Olive Oil as Eye Makeup Remover

Q. Can I use olive oil to take my eye makeup off?

A. Yes. Olive oil will gently and effectively remove eye makeup, even hard to remove waterproof mascara. Coconut oil is also good for makeup removal.

There can be issues with using oil around the eyes, though. Your vision will be temporarily blurry if oil gets in your eyes and oils used around the eyes can cause the delicate skin on the eyelids to get puffy. You can help prevent eyelid puffiness by carefully removing the oil from your eyes.

I pour some olive oil into a small bottle and keep it in my bathroom so it's handy to use for makeup removal.

Tips on using olive oil as eye makeup remover:

1. Apply olive oil to a cotton pad or tissue.

2. Hold the tissue or cotton pad on your closed eye for a couple minutes to allow the oil can to soften and dissolve your eye makeup. Gently wipe the oiled cotton pad or tissue back and forth to remove your eye makeup.

3. Use a gentle facial cleanser and a warm, wet washcloth to remove oil residue and makeup remnants. Rinse your eyes well with water.

4. Use a facial toner. Then, apply eye cream and facial moisturizer.

It's easy and inexpensive

Have a Beautiful Day!

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps. They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite. Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j...
