natural makeup remover recipe

i finally got around to doing some research and testing for another beauty product i was interested in concocting using natural ingredients......makeup remover.

i like this recipe not only because it quickly dissolves makeup, including mascara, but soothes the skin at the same time. it is also quick to make with only three ingredients: jojoba oil, vitamin e oil and carrot seed essential oil. 

the main ingredient in the recipe is jojoba oil, also known as nature's multi-tasker.

some facts about jojoba oil:

- ideal for healthily hydrating skin

- not actually an oil but a liquid wax ester 

- nearly identical in chemical structure to the natural oils in skin and hair

- extracted from the seeds of the jojoba plant indigenous to the southern united states
- is quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy residue

vitamin e oil is a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect the skin against damage and carrot seed essential oil soothes the skin and may even help reduce wrinkles. winner.

Natural Makeup Remover

2 ounces jojoba oil

1 capsule vitamin e oil

3 drops carrot seed essential oil (optional)

Fill a dark glass dropper bottle with the jojoba oil (i used the clear glass jar above to show the color of the recipe, dark glass helps prevent light from oxidizing the oils). Using a needle, prick the vitamin e capsule and squeeze the oil into the bottle. Add the carrot seed essential oil, tightly close the lid of the jar and shake well.

To use, gently massage makeup remover onto face, including the eye area, and then wipe off oil and makeup with a cotton pad. Wash face as usual and pat dry. 

i hope you like it too!
