How to Make Your Own Makeup Remover Wipes

By now, we all know what a lifesaver makeup wipes can be. You get in from a long night out, fall into bed, and then realize you’ve forgotten to wash your face. Skipping the Clarisonic and grabbing a wipe feels like cheating, but it isn’t! Wipes are a lifesaver. And we haven’t even mentioned the benefits of having a spare set in your gym bag.

The one drawback: wipes are so easy-to-use, they can run out quickly—and they can get a little pricey. Luckily, we’ve discovered a no-brainer DIY makeup wipe that’ll save you time and money. The best part is that the formula is easily customizable. You can use your favorite pre-made makeup remover or check out our DIY remover recipes. Or go for the remover we’re currently loving so much: coconut oil! Here’s how to concoct your own makeup wipe magic.

You will need

Microwaveable bowl
Purified water
Coconut oil (we used RMS Beauty Raw Coconut Cream)
Tear-free baby wash
Container with a lid that snaps into place (a clean sour cream or yogurt container works well)
Roll of paper towels (select-a-size works best)
Utility knife

Steps

1: In a microwaveable bowl, mix 2 cups of purified water, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and 2 squirts of baby wash.

Warm the mixture in the microwave for a few seconds and stir. Now you’re ready for the “wipe” part of the project!
