Discover in this article a way to remove make-up that, at the same time, cares for, moisturizes and cleanses the skin of your complexion in depth.

Remove make-up without toxins

More and more women are replacing their conventional cosmetic and hygiene products with alternatives based on natural ingredients.

These do not have harmful substances like parabens or paraffins and other petroleum derivatives.

The reason is that, through the pores of the skin, our body absorbs these substances, which reach the bloodstream. Many of them have already been linked to some health disorders.

Why take that risk if there are natural alternatives? The problem is that the healthiest and most ecological products tend to be much more expensive.

For this reason, many people increasingly opt for homemade cosmetics, made with simple but very beneficial ingredients. In this article we suggest you remove your makeup in the simplest, home-made and natural way.

Cleanse the skin every day

Whether you wear makeup or not, you should know that it is essential to clean your facial skin on a regular basis to remove dead cells, prevent impurities and improve skin regeneration.

What is your type of skin?

Do you know what your skin type is? Most women do not have normal skin. In addition, it can change with age, time or times of the year, so it is very important to adapt the oil we use so that it is appropriate.

The best time to remove your makeup is at night, before going to bed. However, if you need it, you can also do it in the morning. It is done as follows:

• On dry skin, we will apply the oil all over the face, massaging it gently.
• We will let it act between 2 and 10 minutes.
