Ingredients:
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Aloe Vera Water (most drugstores, heath or grocery stores will carry aloe vera water. If you can’t find it, though, filtered water will work just fine!).
- A re-sealable bottle (you’ll need to shake up your mixture in this).
- A few gentle cotton pads (for application).
Recipe:
- Pour less than ½ cup of EVOO into a bottle of aloe vera water (make sure the container has a sealable cap for Step 2 to work). A little goes a long way with EVOO because it’s highly potent, so you’ll only need a small amount.
- You’ll notice that the oil will float above the water. This is because oil is hydrophobic, which literally means “water-fearing.” So before applying, you’ll need to really shake the mixture up and use it right away before the oil and water separate again.
- After thoroughly shaking the mixture, soak one of your cotton pads with it and gently press it over one of your eyes.
- Keep it here for a few seconds while it works to break down all the makeup, and then gently sweep it away from your eye towards your ear.
- You should notice your makeup is dissolving and coming off with ease.
- Repeat Step 3 until your eyes are completely clean, and then continue the same process all over your face.
- This mixture should not even feel super greasy to begin with, so remember; don’t be afraid of putting the oil on your skin. The aloe vera water will refresh and cool your skin while the oil breaks down the pigments in your makeup.
