Olive oil is typically found in your kitchen pantry, but now in your medicine cabinet? The high quality oil is great for more than sauteing your favorite veggies! Try using olive oil as an eye makeup remover. Not only is this method more affordable, but it is much better for your delicate eye area skin and more effective.
Many cosmetic brands use a synthetic oil in their eye makeup removers, but if you have ever tried brands such as Lancome or Chanel then you know that their removers are not all that they are cracked up to be. Not to mention the fact that they are not worth the almost $3o price tag! Oil is known for literally melting off your eye makeup and this is why the ingredient has been ever so popular when used in mainstream beauty makeup removers.
After being irritated for years from fragrance and synthetic eye makeup removers, I tried Jojoba Oil and had great results! Jojoba Oil is found in many beauty products and is a great natural moisturizer for the skin, hair and nails, as is olive oil. Jojoba Oil is also a great alternative to Olive Oil if you can’t stomach the aroma.
If you have trouble with your eye makeup lasting throughout the day and end up looking like a raccoon, then opt for waterproof eye makeup products. In the past many women would avoid using waterproof products because of the difficulty removing them. Now that you can remove your eye makeup quickly and for less money… give that waterproof eye liner!
Here is a video on how I use Olive Oil to remove my waterproof eye makeup.
