How to DIY Makeup Remover Pads With Common Household Ingredients

Tools and materials:

• Store-bought dry makeup remover pads
• Water
• Liquid coconut oil
• Baby wash
• Tea tree oil (optional)
• Bowl and spoon
• Small resealable jar

1. Prep your makeup pads container

Fill a small resealable jar with your favorite makeup remover pads.

2. Make DIY makeup remover

Add the following ingredients to a small bowl:

-   500 ml (2.11 cups) of water

-   2 tablespoons of liquid coconut oil

-   2 squirts of baby wash 

If you are going to use your makeup pads only on your face (not near your eyes) and you have acne, you can also add a few drops of tea tree oil.

Mix your makeup remover solution together.

3. Package your makeup remover

Pour the makeup remover mixture into the jar with the makeup remover pads. 

Go slowly when you pour, as the cotton pads absorb the liquid, the level of liquid in the jar goes down.

Keep going until your jar is full and the pads are fully submerged in the makeup remover.

Put the lid on your jar and shake it up gently to ensure the makeup remover is fully distributed and well-absorbed.

4. Use your DIY makeup remover pads

Now you can just remove your makeup remover pads from your jar as you need them.

Shake off any excess makeup remover, so they don’t drip, and use them to get all your makeup off your face and eyes.

You can see how well it works!
