Herbal Infused Makeup Remover: Nourishing and Effective Cleanser

Removing makeup should be a top priority in your skincare routine.

Leaving makeup on overnight blocks your skin from breathing, causes inflammation, and disrupts the skin’s microbiome.

Plus, makeup can transfer onto your sheets, making your skin dirty on the nights you do wash it.

Removing your makeup before bed encourages consistency in your nightly routine and allows you to nourish your skin with your favorite DIY herbal products.

While it can be challenging when you're tired, building this habit is crucial.

If you already do this, keep it up for healthier skin!

This enhanced makeup remover recipe leverages the power of herbal infusions to provide not only effective cleansing but also additional skin benefits, making it a gentle and nourishing beginning to your skincare routine.
