Break-up with your Make-up…remover
Recently I had to rush home due to a family emergency. Understandably, I packed in quite a haste and managed to forget a few things. Most of the forgotten items were not necessary, but what I missed the most was my make-up remover. There’s nothing worse then stepping out of the shower and looking like a scary clown, scrubbing your face til it’s raw.
So, with my MacGyver like brain (ok, this is probably not MacGyver worthy but I’ve done enough MacGyver-like things and I would like to keep this nickname alive), I remembered reading an article about using coconut oil as make-up remover. Again, being at my parents house, they have no coconut oil so I had to improvise. In my mind, olive oil was the closest thing and guess what? It worked like a charm! Just a drop or two on a cotton pad and voila! Makeup has been moved eradicated.
I’m quite excited that I found this great substitute because now I can save money on make-up remover and feel confident that I’m not adding an extra chemical to my skin. And trust me, when it comes to using olive oil as a makeup remover, a little bit goes a long way. I learned this the hard (and oily) way this morning… 😉
What things lying around your house have you found serves another purpose?
