does anyone know a 'recipe?' my skin is really dry and my cleansers and make up removers are too drying...
also, a 'recipe' for a follow up moisturizer. will applying extra virgin olive oil help?

I knew a good one that used ethanol one time, acetone also works nicely. Just dilute them in vinegar. :D

Don't listen to the first person... that's stupid.
Gentle Eye Makeup Remover
1 Tablespoon canola oil
1 Tablespoon castor oil
1 Tablespoon light olive oil
Mix the three and pour into a clean container. Makes 1 1/2 oz.
Honey Cleanser- softens and cleanses dry skin
1/4 cup honey
1 Tablespoon liquid soap
1/2 glycerin
Mix together and pour into a bottle. Makes 6 ounces.
Vitamin E is a good moisturizer... EVOO may be a little too heavy. Hope this helps!

You can use Canola Oil from the grocery or go to a health food store and get some cocoanut oil. It will be solid at room temperature but will melt on contact with your skin. Also almond oil is fantastic for this, also at a health food store. It smells great too.

Pure jojoba oil works as makeup remover, cleanser, and a moisturizer. It absorbs better than olive oil and doesn't clog pores.

I always use lotion..i put a dab of it onto a cotton ball and wipe away...makeup instantly comes off with it, and it moisurizes your skin at the same time....or to have a cleanser/cleaner/moisturizer, add lemon juice and sugar to the lotion...mix it well and rub onto your skin in circular motion with the cotton balls....works excellent :D

I use baby oil to remove my makeup sometimes... just put it all over your face and then get a wash cloth and put warm water on it and then wipe off all the baby oil on your face, it works well for getting rid of eye liner, eye Shadow, etc... also.

baby oil works well and it won't dry out your skin
