Easy Homemade Makeup Remover Wipes

Purchasing commercial products that help remove your makeup often seems a useless wastage of money when you can make your own makeup remover swipes at home.

These homemade products are cheap and safe to use as they do not contain synthetic ingredients like preservatives.

Moreover, you can create your own recipes to remove eye makeup. As eyes are delicate, make sure you use natural and organic ingredients while preparing these solutions.

Thus, organic coconut oil is the most preferred choice in this regard. It has antifungal, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, coconut oil nourishes and moisturizes the skin.

Recipes For Homemade Make-up Removers

• • To prepare make-up remover wipes, cut a roll of paper towels in two halves with the help of a knife and insert half of it in a canister.

  Then, add two cups of distilled water, one tablespoon of baby oil and one and a half tablespoon of baby wash in the canister. Finally, let the liquid saturate the paper towels for at least half an hour and store in the refrigerator afterwards.

If you do not have baby oil and baby bath, just add organic coconut oil (heated in a microwave or double boiler to melt it) in the canister along with distilled water.
