The best makeup remover you'll ever use (that you probably have never tried)!

I’m going to let you in on one of my best kept secrets as a makeup artist…

For almost the entire time that I was an NYC makeup artist, there was one product you would NEVER catch me without!

No matter the client, location or job - it came with me everywhere.

It had multiple uses from adding healthy moisture to a model’s skin to adding hydration and shine to dry hair. 

But one thing that most people didn’t know about it…

Is that it made an absolutely amazing (and all natural) makeup remover.

Can you guess what it is???

COCONUT OIL!!!

(You can buy some at any grocery store, like this one: Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil)

That’s right, your humble little jar of coconut oil. I religiously keep coconut oil in both the kitchen and bathrooms (yes I keep it in multiple bathrooms). The gentle oil breaks down even the harshest and hardiest of makeup (I’m talking to you waterproof mascara and liquid eyeliner). 

Since it breaks down the makeup so efficiently and gently, you can avoid rubbing and pulling on the skin like you often have to with less effective makeup removers and makeup remover wipes. 

Bonus, it hydrates as it works. Once you’ve removed the makeup, gently wipe it away with a warm washcloth. Cleanse your face as usual with a gentle cleanser to wash away the oil and makeup residue (my favorite is this one: Fresh Soy Hydrating Facial Cleanser)

Have you ever tried it? Let me know!
