DIY Makeup Wipes

I shared this recipe on the Buzz awhile back but it is worth repeating. This what you need to make up a small, 4-ounce jar (such as a mason jar).

Servings 4 -ounce jar

1/4 cup warm water
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon liquid Castile soap I used Dr. Bronner’s Lavender
1/2 tablespoon fractionated liquid coconut oil (like this)
4 drops essential oils of choice I use a combination of lavender and ylang ylang
Round cotton pads

Mix all of the ingredients except for the cotton pads in measuring cup. Set the cup aside.
Take a stack of cotton pads and put them in the jar. Fill the jar to the top then scrunch them down and add a few more.
Pour the wet ingredients over the cotton pads then put a lid on your container. It takes a few minutes but they will soak up the liquid. To ensure that all of the pads are evenly soaked, let them sit for 30 minutes then turn your tightly capped container upside down for 30 minutes.
That’s it. When you are ready to take off makeup (or wipe down a sweaty, grimy face), remove a pad and use it to clean things up. The coconut oil ensures that you face stays nice and moist. The essential oils add skin healing properties plus fragrance.
I like making this up in small batches because the small jars fit nicely in a drawer but this DIY can easily be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled.
