Makeup Remover & Body Lotion

I told you about my makeup remover & body lotion in my skincare post. Here's how I mix it up.


I use this for both the makeup remover & body lotion. Coconut oil is, well, awesome. Vitamin E is an antioxidant. It helps heal scars & reduces puffiness under your eyes. I'm thinking about adding some shea butter to the mix for the body lotion (not makeup remover). If I test it out, I'll let you know. You can find my favorite coconut oil here.

This vitamin E uses olive oil as the carrier. Those are the only 2 ingredients. Be sure to check the label before you purchase. Some brands have lots of ingredients.

I add a layer of coconut oil, layer of vitamin E, repeat. This makes it easier to mix. I add about a teaspoon of vitamin E with each layer. About 2 tablespoons total.






I bought this coconut oil about 2 hours ago. I made toothpaste and this. I'm already a quarter of the way through this big 54 oz. jug. I go through this stuff like crazy. And the funny thing, I never finish the last few tablespoons of the last container of oil until I get another one. So for about 4 or 5 days, I've had a few tblsp. in an otherwise empty container and wouldn't use it. You know, just in case. Like I'm going to have a coconut oil emergency. I added those last drops to my vitamin E mix.
 
 
To remove makeup, wipe the coconut oil on your face, then wipe off. That's it!
 


I'm wearing gel eye liner today. That stuff is messy.

  2. How much of the coconut oil do you use?

    1. Very minimal. I dip 2 fingers in the coconut oil / vitamin e mix and wipe on my eyes, then wipe off. That's it! So just enough to rub in.
