 For an effective makeup remover that is gentle on the skin and effective in removing makeup, you can create a DIY solution using natural ingredients. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:

DIY Natural Makeup Remover

Ingredients:

• Fractionated Coconut Oil: 2 tablespoons
• Jojoba Oil: 1 tablespoon
• Witch Hazel: 1 tablespoon
• Filtered Water: 1/4 cup
• Essential Oils (optional): a few drops of lavender, chamomile, or tea tree oil for added skin benefits and fragrance

Instructions:

1. Mixing: In a clean glass bottle or jar, combine the fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, and witch hazel.

2. Adding Water: Add the filtered water to the mixture and shake well to combine. The witch hazel will help emulsify the oils and water.

3. Optional: If desired, add a few drops of your chosen essential oils for fragrance and additional skin benefits.

4. Storage: Store the mixture in a cool, dark place. Shake well before each use to ensure the ingredients are well combined.

How to Use:

• Application: Pour a small amount of the DIY makeup remover onto a cotton pad or reusable cloth.
• Gently Remove Makeup: Wipe the cotton pad or cloth over your face and eyes to remove makeup.
• Repeat if Needed: For waterproof or heavy makeup, you may need to repeat the process or hold the pad/cloth over stubborn areas for a few seconds to dissolve the makeup.
• Rinse: Rinse your face with lukewarm water after removing makeup, and follow with your regular cleanser if desired.

Benefits:

• Gentle Yet Effective: The combination of fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, and witch hazel effectively breaks down makeup while being gentle on the skin.
• Hydrating: Jojoba oil helps moisturize the skin, while witch hazel provides astringent properties to tone and balance the skin.
• Natural and Non-Irritating: This DIY makeup remover is free from harsh chemicals and preservatives, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.

Tips:

• Patch Test: Perform a patch test on a small area of your skin before using the makeup remover on your face to ensure compatibility.
• Storage: Store the makeup remover in a tightly sealed container to maintain its freshness and effectiveness.
• Avoid Eyes: Avoid getting the mixture directly into your eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
