Natural Makeup Removers You can Find in Your Kitchen

Just came back home from a wedding function or a dinner date with your fiancé or a party with your friends, what is the first thing you want to do? We are sure most of you would say, change and hit the bed. 

But, here is what you should be doing -remove the makeup from your face, before you go off to sleep. All dermatologists and beauty experts often send out this piece of advice to the girls.

First thing which come in our mind is, Makeup wipes and liquid removers. They may seem convenient for removing makeup, but they can actually irritate your eyes and hurt your skin over time. This can be drying and irritating for some people, especially those with dry or sensitive skin. Also, some wipes contain alcohol, which can cause stinging.

Well, the days are gone when you have to spend time rubbing that stubborn mascara off your eyes, or buying a separate remover for normal makeup and eye makeup.

Here are a few natural ways to remove your makeup and refresh your skin without the use of harsh chemicals. These are effective, cheap as well as very safe:

So, go ahead and try these out!

1. Olive Oil

Take 2 portions of pure olive oil with some water. Mix them well. Using it is very easy and safe too. But it is still better to do a skin patch test, before trying it. 

You can also simply soak a cotton ball in the oil, and massage that on your face to remove the makeup and dirt. Make sure that you use a tissue or a clean towel to get rid of the excess oil before going to bed.

Olive oil will not only handle tough makeup products with ease, but will also calm down your irritated skin. Plus, this ingredient has anti-ageing properties.


2. Almond Oil and Whole Milk

Mix a tablespoon of milk, and a few drops of almond oil, and dab onto your face with cotton balls. Remove it off with fresh cotton balls; making sure that no traces of milk is left. This is a quick remover recipe that can be assembled in short time. It will also leave you face refreshed.

Milk is an amazing ingredient for your skin. It not only hydrates and moisturises your skin, but also replenishes the essential nutrients required by it.

3. Yoghurt

Just dip a clean cotton ball in some plain yoghurt and rub that on your face in circular motions. After that, rinse it off with some cold water.

It moisturises your skin and cleanses it as well.

4. Cucumbers
Yes, this healthy fruit can be a great makeup remover too. Just mash one cucumber into a paste, and use that to cleanse your face.

Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, cucumbers are well known to soothe irritated and acne-prone skin. If the makeup is tough then you can add some milk or olive oil to it.

5. Jojoba and Vitamin E oil

Mix one capsule of vitamin E with 60ml of jojoba oil. Store this mix in a dark glass bottle, and use when required. It works best on those stubborn waterproof mascaras, liquid eyeliners, and blushes.

The jojoba oil is very similar to sebum produced by human body, while vitamin E has antioxidants necessary for protecting the skin from cosmetic damage. Both these ingredients provide a soothing and moisturising effect on the skin.

6. Coconut/ Olive Oil 

One of the most effective makeup removers that can remove the toughest waterproof makeup, just needs one cup of water with an eighth teaspoon of olive/coconut oil and one and a half tablespoon of baby shampoo (tear-free). Mix them and shake them well, and use as required.

7. Coconut Oil
You can apply it directly as a natural cleansing oil, but just remember to wash your face once after you are done removing the makeup. Now, apply on the eyes or face to remove makeup quickly and effectively. 

This magical ingredient can take care of even the most resistant waterproof makeups, like mascara, quite easily.Coconut oil is one ingredient that serves as remover, moisturiser, lip balm, and much more.

Stay Beautiful.

Vasline In Winter - A Boon

                                                         Jelly is the original wonder jelly                               

You might be surprised of all of the things Vaseline can do for you.Petroleum jelly is fat. It's a purified mixture of semi-solid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum -- yes, the same petroleum used for gasoline and diesel fuels and other products such as deodorant and bubble gum. It's a staple in our medicine chests as a topical ointment and it's also used for everything from shining shoes to silencing a squeaky hinge. Petroleum jelly is an oil-based emollient (it repels water), which makes it a long-lasting lubricant to smooth and protect rough and dry skin. How? Emollients help to replace lipids by filling in gaps in between skin cells. The result? Soft, well-hydrated skin. It works by creating a sealing barrier between cells, which locks in moisture and speeds up your skin’s natural recovery from dryness, helping it heal from within.

1. Plagued by dry, cracked feet? A pedicure may be the first thing you think of but all you really need is a jar of petroleum jelly, a pair of socks and a good night's sleep. Smooth a thin layer of ointment on the top and bottom of each foot before going to bed (the socks help keep the jelly on your feet, not your sheets) and wake up in the morning to find hard skin has been softened and cracks gone. By healing dry, cracked and calloused skin, feet become more resistant to blistering and hot spots.

2. Our skin naturally has a mixture of oils (epidermal lipids) and water to help keep it soft but too much hand washing, a skin disease such as eczema or just normal aging can strip this protection and cause dry, irritated skin -- especially on our hands. The oils in petroleum jelly help to seal in moisture and the thick ointment stays on the surface of the skin longer than water-based lotions, promoting longer healing. Worried about greasy residue? Rub a small amount of jelly onto hands and cuticles until it soaks in and save the slathering for overnight when you can cover your hands with cotton gloves.

3.  When the external layer of our skin becomes dry, chapped and itchy,

it loses its ability to act as a protective barrier. Skin becomes prone to cracks, sensitivity and even infection. Pure petroleum-based ointments are hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic, nonirritating, nonsensitizing and contain no added colors or fragrances -- all of which makes these moisturizers good for babies (on diaper rash), adults and everyone in between. Daily use on our bodies not only heals dry skin by sealing in moisture but protects skin from further damage by acting like a barrier against the elements.

To get the most bang from petroleum jelly, add it to a daily skin care routine, best used as a moisturizer applied to damp skin after a shower.

4. Petroleum jelly plays an important role in wound care, in minor and major injuries.As long as they're kept clean, minor cuts and scrapes generally heal just fine without treatment, but petroleum jelly or an antibacterial ointment can help speed things up and possibly prevent or minimize scarring.

5. If you don’t want to pay a lot for expensive lip balm, makeup remover, or even facial moisturizer, then your answer is a tube of petroleum jelly. It can soothe lips; take off foundation, eye shadow, mascara, and more. It will even act as a moisturizer on your face.

6. If you’ve run out of your favorite shade of eye shadow. What do you do now? It’s easy — make your own. Add a bit of food coloring to petroleum jelly and apply as usual. This is a quick way to make stopgap blush, lipstick, or eye shadow.

7. If you want natural beauty yes, you can get healthy and longer eyelashes. Lather Vaseline all over your eyelashes overnight and watch them thicken, even without a prescription.

8. Use petroleum jelly as mascara! Apply it with your fingers on your eyelashes and nobody will EVER know you are wearing anything because it goes on clear and still gives your lashes volume.

9. Hide Split Ends:Haven’t had a haircut since your budget only allows you go to Great Clips for a quickie? Hide damaged ends with a small amount on your ends.

10. Melt Vaseline and one chocolate chip in the microwave, mix and let re-solidify for chocolate lip gloss.

11. Mix with sea salts to make a scrub.

12. Warmed up can be used as a night cream.

13. It can prevent chilling of the face due to evaporation of skin moisture during cold weather.

14. Want a scent to last hours longer?

Then apply some Vaseline to the points where you spray your perfume, then spray your perfume on top of the Vaseline.

15. Are you a frequent flier? Even if you are not, always apply some Vaseline to parts of your body that are exposed to the air in the airplane, such as: hands, neck, face.

16. Mix some with aloe vera gel to create a quick healing lip balm.

17. Lubricates ear lobes and helps make earring insertion easy and painless.

18. Can protect against harmful hair dyeing.Dab a cotton ball in vaseline and used as a mask aroundthe hair line .

Beauty does not have to be expensive my dears.I am sure to save tons of money on products that you usually buy because Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) has so many practical functions that can be substituted for other more expensive.

Stay fresh
