Natural Ingredients to Remove Makeup

Just came back home after a long tiring day from office or may be a function and what is the first thing you want to do? Change and hit the sack. But what about all the makeup that has been sitting on your face for the entire day? All the dermatologists and beauty experts say that it is very, very important to remove every trace of makeup before we go off to sleep. Makeup products, combined with oil and dirt clog our pores and can lead to breakouts and other skin irritations.

We generally avoid using makeup products that contain too many artificial ingredients. But when it comes to makeup remover, most of us often forget the rule. Non natural makeup removers contain strong alcohol, which strip skin of essential oils and often cause allergic reactions. Using natural makeup removers is the best way to maintain a healthy skin as they take off all the makeup, oil and dirt without irritating the skin. And guess what, creating your own natural makeup remover is as simple as ABC. Here we have come up with few such simple and natural makeup removers that require maximum two ingredients to create. So let’s check them out!

Dab this onto the face with cotton ball and then remove it off with fresh cotton balls. Make sure no trace of milk is left.
