Homemade Makeup Remover

Whether you wear makeup or not, it's always interesting to find recipes for homemade versions of expensive products.  Yesterday I stumbled upon a recipe for makeup remover that set me upon a search for more homemade versions.

Why are so many makeup removers blue?


Strangely enough, they all seemed to be similar in composition, so I decided to share two of the recipes with you.


NON WATERPROOF MAKEUP REMOVER


1 cup water or alcohol free witch hazel
1 tablespoon tear free baby wash


WATERPROOF MAKEUP REMOVER


3/4 cup water or alcohol free witch hazel
1/4 cup oil
1 tablespoon tear free baby wash

I went to the drug store to look at prices and the cheapest makeup remover I could find was just less than $5 for 4 ounces.  It's amazing how expensive such a simple product can be.

God bless,
Pam

    I developed a tear duct issue and use baby shampoo for those few times when I use eye makeup. Pure and inexpensive. Works like a charm.

    I like to use olive oil to wash off makeup in the evening. It's handy because then I don't need to moisturize.
