DIY Eye Makeup Remover

DIY EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

This the first post of several upcoming posts, and by the time I am done, you will have a simple way to make every facial skincare product you need.  

You will eventually have your own product line made by "YOU" once all of this series on diy skincare products is complete.  Wouldn't it be pretty exciting to make your own skin care line?  

The purpose of this series on DIY Facial Skincare products is to help you save money and be healthier due to the use of only natural ingredients.  Help make your budget stretch further.

The most important reason to make your own skincare products is to eliminate dangerous chemicals, preservatives and other harmful ingredients from your skincare routine.  This makes everything safer for your health.

Most store bought skincare products and even some of the so-called "natural products" in the stores, aren't always natural.   These products may have "some" natural ingredients in them, but there are usually some ingredients in them that are not natural, but actually harmful.   

READ THE LABEL TO CHECK THE INGREDIENTS LIST REQUIRED BY THE FDA.  Be aware also that the ingredients are listed in order by the amount of each ingredient in the product.  The first ingredient in the list has the largest amount used in this product.  Knowing to read the ingredient list on product labels is the most important lesson I can teach anyone.   

My rule of thumb is, "If you cannot pronounce the ingredient name, you probably shouldn't use it".  Definitely stay away from parabens, sulfates, pthlates, & other well-known harmful ingredients.  

DIY Eye Makeup Remover

I personally, make and sell all-natural natural eye-makeup remover, which is not quite as easy to make, but it is 100% natural and handmade, and I will provide you with this alternative below this post, if you don't want to make your own.  

Simply Pure4You also makes a fabulous "Lash Lengthening Eye Makeup Remover", with incredible luxurious oils which are great for the delicate skin around your eye area, helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles, moisturizes the eye area, and even helps your lashes grow, not over night, but within 90 days or less, you will start to see a difference, maybe less.  

If you use the product every night to remove your eye makeup, as directed, and really massage it into the base of your lashes, so it gets into the hair follicles of your lashes, it will help your eyelashes grow faster naturally.  Soon you will never need those fake eyelashes from the store again.

Our main purpose today is to hurry up and get you using a 100% natural product, instead of the typical store bought, chemical and preservative filled eye makeup removers.

DIY Eye Makeup Remover

1. Use a 1/2 oz. jar if you have one available, or you could use 1 ounce jar, and just fill it halfway.  It will last a very LONG time.  I first made my own eye makeup remover with this exact recipe in a 2 ounce jar, and it took over a year to use it all.  
2. I reuse old containers I already have at home and wash them thoroughly, after they have soaked in hot water, bleach and a squirt of blue Dawn.  There is usually always a way to repurpose old jars or containers around your house.
3. Coconut Oil (1/2 ounce) - You should never buy anything but Organic Virgin (or Extra Virgin, which is really no different than Virgin) Coconut Oil, and I have a picture of two of the brands which I think are fabulous.  (NOTE:  Babbassu Oil may be substituted for coconut oil in any of these recipes.  It's from the same family as Coconut Oil, but it has even more medicinal properties and other benefits to help you with your skin.  It is more costly and not as readily available at your local department store.)  
4. NEVER BUY "REFINED" COCONUT OIL FOR SKIN OR HAIR CARE PURPOSES BECAUSE ALL THE SKIN AND HAIR CARE BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL HAVE BEEN REFINED RIGHT OUT OF THE COCONUT OIL!  You always want to buy "UNREFINED VIRGIN COCONUT OIL" because it has all the health benefits still in the coconut oil that are so great for your skin. Click here to buy the Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil I like.

1. Vitamin E Oil (1/4 to 1/8 tsp) - Pure oil, not the diluted versions that have other types of oils mixed with pure vitamin e oil.  You have to really watch for this possibility, because it is way more common than you probably know.  Usually you can tell oil the thickness of the oil, because "true" Vitamin E Oil is extremely thick and a little sticky, and it won't slosh back and forth quickly inside the bottle.  The real oil is usually $5 to $10 depending on where you find the oil, which is very expensive, anywhere from $5 to $10 per ounce (possibly for 2 ounces if you catch a great price deal), but it will last for a very long time.  Also, it usually comes in small bottles (1 to 2 ounces).  Click here to order a bottle of Vitamin E capsules, which are a great way to add this item to your recipes as a natural preservative.  The capsules are so convenient and perfect to use in many all natural skincare product recipes, because they contain the perfect amount to use as a natural preservative in any product you make.

Directions:

Melt the coconut oil, but not in the microwave, or it loses all it's skin nourishing benefits.  Put it in a small, but not too small) glass mixing bowl into a small bowler (a 1 quart), add about an 1" of water. Turn the heat on the stovetop on about a 2 or 3 on electric stoves or a gas stove low to medium until the coconut oil is completely melted. 

Then remove it from the heat, take the glass bowl out using hot pads, and sit it on something the hot bowl won't damage.  Mix in your tiny bit of vitamin e oil, still very well, then pour into your 1/2 ounce container, and sit it in the refrigerator to solidify.

The coconut oil in this eye makeup remover is extremely moisturizing, and one interesting fact is that coconut oil naturally has a 4 to 6 SPF.  The vitamin e oil in this product is also good for moisturizing the skin around the eye area.  Both ingredients will help with reduce the current signs of aging and prevent future signs of aging.

This eye makeup remover will last a VERY long time.  We hope you enjoyed making this very easy project.  Next, we'll be making a Face Cleanser.  Make sure you have unrefined virgin coconut oil, baking soda, organic honey, "REAL" honey made in the area in which you live, and this fact pertains to the benefits provided by the honey.  

We normally use three essential oils based on skin type, but there are three that are beneficial to every skin type, and those are the three oils we'll be using.  

The essentials oils are not required to make this, if you don't have any essential oils yet, but they are very beneficial to your skin.  I will explain the purpose of each of the oils in the post coming up soon.  

If you can't find an organic honey made in your area, but you have real honey, not cheap honey that isn't really even honey, then that is just fine to use for now.
