Makeup remover and anti-aging treatment in one!

A client recently asked me what she could use to remove her makeup in the evening. She just started wearing more makeup daily because of a new job, and was finding that her everyday cleanser wasn't getting off all the eye shadow and mascara. That's because oil is often best at removing makeup. If you use a lightweight natural oil that won't clog pores, you won't have any need for a synthetic, oil-free makeup remover. Instead, buy a multipurpose oil like Weleda Almond Facial Oil. It's a blend of oils derived from seeds plus a little blackthorn extract. And, as a bonus, it's a night treatment beneficial for spots prone to wrinkles, like your eyelids and the areas around the eyes. So, when you remove your makeup each night with it, you're giving yourself an anti-aging treatment, too. Be sure to remove gently so you don't get oil in your eyes; close the lids and run a cotton pad over your lashes from the inner corner to the outer corner on the top, then from the outer to inner corner on the bottom. A cotton swab helps for hard to remove spots, especially under lower lashes.
