DIY Make-up Remover Cloths

Sleeping in your make-up can lead to clogged pores, acne, and collagen breakdown resulting in fine lines. It is important to give your skin the chance to breath so that it can stay clear and healthy.

These make-up cloths are quick, easy and inexpensive to make. Even more important: they do not include any of the harsh chemicals that can be found in some store-bought versions.  

Use a cloth to remove your make-up at the end of the day, then wash your face with your favorite cleanser. 


What you need:

  • paper towel
  • container with lid (an empty baby wipe container would be great)
  • 4 cups warm water
  • 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1-2 squirts baby wash
  • a few drops of tea tree oil


Directions:

  • Cut sheets of paper towel in half ,
  • Mix all other ingredients until coconut oil is fully dissolved.
  • Soak paper towel in the solution.
  • Store in your chosen container.

*Note: Warm water is needed to melt the coconut oil. Tea tree oil prevents the cloths from growing mold.
