Holding my hands up now and admitting to using a high street bought makeup remover. It seems a bit hypocritical using this as the reason I started making my soaps was to cut out the nasties. I’d tried the Body Shop makeup remover, and to be perfectly honest, it was just a bit shit, so I went back to using the boots one.
My lovely friend over at Sylvan Stories has used olive oil for years, but I was a little sceptical. Surely it couldn’t be that easy? Why doesn’t everyone do it? It would be so much cheaper too!
Today (yes, I couldn’t be arsed to take my bit of makeup off last night) I started with organic coconut oil. I don’t wear a lot of makeup, mascara and eyeliner this time, so there wasn’t a lot to come off…but come off it did! Amazing! The coconut oil is obviously solid, but as it has such a low melting point, as soon as it was on my eyelid it melted. I’ll be trying this over the next week to see how we go, as coconut oil can be drying.
So, I’m setting myself an experiment for the next 4 weeks.
Week 1 will be organic coconut oil (so this week 😉 )
Week 2 will be sunflower oil,
Week 3 will be olive oil, and
Week 4 will be sweet almond oil.
The first 3 are all ‘food’ oils which are available in any supermarket. The sweet almond it a cosmetic oil. I’ll be reporting back each week, with how they’ve worked, how my eyes felt and how well the makeup remover pads washed afterwards.
Eek, quite excited!
