waterproof mascara - remover??

beingfrugal

Hi.

I'm really wanting to wash my face with just water but I do wear waterproof mascara (will look into this eventually - just starting out) Is there anything natural that I could use to remove it?

Conscious I'm contradicting myslef - natural but clogging mascara! Got to start somewhere I suppose.
Thanks

Any sort of oil - baby oil, olive oil - actually, engine oil probably not a good idea LOL Then a good rinse - that should sort it

Oh my! I cannot believe I have been spending oodles of dosh over the years on products when olive oil does the trick beautifully.

Thank you so much for the tip... it's kind of got me reading, seriously thinking aboutjust washing in water, moisturising with coconut oil and washing my hair with water till it replenishes itself in about 8 weeks to give me lovely locks.

I fear a major life conversion beginning here. I have been blind and conned by marketing for too long.

Blinc Mascara doesn't smudge or crease but will come off with just warm water

Google oil cleansing method, lots of fans on the health & beauty bit of the forum, going to try it soon myself.

i wouldnt reccommend baby oil, for some reason i seem to think that baby oil and baby lotion has some kind of ingredient in it which forms a barrier over the skin to stop the babies "doings" burning their skin. read somewhere its not too good for your face.

could be wrong..

Yes, baby oil on the eyes will cause milia - small whiteheads that never go away.
