Applying good-quality makeup is a costly business in India but, removing that makeup with a proper makeup cleanser is even costlier. Though I prefer cleansing milks forgetting out of my water-proof makeup, I have tried a few cleansing oils and bi-phased makeup removers as well.

Method:
The recipe is quite simple and you can easily prepare it in less than 5 minutes. We are going to prepare a makeup remover with 2 layers of liquid cleanser; one layer will be of water-based kind and the other will be oil-based. Here are the steps,
Take ½ cup water in a plastic or glass bowl (avoid metallic containers as it may hamper the composition of the ingredients).
Add 3 tablespoon liquid cleanser to this water and stir until the cleanser gets dissolved completely.
Finally add ¼ cup of the oil to finish the preparation.
Pour the concoction in a clean bottle for future use. Again you are advised to avoid metal bottles.
