For eye makeup, gently apply a dime-size amount of oil over your eye area. (If your coconut oil is solid, rub it between your fingers first until it liquefies.) Let the oil sit for five to 10 seconds to allow it to dissolve your makeup. Then use a cotton pad, and gently massage the eyelids and lashes in downward strokes and into the bridge of your nose using circular motions. To remove the rest of your face makeup, simply take a quarter size amount of oil and rub between your hands. Gently rub oil into skin making circular motions. Once thoroughly applied, rinse your face with water (you might need a touch of soap to fully remove all the oil).
If you don't already have these oils in your cupboards, you can also pick up Kopari Coconut Oil Melt , $36, a 100 percent organic and unrefined coconut oil that melts away makeup and leaves skin impossibly soft, or S.W. Basics Makeup Remover, $14, which is made up of organic sweet almond oil, extra-virgin olive oil and jojoba oil.
