eye makeup remover
Jokes on you if you expected to find a sustainable eye makeup remover, because I have been trying to find one for a while, unsuccessfully, but little did I know, it was right there in front of me on my kitchen shelf. COCONUT OIL! Just get some liquid coconut oil, or microwave the unrefined coconut oil, and put it on your reusable cotton swab. IT’S THAT EASY! Coconut oil has never irritated my eyes and I have very sensitive eyes, and need hypo-allergenic makeup etc. so this should be a safe option for most people! If your facial skin is especially sensitive to coconut oil, use a vitamin E oil instead! Both work really well, even with waterproof eye makeup:-)
