I always use olive oil to remove my makeup… you only need a tiny amount and even the most stubborn makeup melts away. Olive oil is good for your skin, doesn’t contain any irritating chemicals or added fragrances/dyes, and compared to most makeup removers, is less expensive.
It’s been years since I’ve used much of anything else. I’ve always had pretty negative reactions to bottled makeup removers, and this is much more gentle and actually improves my skin instead of irritating it! :)

| Ahh! Your hair is gorgeous!! I also have a question, I've been noticing lately that under my eyes gets really dry and skin starts peeling so I was wondering what is a REALLY good moisturizer or face wash! Thanks xx |

Thank you so much!!
The skin underneath your eyes is very sensitive, and can react differently (or before) the rest of your skin to different issues because it’s so thin. I suggest using gentle products that don’t have too many unnecessary ingredients on that area.
If you’re using a face wash that is meant for acne, I would stop using that for now, because salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, (or other anti-acne active ingredients) are very drying on your skin. This is just assuming that you are using one of these. If you’re not, your face wash should be okay.
As for moisturizer you should use one all over your face every day, because it will keep your skin healthy and clear. A few of my favorites (for dry skin types):
‘
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
Yes To Cucumbers Daily Calming Moisturizer (SPF 30)
Olay Total Effects Daily Moisturizer
Clinique Moisture Surge Intense
But if it’s really just under your eyes that’s dry and peeling (it happens), stick to a lighter moisturizer, and find instead a rich eye cream. Once again, I tend to prefer simpler formulations that don’t contain a boatload of extra ingredients. Here’s a few:
Yes To Carrots Moisturizing Eye Cream
Simple Soothing Eye Balm
You could also try some at-home DIY treatments to help soothe those dry patches!
- Coconut oil or olive oil (on a cotton pad as a moisturizer, rinse off)
- Honey (mix it with sugar to create a gentle, natural exfoliant)
- Papayas, avocados, or egg whites all have hydrating properties
Good luck! :)

| Hey! What do you think about salt sprays for your hair? Also, do you have any tips to use with it? |

Although I do love making my own salt spray for my hair, especially during the summer, I have to warn you that it’s not necessarily good for your hair. Salt will draw out moisture and can easily dry out your hair! So use with caution.
I make a shine + salt spray, to offset the drying action and “eh” scent that regular salt sprays have. In a small spray bottle, I mix warm water with a few tablespoons of sea salt, and a bit of jojoba oil or coconut oil! Since oil doesn’t mix with water I have to shake it well before each use, and avoid my roots, but it creates great, natural shine, as well as those beachy, voluminous waves!
(I got this cute little spray bottle for .97 cents in the travel section at Walmart!)
If you’re a blonde, you can add lemon juice to salt spray to create your own type of “Sun In”, which will give you natural highlights.
I get the best results by drying my hair with a cotton T shirt in a scrunching motion (t shirts versus towels will reduce frizz!), spraying my hair thoroughly with salt spray, allowing my hair to air dry half way, and then spritzing and scrunching again! Salt sprays will give you a TON of volume and can make your hair a little crazy.
| i'm using the lip scrub right now and it's hard to keep it on my lips because i keep licking it off. it tastes so good! |
