Project 1: DIY Makeup Remover

I've recently decided that I need small crafts/goals to accomplish because I miss crafting.  This week I completed a few projects, but this post will just be about one - do-it-yourself makeup remover.  I was running out of makeup remover wipes and had read about some natural beauty products that you can make at home.

Amazon is pretty great, guys.  I ordered everything I needed for these projects from Amazon.  (The speed of delivery is pretty fantastic as well.)  For this project, all I needed was aloe water because I already had extra virgin olive oil.

Yes, that's all you need for this project - olive oil and aloe water.

Here's the website I followed: http://michellephan.com/diy-makeup-remover/

Here are my products:

Aloe vera juice from http://www.swansonvitamins.com/, via Amazon.  Don't mind the 'A Dietary Supplement' label.  It's okay to use on your face, as well.

Extra virgin olive oil from my kitchen.

Here's my mixture:

I have to shake this up every time I use it, so I simply put my finger over the top and shake until the oil looks mixed enough with the aloe water.

Now, you can use cotton pads, but I didn't have any in the house, so I used folded toilet paper.  I squirted the solution onto the toilet paper, enough to cover most of the surface.  I then wiped my eyes in one direction multiple times before all mascara and eye shadow were off.  (Warning: If you wear a lot of eye makeup, this may take a while to get everything off.)  I then wiped the rest of my face with the makeup remover.  All of this only took 2 folded squares of toilet paper, but I don't wear much makeup, either.  

I have to say my skin felt GREAT after using this solution.  For now, I think I will stick to this makeup remover.

Healthy glowing skin!  So fresh and so clean, clean.
