DIY Make-up Remover

I have tried every make-up remover you can think of from the fancy ones at Sephora to the cheap ones at Target and they either make my face break out OR make my face feel super oily and greasy. So I did decided to make my own! It took me about 15min that included getting the materials ready!

-2tbs of carrier oil (I used fractionated coconut oil)
-2tbs of Witch Hazel (alcohol free if you can)
-2tbs of water (distilled if possible but not necessary)
-10 drops of oil (I used lavender and frankincense)
– Air tight container (Similar to this one from IKEA)
– Cotton pads

Step 1 – Combine water, carrier oil, witch hazel and oils in glass jar and mix up
Step 2 – Add cotton pads and rotate until all the liquid is soaked up
Step 3 – Use! Squeeze out the excess liquid in jar when you remove!

As for my choice in oils – I decided to use Lavender because of its cleansing and calming properties. I chose Frankincense because it helps reduce fine lines and promote healthy aging of the skin!
