Have you ever tried Coconut oil as makeup remover? Well, I’ve tried it for you!
I always enjoyed taking care of myself and playing with makeup. However, removing it always bothered me because it usually takes forever and because I often find my skin irritated afterwards. I have tried a couple of brands here and there that were good but I needed something better. So I tried Coconut oil!
What to buy?
Oh gosh, I had no clue what to buy or where. To be honest, I did not make any research on it. Like some of you, Ive seen some Instagram stories about it, but I’ve never really paid attention to the brands. All I knew was that I wanted to try pure Coconut oil with no added ingredients!
This is what happened:
Last month, while I was grocery shopping at Trader Joe’s I founded it! Yes, at the grocery store, it was all I wanted, pure coconut oil! Shelved between the olive oils and pasta! LOL
I have been using it everyday for a months now! Here is what I think.
What I love about it:
- It remove ALL my makeup in seconds! This is probably what I like the most about this experiment, it is so quick! Even waterproof mascara is gone instantly!
- It leaves my skin very smooth with no redness or irritations.
- It is much cheaper than most makeup removers.
- I can use it in the shower!
The down side:
- It is oil, so it takes some time to wash off.
- When I bought the oil it was compact, however because I like a hot shower I ended up with liquid oil. It is a big jar so it makes it a little difficult to grab the amount of product I need.
I will definitely finish the jar, yes I still have a LOT, it will probably last me for an other 2 months. I am not sure yet if this is what I want to use in the long run but I will seriously consider it because it is better for our planet and has been good for my skin
What are you currently using as makeup remover? Would you consider Coconut oil as makeup remover?
