DIY Makeup Remover Wipes: Quick, Easy & Affordable


*No need to waste money on makeup remover wipes every month when you can easily make your own!! The instructions for these are so easy. The witch hazel has amazing benefits for your skin and is a great alternative to many of the products out there that are probably drying your skin out! I wash my face sometimes three times a day (morning, night, & mid-day after a workout), so having these wipes on hand has been a huge time-saver to quickly and effectively remove my everyday makeup! The drops of essential oils add a nice scent if you don’t love the smell of the witch hazel. You can also add a tablespoon or two of oil (EVOO, Coconut, etc.) which also has added benefits to your skin! Follow up with your regular cleansing and skincare routine. A good moisturizer is always recommended twice a day, every day!  **Note- you should NOT use this on your eyes. Stay tuned for my DIY eye makeup remover wipes.

Materials:

  • 3-4 tbsp witch hazel (alcohol-free is best)

  • 3-4 tbsp water

  • small mason jar with lid

  • cotton pads (as many as you can fit in your jar)

  • 3 drops essential oil (**optional**lavender is nice**) OR rosewater


Directions:

  1. Place half of your cotton pads into the mason jar and fill with equal parts water and witch hazel.If you are using an essential oil add 1 drop to start. 

  2. Shake it quick and then add the other half of cotton pads to the jar and add equal parts water and witch hazel. Add the remainder of your essential oil drops here.  

  3. Shake the jar one last time and store on your vanity or in your bathroom cabinet for daily use!
