Avocado: All you need is a fresh avocado and a q-tip to make some makeup removing magic happen. Gently swab the avocado to pick up the nourishing oils (no need to take out any chunks), and watch those raccoon eyes disappear. Plus, the omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, D and E found in avocado oil double as a moisture-rice eye cream.
Grape Seed Oil: This lighter remover is one of my go-tos. Use a little cotton pad to soak up some grape seed goodness and you’ll be fresh-faced in no time. Multitasking tip: use grapeseed oil on your entire face to prevent acne, clear up sun spots and kick wrinkles to the curb.
Cucumber Slices: There’s a reason everyone’s mental image of an at-home facial involves cucumber slices. Although they’ve become synonymous with depuffing eyes, they’re also a great way to wipe off makeup the all natural way (and you look pretty awesome laying on your couch with cucumber eyes too.)
Jojoba Oil: Awkward name aside, Jojoba (ho-ho-bah) means business. For makeup remover, mix 2 parts water to 1 part Jojoba oil and voilá! Say adios to those stubborn mascaras and eyeliners. I also use Jojoba oil as a moisturizer, cuticle cream, or even as a warm hair masque.
Coconut Oil: Is there anything coconut oil can’t do? Hair smoother, skin soother, teeth and gum cleaner . . . Check out Meghan’s post from Lash Week on DIY coconut oil makeup remover and see how she uses her own mix in her daily skincare routine.
