makeup removing redefined

Okay y'all, if there is one thing I have learned over the past couple of years it is this: STOP WASTING MONEY ON MAKE UP REMOVER! Seriously, STOP!!! I am about to tell you something that literally changed my life. Oils will remove your make up better than those pricey make up removers and instead of stripping your face of oils they act as an additional moisturizer. You can also use them for more than one thing. I am all about multi-tasking products and this is one of my absolute favorite tricks! 




There are many oils that you can use for this but my personal favorite is Coconut Oil. Olive Oil and Castor Oil are two other options but coconut oil is my favorite. I buy my coconut oil from Whole Foods, it costs less than $7 and lasts me about a year, but you can get it at any natural food store. I literally just rub the oil all over my face and then wash it off with my cleanser (or whichever one I happen to be using this month). It works amazing and since it is all natural I don't feel bad about using it on my eyes or my face.



Other things I use coconut oil for include, my hair, as a body moisturizer, cooking…the list goes on and on. This stuff is amazing! About once every two weeks I use it instead of my overnight moisturizer. But more about that later...

  1. Yes! I am OBSESSED with coconut oil! I'm so scared of using it on my face though... have you had any breakouts because of it? I know a lot of people swear by it as a cleanser but that freaks me out! LOL

    1. Such amazing stuff right?!

      I haven't had any breakouts from it. I use it every night for my eye cream.

      I did try to use it as a cleanser and just found it didn't really do anything for my skin...but when I use it as a moisturizer it's great!
