Don’t waste your money on commercial make-up remover. Not when an ingredient as simple as coconut or olive oil can do the job while simultaneously nourishing the delicate skin on your face.
If you want to go that step further and have some lovely make-up remover made up and on hand, then you must try this recipe. A few simple ingredients and less than 2 minutes of your time is all that is required!
You’ll notice I have INIKA make-up in the background… Organic, beautiful, lasting. Three things I am now very fond of when it comes to painting my face (not that I do it often!!). Oh, and they’re Aussies, YAY!! Adorn is another brand I’m loving!
