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! :)
