No soap makeup remover!

For the past 2 years or so I've been washing my makeup off at night with Bronner's magic soap. Here and there I would hear these mentions of not using soap on one's face. I didn't want to add more stress to my skin by stripping it of it's natural oils while trying to remove my makeup.

A few months back I started using the oh so versatile coconut oil to clean my face at night. Voila- it works wonderfully! Now my face is soft and moisturized after I've removed my makeup, no more dried out post makeup skin. I still love Bronners for the shower and for my easy body scrub- can't beat that silky lather.



I purchase these cotton ovals at Target. Two is sufficient for my makeup removal since I don't wear that much to begin with, (you could also use a wash cloth). I keep my oil handy in this little dish.

To remove makeup- dampen your swabs- use one to smear oil all over your face, concentrating on your eye makeup the most, (keep eyes shut tight). Once you have loosened all your makeup, use the second swab to absorb the makeup and oil residue!
