Blog Entry #14- Natural & Custom Make-Up Remover Pads
As I become more conscious of what I am putting into my body, it naturally makes sense to begin to consider what I am putting ON my body. Shampoo, conditioner, lotions, soaps, cosmetics, and cosmetic removing solutions are really just deliciously scented chemicals- some more sinister than others. Turning my attention to products on my “most used” list seemed the best place to begin with replacing my store-bought products for more natural solutions.
I love going to bed with a freshly scrubbed face, so make-up remover was the first product I tackled. I have swapped my make-up removing clothes for homemade make-up removing pads. Using this “recipe,” anyone can mimic and customize their own product to their specific needs.
