Tip of the Day! Makeup Remover

Friday, March 23, 2012

Recently, I ran out of my makeup remover.  I would probably not be considered a survivalist by any means because I only buy things when I absolutely run out of them!

So, what's a girl supposed to do?

Well, I committed the number 1 make up no-no.  I went to bed with my makeup on.  Most of it smudged off by the time I woke up, leaving me looking like a raccoon.  My skin felt like it had a layer of dirt on it and like it didn't get a chance to "breathe" at all during the night.  It felt horrible! (and, to be honest, didn't look so great either!)

If you find yourself like me and out of makeup remover, you don't have to commit the makeup sin!  Just go to your kitchen pantry and look for grapeseed oil.  Yes. I said oil.



Grapeseed oil is great for your skin because it is so easily absorbed and contains a very high amount of linoleic acid which is basically a fatty acid that is essential for your skin and your skin's cell membranes.  Grapeseed oil also helps with the building of collagen in your skin!  

Directions:

Use 100% cold pressed grapeseed oil.  Put some on a cotton ball or cotton pad and wipe your face carefully with it.  That's it!

Grapeseed oil is even great for hair so if you have any access left over you can run your hands through your hair.  Just remember, that how greasy your hair gets depends on your hair type.  

Make sure you don't get the oil into your eyes because it stings!

You should feel great now because you removed your makeup and treated your skin with an excellent moisturizer.  

I haven't bought another makeup remover since.  This is the best and most inexpensive solution I have found for my skin and I'm sticking with it!

For those of you who are worried that the grapeseed oil will clog your pores, I was worried about the same thing until I tried it.  The oil actually works with your body's natural oils so this should not be a problem.  However, it's understandable that you might still feel uneasy about using oil on your face.  If that's the case, use the grapeseed oil to remove your eye makeup.  I have mild acne once in a while and I used the oil and it worked as a great moisturizer on my face and made my skin feel more supple, but didn't cause acne.
