DIY MakeUp Remover Wipes

STOP PAYING for make up remover wipes.  You are throwing your money in the garbage.  Seriously.  You can make your own SO SIMPLY and the ingredients will go so much further than that last package of makeup remover wipes that you just paid $3.50 or more for. 

Personally, although I like makeup remover wipes, I've never been able to bring myself to pay for them, so I've been using Baby Oil ever since I started wearing mascara.  Baby Oil because its the only thing besides that tiny little expensive bottle of waterproof makeup remover or the expensive wipes that will take my waterproof mascara off.  You see....I MUST wear waterproof mascara.  I'm an emotional person, enough said. 

I've heard it rumored before that babyoil was not a good choice for removing makeup, but I never really knew why.  Well, until recently I had never done any research on it either.  Until I came across this recipe that I absolutely LOVE! 

This isn't MY recipe, I'm a bit of a copycat.  And once I learned how GOOD for you coconut oil is, I decided this was something worth checking out.  The recipe I was following called for papertowels and rubbermade containers.  I think paper towels are expensive.  And I really don't have any room under my bathroom sink for a rubbermade container. 

So, here ya go, my version of this recipe:

You will need: 

Coconut oil- 1 Tblsp      (found mine @ Wal-Mart for $5.98 for a 14 oz jar)

             Baby Shampoo- a squirt                                                            

Water- 2 cups                                                                

A squirt bottle or jar or some other container (for storing)    

  (I used an empty shampoo container that I rinsed out very well)

Directions

Dump 1 tblsp of the coconut oil in the 2 cups water

nuke it for 30 seconds to melt the coconut oil.

Stir till coconut oil has liquified

 squirt a squirt of baby shampoo into the mixture

Stir again and VOILA!

Pour your makeup remover into your squirt bottle and you are ready to go take off your make up! 

The most expensive item on the ingredient list is the coconut oil, but

it will last FOREVER! And you can cook with it too. 

Google the health benefits of Coconut Oil...you'll be rushing out to make this too!
