    DIY: Make your own makeup remover wipes at home

    Girls, if you love makeup (we are sure you do) and you use it almost every day then you probably spend a lot of money on makeup remover creams and lotions as well and rightly so. It is really important to remove all the product and clean your face before you get that beauty sleep. Here’s a quick DIY for your makeup removing needs which is not just inexpensive and affordable but leaves your skin feeling fresh as a daisy.

    All you need is: A paper towel roll, paper cutter/knife, a bowl, warm water, coconut oil, face wash and a jar.

    1_1

    Start by pouring some warm water in a bowl; add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and a few drops of face wash into it. Blend the mixture properly and transfer it into a jar.

    Now take the paper towel roll and place it into the jar vertically.

    Remove the cardboard tube of the paper towel roll before closing the jar & swirl the mixture so that it can reach to every corner of the paper towel.

    Cut the lid of the jar with the help of a cutter/knife in a square-like shape or an X-like shape as per your convenience. This space will let you pull the paper towel out for usage. 

    Voila! You’ve made your own makeup remover wipes at home.

    Now you can use these makeup remover wipes that not only clean your face but also keep it moisturised.
