My 2-ingredient natural

makeup remover recipe

It’s likely a long list of unknown ingredients that you’re adding to your skin each and every day. Plus, makeup removers can get extremely costly. Go “back to basics.” Here’s what I recommend: • Go to Walgreen’s (or a similar type store) and purchased a small, clear, airline-approved, four-ounce container with a snap close cap. • Inside, add two ounces of extra-virgin olive oil and two ounces of witch hazel. • Shake it up before each use. That’s it. You now have a wonderful cosmetic remover that removes even the toughest waterproof mascara in a swipe or two. I use 3 cotton balls...one to remove makeup from one eye, one to remove makeup from the other eye, and the third for the rest of my face. When I’m done removing the makeup, I simply rinse with water and dry. Back to Organizing Quick Tips Index
