Gentle Eye Makeup Remover

Castor oil is actually a nifty way to remove eye makeup (who knew?). The following combo of castor, canola and olive oils easily takes off even the smokiest eye makeup.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon castor oil
1 tablespoon light olive oil

Directions: Mix the three oils together and pour into a clean container. To use: Pour a small amount of the mixture onto a clean cotton pad and gently wipe over upper and lower lashes and lids.

I have just started to use natural methods for hair and body. I feel it will be much healtier for me this way since I know what I'm putting on me.

I could not find a source for many of the oils in the island lip gloss. sigh

Olive oil works as a make up remover and a deep hair conditioner.

Going to make the gentle eye makeup remover tonight! Sounds right up my alley for being gentle.

@Chicharringuis..... do you just you that oil or do you substitute it for on of those oils?

by jessicalove Monday, July 23, 2012 at 10:25AM Report as inappropriate

You can also use grapeseed oil as makeup remover, I find it much more gentler and it suits my acne-prone skin

Corn mask is new to me. Tried melon (as well as cucumber) before. It has a cooling effect. Nice tips though.

I wish more of these were more available instead of having to look at a seed store or online. I love DIYs though and I'm especially eager to try the tea.

does lemon juice contributes to lost of hair colour? Especially for redheads? Ay thoughts about that?

by OrganicBeautyAu Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 06:43AM Report as inappropriate

Does the watermelon toner spoil? Do you have to keep it in the fridge?

by Statsurfgurl Wednesday, June 23, 2010 at 10:16AM Report as inappropriate

The Watermelon Clarifying Face Toner sounds awesome! I'm going to give it a try.

I'm always forgetting to eat the avocado. Now I've found a great use for it!

by DanaPowers Saturday, May 8, 2010 at 09:59PM Report as inappropriate

VODKA?! I think not. Haha, I wonder how I would look at the checkout counter with a bottle of vodka, claiming it's for my face. Also, you don't need all those oils to remove your makeup. All you need is olive oil. Why all the extra?

by moroselove Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 03:37PM Report as inappropriate

add a sprinkle of your favorite blush to make it tinted!!

by Sparkl125 Tuesday, May 4, 2010 at 03:27PM Report as inappropriate

Oh the one for the pool hair is great! I've spent many summers with green hair! Yuck!
