Confession: I’m not the greatest when it comes to skin care.  I don’t always use moisturizer, I rarely use toner, and I almost never take my make up off at night.  You might ask why then I decided to make these DIY Makeup Remover Pads  – I’ll tell you, it’s for my sister Kate, queen of black eyeliner.  She’s partial one brand of make up remover cloths, which, though expensive, she swears by.

I love making my own DIY beauty products and I wanted to see if these DIY Makeup Remover Pads would work as well as her pricy cloths, so I decided to give it a go.  These are soft and gentle on your skin, but still do a great job of removing make-up.  My skin felt, fresh and clean afterward.  The best part?  They cost less than $1 per jar to make!

How to Make DIY Makeup Remover Pads

Materials

  • Wide Mouth Pint Mason Jar
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons baby shampoo (no-tears such as Johnson & Johnson)
  • ¼ teaspoon baby oil
  • Large round cotton pads
  • (Optional – a couple drops of geranium or lavender essential oil, both of which are good for your skin and a 1/2 teaspoon of Vitamin E Oil)

Directions:

  1. Mix the water, shampoo and baby oil in a measuring cup.
  2. Pour a little bit into the canning jar and place about 5 or 6 pads on top. Gently press down until the pads absorb the liquid.
  3. Continue adding liquid and pads until the jar is full.  I used about 40 pads.

      This is probably a dumb question but with the soap even though it’s not a lot do you have to wash your face afterwards or are you good to go to bed? Asking for a lazy girl… lol

    I can’t wait to try this BUT I (think) am allergic baby oil. Is there something else I can replace the baby oil? I might have aloe oil somewhere in the house, but (if I can’t find it) Is there another substitute for baby oil?

      Linda, I’ve never tried it with another oil but would be interested to know how aloe oil works for you!

    I love this! I was just at Target earlier & decided against buying more eye makeup remover wipes. I feel like I’m always buying them & they’re pricey. I just need to find a mason jar 🙂

      Thanks for your note Melissa – I hope you can try these soon. They last a long time (about 40 days/nights) and they’re so cheap to make!

      I have some adult acne and do not find that it negatively affects my skin. I have been using this for years and love it. I hope you will, too!

    Could you use Castile soap in place of the baby shampoo?

      Honestly, I’m not sure. I have not tried castile soap.
