I was devoted to Nars Makeup Remover because of its mild and fragrance-free formula that can be used even on the most sensitive skin, and yet is strong enough to remove even waterproof make-up. Only a drop or two is necessary to remove everything on the face.
But last week, my Nars Make-Up Remover ran out so I had to look for a home “option”. My mom said she read somewhere that extra virgin olive oil can remove make-up and that she still has something left in the kitchen. I asked, “Extra virgin olive oil? The one where we dip our baguettes into?” And she answered, “Yes, the very same oil”. So I went to the kitchen and covered the mouth of the bottle with a cotton pad, tipped the bottle over, then used it on my face. In less than a minute… Voila! It removed my make-up, including my mascara!
Since then, I’ve been using it on my face — it’s natural, leaves a soft after-feel, and cheap. Moms really know best :-)
