Step 1Avocados

Avocados
I found a lot of recipes for eye makeup remover that called for avocado oil.  I had some avocados lying around the kitchen...thus avocado oil!

For this I just took a q-tip and swabbed the avocado.  You don't need to get a chunk of avocado on the q-tip, just coat it in the oil from the avocado.

I just use olive oil. It's quick, easy, and works perfectly.

What I like to do is buy a small, travel sized bottle from target or walmart (they're around $1)
Fill the bottle with 1/2 witch hazel & 1/2 olive oil
Be sure to shake the two parts together before using
It makes your skin super soft and it literally removes the most stubborn makeup.

Great tips!  I  use sweet almond oil to take off my stubborn eye makeup.  It seems to work just as well as some of the expensive makeup removers that I have used.   I also feel as though it is nourishing and moisturizing my eye area at the same time.   But I really want to try some of your mixtures as jojoba oil and olive oil are also very good for the skin.
Thanks for the great tips.

I love using olive oil to remove make up. I think it should also be noted that extra virgin olive oil is the best to use. Extra virgin comes from the first cold pressing of the olives and will have the most benefits, plus taste, and with each press (virgin olive oil, olive oil) it loses these benefits
