DIY Makeup Remover

June 10, 2014

You will need:

Scant 2 oz. jojoba oil (or use more if you have a bigger jar)
1 capsule of non-GMO vitamin E (Technically, this is optional but extremely recommended)
Optional: 3 drops of soothing essential oil (I use carrot seed essential oil)
Dark glass dropper bottle for storage, such as this one
Here’s what to do:

Fill the glass jar about 3/4 of the way with the jojoba oil. Prick the vitamin E capsule with a needle or the tip of a sharp knife. Squeeze the contents of the capsule into the jar. Place the lid on the jar and shake well to combine.

When you are ready to remove your makeup, use about 1/2 teaspoon of your DIY Makeup Remover. Gently massage it onto your face, especially the eye area. It removes mascara like a charm, just be sure you use enough to fully saturate the eye area. Then, gently wipe off the oil with a cotton pad (please use GMO-free cotton pads, like these) or damp washcloth. Voila, makeup all gone!

Cleanse your face with the Honey Cleansing Method or a gentle facial cleanser (this one is my favorite!).

Because light can damage and oxidize (rancidify) the jojoba oil and vitamin E, do not store this in a clear glass jar. The dark glass prevents light from oxidizing the oils.
