DIY Makeup Remover Wipes


You come home from work, or school, or a night out and what's the last thing you want to do? Sit there and wash your face to get all your makeup off. How do I know? Cause I'm with you. Sure you can buy a pack of makeup wipes but lets face it who knows what's in them and they aren't cheap! Let's think of it this way, say you buy a pack once every month (typically there's 25 in a pack). It's about $6.00 for the Neutrogena makeup removing wipes, that's an extra $72.00 a year you're spending on a wipe.
 For me that puts a lot of things in perspective, especially when makeup removing wipes are so easy to make with things you may have at home, and if you don't already have them at home the products used have lots of other household uses. Today I'm gonna show you how I make my own makeup removing wipes!

Here's what you'll need:

- a jar ( I used an old tea tree wipe container)
- Cotton Rounds
- 1 tsp of Castille Soap
- 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp of Jojoba or Coconut Oil
- Water
- Essential Oils ( I forwent the oils because I used scented castille soap.)

Directions:

1. Mix up the castille soap and either coconut or jojoba oil.

2. Place cotton rounds in jar. Pour soap and oil mixture over top making sure to press down so the rounds absorb the mixture.

3. Pour in just enough water to dampen the rounds. Give a good shake.

That's it! Takes all of about 10 min. Your total investment if you don't have the supplies? It's about $23.00. If only using these products for the wipes thats $23.00 a year vs $72.00 a year. However, the castille soap makes for a great household cleaner and you can check out our article on Coconut oil here to see its many uses as well.

So if you want a great makeup remover thats easy, affordable, and you know what's in it; try this out and let us know what you think in the comments below.
