How to Naturally Remove Makeup

We all know how important it is to remove our makeup each day, but the cost of makeup removers can make that a difficult task.

But what if I told you removing your makeup doesn't have to cost a lot, and you don't have to worry about using the harsh chemicals that are in store bought make up removers.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Olive oil will not only remove your makeup, but it will also moisturize your skin. Smooth olive oil over your face and then wipe off with a dry soft cloth.

2. NonFat Dry Milk can be mixed with water and used as a makeup remover. Take 1 teaspoon of NonFat Dry Milk and mix with 1 cup of warm water. Using a cotton ball, apply to your face and then rinse and pat dry.

3. Cool Whip is also a product that not only cleans, but moisturizes your face. Wet your face with warm water and then apply the Cool Whip to your face, using your hand. Let sit for 5 minutes and rinse with warm water and pat dry your face. The oils in the Cool Whip is what will moisturize your face.

4. When you are traveling, you don't want to take the Cool Whip with you, so why not take baby wipes? Baby wipes can be used by wiping them over your face. Baby Wipes are great for removing lipstick, blush, eye shadow and eye liner. It will even remove oil-based clown makeup.
   
   The fact that Baby Wipes are gentle enough to use on your baby, makes them a great choice for removing your makeup.

5. If you have worn waterproof eye makeup, you know how hard it can be to remove. Johnson's Baby Shampoo will remove your eye makeup and it won't cause you to shed a tear.
   
   Squirt a few drops of baby shampoo on a cotton ball and wipe off that eye makeup.

6. I know we've all heard of using Vaseline Petroleum Jelly to remove our makeup and there is a reason for this. It not only cleans the makeup from your face, but it will also moisturize your skin
