What’s The Best Make Up Remover & Moisturizer?
Coconut Oil
The best make up remover and moisturizer! I’ve been searching for the best eye makeup remover and moisturizer that is safe to use. These days there’s a plethora of options that seems to just keep getting larger: all natural, paraben free, yadda yadda.. The frustrating part’s that even though these products throw these “healthier options” at you they still contain ingredients that can actually harm you over time.
When you’re in a ton of pain and the 3 doses of tylenol isn’t working should you just keep taking more pills? No way! It’s not safe for your liver. Then why on earth would you keep slathering unsafe lotions, cleansers, etc. on your skin? Skin is our largest organ and what you put on it is absorbed into our body. You want to make sure it’s healthy. I’ve found one item that I can be pretty sure won’t cause me any harm. Thank God for coconuts and coconut oil.
Coconut oil. This stuff is amazing. First of all, there isn’t a slew of ingredients to read through and research to make sure they’re safe. It’s just organic coconut oil. It smells good, tastes good, and it’s definitely safe to use as a skin moisturizer and make up remover. And, I’ve found it works better than some of my more expensive makeup removers! Eyelash adhesive and waterproof mascara is tough to get off but slather ’em in coconut oil and they don’t stand a chance. Hallelujah!
If you guys give this a try let me know what you think. I’ve included the link to the coconut oil that I use daily below, but you can choose any coconut oil you like.

I have coconut oil at home that I use for cooking, but never knew it could be used as a make up remover and moisturizer! I can’t wait to try this tonight 🙂 Thank you!
Let me know what you think! 🙂
I started using coconut oil a week or so ago to remove my make up and all I can say is that it’s amazing. The make up comes off effortlessly and it leaves my skin feeling so smooth. I also started using it as a moisturizer on my face and it has helped my rosacea. Thank you!
Hi Jamie,
What do you recommend using to remove the coconut oil. Cotton balls, a cloth, or something else?
Hi Kris! I like to use the round cotton make up removers … you could even use the pre-moistened make up remover wipes if you don’t like the oil residue left. (But I like the oil there for moisturizing!) Hope you like this idea for make up removal! 🙂
