Homemade Eye Makeup Remover
14 01 2008Since I have blond eyelashes, I would be lost without my mascara.
Two homemade eye makeup remover recipes I’ve found are:
* Using an oil such as castor oil, olive oil, jojoba oil or grapeseed oil
* Using a mixture of baby shampoo and water
Natural Oils
I’ve been using Jojoba oil on a cotton ball to take my eye makeup off, because I read that Joboba oil was very similar to the natural sebum our skin secretes. It works really well! Be sure you rinse your lids with warm water after afterwards.
I found some recipes that recommend using a mixture of grapeseed oil and castor oil in a ratio of 2:1.
An Oil Free Alternative
While it’s a less “natural” choice, sometimes you just can’t have oily lids if you’ve gotta put more eye makeup on right after taking the old stuff off. In that case, you can use a diluted tear-free baby shampoo.
