DIY Makeup Remover Wipes

A more natural alternative!

DIY Makeup Remover Wipes

First things first, you SHOULD be picky about what products you use on your skin! Your skin is your largest organ; what you put onto it is directly absorbed into your blood stream.

That being said, I try to be very minimal with what I treat my skin with. I no longer own any lotions but rather a multitude of oils and blends. The cost of makeup remover wipes can add up and I figured there was a more natural alternative!

These "wipes" are more so swabs- I usually just wear eye makeup and call it a day. So if you need full-face wipes, that's something to take into consideration!

You Will Need:

- 4oz Mason Jar

- Cotton Pads

- 10 drops tea tree essential oil (it has antibacterial properties! It'll keep the wipes fresh and smelling good!)

- 3 tbsp. coconut oil

- 4 tbsp. water

- Rose water (optional!)

**Obviously if you use a larger jar, adjust proportions accordingly!

Steps:

1. Place 3 tbsp. of coconut oil and melt! You can microwave it for about ten seconds if it isn't already in liquid form! (Coconut oil melts at 76 degrees Fahrenheit, so don't freak out if it is!)

2. Add 10 drops of tea tree oil and 2 tbsp. water

3. OPTIONAL: Spritz in a bit of rose water- it won't have too much of an effect on the smell but rose water is a natural toner so I always add it! (If you're asking what a toner does, it removes dirt/oil and adds an extra layer of protection for your skin! Rose water by itself is also a great product to add to your beauty regime!)

4. Add cotton pads into a jar and flip it upside down. Keep it flipped for a few minutes to ensure the cotton pads absorb all the oil!

5. Voilà! Use them within about 3 weeks! :)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
