The Best Makeup Removers In Your Kitchen

woman face perfect skin

On a budget but still like your face beat? Not to worry, there are plenty of ways to keep you skin clean and healthy. Makeup removers can be expensive and most of them don't really get the job done. Instead, try any of these items straight out of your kitchen, and your face and wallet will thank you later!

1. Oil Cleanse

The problem with a lot of typical makeup removers is they strip your delicate facial skin. The eye area is especially vulnerable to the harshness of everyday cleansers. Natural oils, such as coconut or olive oil are great for this because not only do they cling to that all day wear mascara, they moisturize and soften the skin as they work. The natural oils are great also because they won't clog your pores, if used properly.

2. Milk 

Who doesn't love a milk bath? The fat and proteins found in milk are great for the skin, and help to keep it hydrated. Use of milk topically is also great for soothing the skin. Mix about a tablespoon of milk with some almond oil and...... rub all over the face. Make-up free and refreshed is what your face will look like!

3. Cucumber

Cucumbers are great for the face. We all know about how well they work on dark eye circles! They are both refreshing and cool, and their nutritional properties offer anti-inflammatory benefits for irritated or acne prone skin. For makeup removal, try blending some cucumber into a paste and use as a cleanser on your face. For thicker and tougher to remove makeup add a bit of natural oil.

4. Yogurt

It's great as a moisturizer, but just as good as a makeup remover. Try taking plain yogurt and rubbing it over your face with a cotton ball or your fingers. Watch the makeup slide away!
