Olya: I really like to make my own cosmetics, and I often make milk based on cream. It not only removes makeup well, but also perfectly nourishes my skin. And at the same time, you don’t have to worry that some kind of chemical will ruin your face.
Vera: My choice is Black Pearl, it’s just an amazing product, I just feel relief when I take off my makeup every evening. It smells very pleasant, is applied to the skin easily and quickly removes all impurities - just what you need for cosmetic milk.
Cream

A natural cosmetic product that has become very trendy in recent years is hydrolate. It is obtained from different parts of the plant (stems, flowers, fruits, leaves, roots), practically “pulling out” all the benefits, precipitating them into distilled water.
It is enough to moisten a cotton pad with this water and enjoy not only the most gentle cleansing of the skin, but also the charming aroma that comes from it. Suitable for everyday use.
- Can be used for skin of any type and age;
- Do not irritate sensitive skin;

Cosmetic wipes are convenient to use in any situation: travel, work, visiting, etc. You need to take the napkin out of the package and wipe your face to remove makeup. Daily use of this cosmetic product is not recommended; it is better to alternate with other care products.
Cleansing gels
The special composition of the gels deeply removes all impurities from the skin surface. Removes makeup quickly and efficiently. Many manufacturers offer a selection of products according to age. Use gels to remove any stubborn makeup.
Using the gel is simple: rinse your face with water, apply a little gel to your palm, lather it, and lather your face with it. Pay attention to areas with a high concentration of cosmetics. Rinse off with cold or warm water.
Gels are not suitable for daily use. Therefore, they are recommended to be used no more than 4 times a week. It is optimal to alternate with another selected makeup remover.
How to make a remedy at home
If you haven’t found a suitable cosmetic milk for yourself, you can try making it yourself. To do this, use the following recipe:
- 200 ml of cream is mixed with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and egg yolk. This composition is suitable for normal skin; for sensitive skin, you can add a few tablespoons of chamomile decoction to it. The composition is not suitable for removing eye makeup;
- To remove eye make-up, use another milk recipe - grated fresh cucumber is combined with natural yogurt (about 100 ml).
Natural oils are considered good ingredients for such compositions; among other things, they also have a significant positive effect on the condition of the face. For example, a few drops of castor oil in the last recipe will accelerate the growth and increase the thickness of eyelashes.
