8. DIY EYE MAKEUP REMOVER WITH ESSENTIAL OILS FROM STEPHANIE BLUE

When creating any sort of skin care product, frankincense and lavender essential oils are a popular choice, as frankincense tones the skin and lavender is both calming and soothing.

This recipe is incredibly easy to follow. You simply take a roller bottle and fill it with fractionated coconut oil or almond oil, before adding 5 drops each of frankincense and lavender essential oils.

Shake well, then simply roll on your finger, apply to the eye, and remove your makeup with a soft cloth.

9. THE “BEST” HOMEMADE EYE MAKEUP REMOVER FROM WHOLE NEW MOM

After plenty of trial and error, this DIY makeup remover claims to me the best yet. It contains natural ingredients including witch hazel, jojoba oil, and filtered water.

Although the witch hazel in this product will help a bit with bacterial growth, it’s recommended that you only make enough to use within 3-4 days and store this in the fridge.

10. TWO-INGREDIENT MAKEUP REMOVER BALM FROM LIVE SIMPLY

A lot of DIY makeup removers use coconut oil as a key ingredient, but what if you’re allergic to it?

Or simply find that it doesn’t react well with your skin?

This two-ingredient solution leaves out the popular ingredient, instead utilising the powers of witch hazel and jojoba oil to remove your makeup carefully, safely, and naturally. Win-win!

This tutorial shows you how to use coconut oil on its own as an effective and nourishing makeup remover. It’ll even remove stubborn, waterproof mascara.

With many people already having a jar of coconut oil in their pantry, this is perhaps the most affordable DIY makeup remover out there.
