Now it looks heavier.
By noon, the makeup you used to make your eyes look better is making every bit of texture more obvious.
Stop adding.
Start underneath.
Hydrate.
Cushion.
Smooth.
Then use less makeup where you can.
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
PLACEHOLDER TIMELINE
Final timing should be validated against customer review data before publication.
Instantly
Skin feels hydrated, cushioned, and smoother.
The eye area feels softer and better prepared before concealer.
Water Balm creates an immediate silky, soft-focus finish on the surface.
After 1 Week
Skin may feel more consistently hydrated and comfortable.
Dry-looking texture may appear less obvious.
Concealer may apply more evenly as the skin underneath stays better conditioned.
After 1 Month
The eye area may look smoother and more conditioned with consistent skincare.
The peptide eye care continues to support the look of smoother, more resilient skin.
And the daily hydration habit gives makeup a better starting point every time you wear it.
REAL SKIN MOVES
We are not going to tell you your concealer will never crease.
Your eyes move.
You smile.
You squint.
You blink.
Some settling is normal.
The goal is not to erase every line.
The goal is to give concealer hydrated, smoother-looking skin underneath it so the makeup looks less dry, less heavy, and less obvious.
That is a promise we can stand behind.
THIS KIT IS FOR YOU IF...
Your concealer settles into fine lines.
Your under-eyes look dry after makeup.
Powder makes the area look worse.
Concealer looks good when you first apply it and cakey later.
Your current eye cream feels too heavy under concealer.
You keep changing concealers and getting the same result.
You want skincare that also makes sense under makeup.
You want fewer unnecessary layers.
You want to use less powder.
You want your concealer to look more like makeup on skin and less like product sitting on top.
THE SKINCARE BENEFITS
Helps smooth the look of fine lines
The Eye Gel uses a four-peptide complex designed to support smoother, more resilient-looking skin with consistent use.
Deeply hydrates
Glycerin, squalane, Sodium PCA, betaine, sorbitol, and other hydration-supporting ingredients help keep dry-looking skin feeling soft and comfortable.
Helps support the moisture barrier
Ceramides and amino acids help support comfortable, hydrated skin.
Softens + cushions
The combination of eye-area hydrators and Water Balm creates the cushioned feel dry under-eyes are often missing.
Supports a more even-looking eye area
Niacinamide supports a brighter, more even-looking appearance around the eyes.
Creates a smooth, soft-focus finish
Water Balm's hydrolyzed silk and smoothing texture ingredients help create a silky surface before makeup.
WHY NOT JUST BUY ANOTHER EYE CREAM?
Because this kit is not built around the idea that your eye cream lives in a separate universe from your makeup.
You wear concealer.
Your skincare needs to work with that.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted care.
Water Balm gives that skincare the moisturizing seal and smoothing finish Sonia uses before makeup.
You get the skincare benefits even when you wear nothing on top.
And when you do wear concealer, your skin is already prepped.
WHY NOT JUST USE WATER BALM?
Because Eye Gel and Water Balm have different jobs.
Eye Gel gives the eye area targeted peptide care and lightweight hydration.
Water Balm goes over it to add cushion, moisture, and a smoothing finish.
One does not replace the other in this routine.
Target first. Seal second.
DO I NEED PRIMER?
No.
You do not need a separate primer with this routine.
Your skincare is your skin prep.
Eye Gel prepares the eye area through hydration and smoothing care.
Water Balm completes the prep by adding moisture, cushion, and a soft-focus finish.
Let everything settle.
Then apply your makeup.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I USE?
Less than you probably think.
Eye Gel
Use a small amount.
A thick layer is not better.
Tap it gently around the orbital area.
Water Balm
Use a thin layer over the eye prep.
Your skin should feel smooth and cushioned.
Not coated.
Too much skincare underneath concealer can create unnecessary movement.
SHOULD I USE POWDER?
You can.
But you may not need as much.
If powder makes your under-eyyes look dry or makes lines more obvious, try using it only where you actually need it.
Prep first.
Use a thin layer of concealer.
Then decide if powder is necessary.
Do not powder automatically just because someone told you that you have to.
BUILT BY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS BOTH SIDES
Sonia Roselli has worked as a professional makeup artist since 1990.
She is also a licensed esthetician.
That matters.
She understands what skin needs.
And she understands what happens when you put concealer on it five minutes later.
The products were designed around both sides of the mirror.
Great skincare. Better makeup.

Is Water Balm a moisturizer?
Yes.
Water Balm is a daily moisturizer and smoothing skincare step.
In this routine, it is layered over Eye Gel to help cushion the eye area and seal in hydration.
Can I use this kit without makeup?

Can I use the products morning and night?
Yes.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel is designed for morning and evening use.
Water Balm can also be used as part of your daily skincare routine.
Will the kit stop concealer from creasing?
We do not promise zero creasing.
Faces move.
Some settling is normal.
The goal is to hydrate and smooth the look of the skin underneath so concealer can apply more evenly and look less dry.
Why does my concealer settle into fine lines?
Dry-looking skin, too much product underneath, heavy concealer, and too much powder can all make visible settling more obvious.
The eye area also moves constantly.
Better skin prep gives the concealer a better surface to sit on.
What if my concealer looks dry even when I use eye cream?
Your eye cream may not be giving you the right combination of hydration, texture, and makeup compatibility.
Try using a small amount of Eye Gel followed by a thin layer of Water Balm.
Let the layers settle before applying concealer.
Can I put Water Balm around my eyes?
Yes, in this routine Water Balm is pressed over the Eye Gel as the moisturizing and smoothing layer.
Use a small amount.
Can I put Water Balm on my whole face too?
Yes.
Water Balm is a face moisturizer.
You can use it over the face as your final moisturizing skincare step before sunscreen and makeup.
How long should I wait before concealer?
Allow the skincare to settle before applying makeup.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel is documented to settle for approximately 60 to 90 seconds before concealer.
When layering Water Balm on top, wait until the final layer feels smooth and settled rather than wet or slippery.
How much concealer should I use?
Start thin.
Add more only where you need additional coverage.
Using more concealer does not automatically make the area look smoother.
Should I use powder after concealer?
Only if you need it.
If powder makes your under-eyyes look dry, use less or apply it only to areas that need setting.
Will this get rid of dark circles?
The kit is not designed to remove genetic or structural dark circles.
It helps care for the eye area and creates a better-prepared surface for the concealer you use to even the appearance of darkness.
Will the Eye Gel erase wrinkles?
No.
It is cosmetic skincare.
The peptide complex supports the look of smoother, more resilient skin with consistent use.
It does not erase wrinkles or stop facial movement.
Is the kit fragrance-free?
Current product documentation identifies both Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel and Water Balm as fragrance-free.
Does Water Balm contain ceramides?
Yes.
Water Balm contains Ceramide 3 along with a full amino acid complex.
Does Water Balm contain amino acids?
Yes.
The formula contains glycine, serine, alanine, glutamic acid, arginine, lysine, threonine, and proline.

Current product documentation identifies a four-peptide complex including Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.
Does Eye Gel contain niacinamide?
Current product documentation lists niacinamide in the Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel formula.
Does Water Balm contain niacinamide?
No.
Water Balm does not list niacinamide in its current formula.
What if I have very sensitive skin?
Patch test new skincare before using it around the eye area.

Does Water Balm contain soy?
Yes.
Water Balm contains soy-derived ingredients.
If you have a known soy sensitivity, patch test first or avoid the product.
Does Water Balm contain silk?
Yes.

BEFORE YOU BUY ANOTHER CONCEALER
If every concealer ends up looking dry in the same places, settling into the same lines, or getting worse when you add powder, stop changing the top layer for a minute.
Change what goes underneath it.
Eye Gel first.
Water Balm on top.
Then concealer.
Daily skincare when you are bare-faced.
Skin prep when you wear makeup.

The Sonia Roselli Beauty Concealer Skin Prep Kit is a two-product skincare set containing Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel and Water Balm.
It is designed for makeup wearers whose concealer tends to look dry, settle visibly into fine lines, or look heavier after powder.
Wrinkle Smoothing Peptide Eye Gel provides targeted eye-area hydration and peptide care and helps create a smoother-looking surface underneath concealer.
Water Balm is layered over the Eye Gel to add hydration, cushion the skin, help seal in moisture, and create a smoother, soft-focus finish before makeup.
A separate makeup primer is not needed with this routine.
For Sonia Roselli's fuller makeup-artist prep technique, Water Elixir can be applied in a thin layer before Eye Gel, followed by Water Balm. Water Elixir is sold separately.
The kit does not promise zero creasing because facial movement and some makeup settling are normal.
The goal is hydrated, cushioned, smoother-looking skin and better-looking concealer.
