Although we don’t bluntly say it, our makeup remover is definitely one of our favourite beauty products. Sure, we always look for our facial oils, we rely on our trusty sunscreens and we couldn’t live without our cleansers. But nothing is more satisfying than removing your makeup after a long tiring day using a natural makeup remover. To figure out which natural product best works for you, we’ve listed down five of the best natural makeup removers that you can easily find in your kitchen pantry.

1. Avocado. Other than helping you stick with your diet, avocado also works wonders at removing eye makeup. Just use a clean Q-tip to graze out some avocado oil to remove your caked up eyeliner, mascara and eyeshadow.

Plus, it rinses off really clean without blocking your pores, making it a perfect makeup remover for especially for people with acne-prone or sensitive skin.

2. Coconut Oil. If you have a rather dry skin, then coconut oil is your best bet in moisturizing your skin and removing makeup at the same time. Simply scoop a small amount of the oil and gently rub it all over your face to remove your concealer and foundation. Once you’re done, wipe it off with a clean tissue or cotton ball then rinse your face to remove excess gunk. Now you have a clean, but not stripped, face.

All you’ve got to do is dab a cotton pad in a cup of milk and rub it all your face, including your eyelids. Not only will this remove your makeup, it’ll also freshen up and exfoliate your skin.
