Natural Make up remover

I searched the net for makeup removers that you could make at home and wont harm or irritate your skin.
Ok so it took me a while to actually try these out as I don’t usually wear heavy make up. To summaries my look I usually just put on a little lip gloss, mascara and black khol. So in order to try these make up removers I had to have the full face on which is foundation, concealar, powder, eye makeup (the lot!) and I only apply that if there is an occasion such as weddings and such.

Anyhow let get to it so this is what I tried:

Milk powder make up remover

You will need
1/3 cup warm water
4 tbs milk powder ( I used full cream Nido)
Jar
Cotton balls

So its pretty straight forward all you do is mix the milk powder with the water and shake it in the jar. You should end up with a heavy milky mixture if you find it too light simply add 1 tbs milk powder or too heavy add a tbs water until you are satisfied.
Dip the cotton ball into the mixture and wipe your face in circular motion and keep doing so until you have entirely wiped you whole face with the mixture got rid of the makeup.

After that is done wash your face with warm water and your facial soap.

I got the recipe for this from Associated Content you can read the article which was written by Donna Daniels here

My review:
I personally liked this makeup remover I felt it got rid of the makeup but was disappointed when it didn’t quite take off my eye makeup. I had to go over my eyes with almond oil after having washed my face.


The benefits
Milk is a natural ingredient that is used in facials. It moisturizes your skin and makes your skin soft and fresh. So this make up remover is good for your skin. This make up remover is easy to use and economical. It is made from ingredients that you can eat so it is safe for your face.

Almond Oil

Another tip I came across is using almond oil to take off eye makeup. Simply dab some oil on a cotton wool and gently remove your eye make up in single strokes (sides ways for the eye shadows and downward strokes for mascara).

My review
I loved the almond oil it took off my make up but just be careful not to put too much on the cotton ball and don’t rub too hard as the skin around the eyes are very sensitive. You might feel its very oily but don’t worry the oil eventually gets absorbed.

General information on Pure almond oil
It is an excellent emollient (softening and soothing to the skin) and also helps the skin to balance water loss and absorption of moisture.
It is further a great moisturizer, suitable for all skin types, helps relieve irritation, inflammation and itching, and is greatly lubricating. Because the oil does not penetrate the skin overly quickly, it is a good massage medium to use to help spread the oil and essential oil mixture, while still allowing you time to do a good massage before it is absorbed by the skin.

Not only does almond oil help protect the surface of the skin, but it has great value, acting as an emollient, skin soother and softener, while conditioning the skin and promoting a clear young looking complexion. It also helps to relieve muscular aches and pains.
Almond oil is suitable for all skin types, but is especially good for dry or irritated skin.
