Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 tbsp. avocado oil
• 3 tbsp. sunflower oil
• 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 cup dried marigold flowers
• 2 tsp. dried eyebright

How to Make Eye Makeup Remover

1. Combine the ingredients. Find a glass jar with a lid. Pour the marigold flowers and dried eyebright into the jar. Let them settle to the bottom and pour in the oils. Make sure that the herbs are submerged in the oils and not floating on top or the side of the jar.

2. Store the jar. Seal the jar tight and place the jar on your windowsill for four weeks. Allow the sun to infuse the herbs healing properties into the oils. Do not place the jar outside.

3. Strain the jar. After four weeks, strain the jar. Use cheesecloth to cover the top of the jar and strain the oil into a sterilized bottle. Allow the cheesecloth to catch the herbs and let the oil drain through to the sterilized bottle. If some of the herbs drain through the cheesecloth, then strain as many times as needed until the sterilized bottle contains only oil.

4. Pour the eye makeup remover on a cotton ball. The infused oil in the sterilized jar is now your eye makeup remover. Pour several drops onto a cotton ball and sweep over your lips and eyebrows. Use a few more drops and sweep the cotton ball under your eyes and over your crow's feet. You may notice the makeup remover improving eye skin tone immediately after it removes your makeup.

5. Seal the bottle and store. Keep the remaining eye makeup remover in a cool dry place. Use as needed and reseal the bottle to ensure quality herbal properties.
