Instead of using chemical-based makeup removal, you should opt for natural oil that will not only help to remove makeup from your face but also pamper your skin while feeding it with enough nutrients.
Keeping our faces clean and our skin glowing requires that we remove our makeup. Finding the correct technique to do so, on the other hand, isn’t always simple. Face cleansers don’t always remove all of the makeup, leaving dark smudges under your eyes. Many store-bought makeup removers contain potentially harmful ingredients or additions such as alcohol, preservatives, and scents, to mention a few.

Natural oils capable of removing makeup from your face
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera and a few other components work together to easily remove makeup while also cleaning and moisturizing the skin. Honey’s antibacterial and antiseptic characteristics help remove greasy skin while trapping in moisture, giving it a healing touch.

2 tbsp olive oil for dry skin; 2 tbsp sunflower or hazelnut oil for combination or oily skin
In a small jar, combine all of the ingredients. To make a paste, combine all of the ingredients in an immersion blender and blend until smooth.
Use a tiny spoonful of cleanser and massage it into your skin for 1-2 minutes to remove makeup. After that, rinse well with cool water.
If the makeup remover contains preservative-free aloe vera, keep it refrigerated in an airtight container.
