Removing makeup from your face is as crucial as putting on the right make-up. Taking it off at the end of the day can seem like the ultimate chore but as you might already know, sleeping with makeup on your skin can lead to clogged pores and breakouts….yikes! So be sure to wipe off every bit of those artificial elements that your face had so long been loaded with. After all, your skin needs to breathe. It must be thoroughly cleansed before you hit the bed every night, as that is the time when your skin regenerates and repairs itself, so that the next morning you’re glowing as ever!
There are many make-up removers available in the market, with different brands realizing its significance and cashing on in them. Of course, you can choose to keep them handy with you, but in case you’re running short of these, or they aren’t available on a given day at a given place, there’s absolutely no cause for worry! Below we have listed a few natural make-up removers that you can easily whip up in your kitchen. What’s more, they are extremely gentle and benevolent towards your skin. Just grab those cotton balls and walk up to the kitchen, and you’ll have a host of solutions lovingly natural to your skin.
Cucumber, to begin with, is a wonderful natural makeup remover. It can be made into a paste and blended with milk, and then simmered for 10 minutes. Let the paste cool off before using on your face ; it lasts for a week. Alternately, the juice of a fresh cucumber mixed with 1/8th cup of olive oil will also serve the purpose very well. Next, milk apart from its much-known attributes as being a very good cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer and what not, also plays the role of a super-effective makeup remover. A tablespoon of it when mixed with few drops of sweet almond oil makes for a very good remover, when you rinse your face thoroughly with this mix.
Besides, almond oil in itself contains Vitamin E, which is great for skin. Also, castor oil can be blended in a 1:2 ratio with other oils, be it almond or grape seed to make a natural makeup remover. Coconut oil and jojoba oil are also good options. Plain, unflavoured yoghurt also works wonders when playing the role of a makeup remover. However, make sure that you wash your face thoroughly after the clean-up so as to prevent bacterial growth from the dairy. Green tea, being loaded wth antioxidants, not only works to take off the make-up, but it also brings out the impurities that are buried deep under the layers of your skin. A cup of brewed green tea mixed with 1/2 cup of rice milk will never fail you.
These natural makeup removers will soften your skin while being gentle and are thus often a better choice than those manufactured by cosmetic companies, especially if you have sensitive skin. Not only do they have naturally healthy ingredients for your skin but they are also inexpensive. With the regular usage of natural ingredients instead of artificial products available in the market, you can watch your skin getting better by the day!
