Eye makeup remover recommendations?

[lizzybizzy]

My ophthalmologist gave me all kinds of makeup advice on Friday. He said I should try using jojoba oil or almond oil to remove eye makeup and my oil-free remover isn't great for my skin. He said I need to keep more oil on my face and not less. He also chastised me for rubbing my eyes and not wearing sunglasses enough.

When I heard oils I thought of you guys and your many uses for coconut oil. Has anyone used oils to take off eye makeup? Did it work and what type did you use?

I've got nothing, as I've only ever used oil-free makeup removers.

Following along to see if anyone else has some good advice!

I have this stuff, and it works really well. It's oil-based.

I don't wear makeup often, but when I do I use the Simple cleansing towelettes followed by Nivea Soft moisturizer. I use the Nivea every night anyway.

I've used almond oil before, worked well for me.

Neutrogenia make up removing cleansing wipes. I have no idea what's in them but they are quick and easy. I had some in my hospital bag that I used during labor to wash my face off to feel better.

I use an oil free wash but wanted to tell you about oil cleansing. I don't use soap to clean my face in the morning anymore and it's been great for my skin. I also do the oil cleansing method every few days instead of soap: www.theoilcleansingmethod.com

I like Clinique's take the day off makeup remover. I don't know if the one I use is oil based but I know they have a take the day off cleansing oil.

I use the Avon eye makeup remover, I love it!

Thanks, all! The oil cleansing method looks interesting. I'm going to give it a shot.
