Running out of makeup remover happens to the best of us. Luckily, these common household staples—proven favorites among beauty experts—gently dissolve makeup while nourishing your skin.
1. Coconut oil
Warm a small amount until it liquifies. Massage gently onto your face and wipe away with a cotton pad for a clean, hydrated finish.
2. Olive oil
A kitchen essential that's ideal for quick fixes. Dab on a cotton ball and swipe to effortlessly break down makeup.
3. Baby shampoo
Mix a drop with water for a mild cleanser. Apply to your face and rinse for refreshed, residue-free skin.
4. Avocado
Glide a cotton swab over a cut avocado—the natural oils create a perfect dissolving layer. Avocado oil works even better if you have it.
