As we all know, removing makeup is an essential step in your beauty routine in the evening before going to bed. And the least we can say is that there is no shortage of solutions for a perfect make-up removal without attacking the skin of his face: cleansing milk, micellar water, cleansing lotion, cleansing towel, cleansing balm … But the method that is all the rage with beautistas at the moment is cleansing oil. How does it work? Is it suitable for all skin types? Zoom on this product that has become a staple of our vanity to have beautiful, supple and soft skin.
What is makeup remover oil?
As its name suggests, cleansing oil is a fatty substance. The primary advantage of this makeup remover is that makeup, including waterproof eye makeup, is indeed oil soluble. In short, it is the ideal ally for removing even the most stubborn make-up and getting rid of impurities, excess sebum and other residues; and this, whatever your skin type!
The cleansing oil does not grease the skin, which explains why its use is possible for all, oily skin therefore but also combination skin, normal skin or sensitive or dry skin. These are also the latter that will surely derive the most benefits from a cleansing oil thanks to its moisturizing properties.
If you are worried that your skin will be too oily after applying a makeup remover oil, you can always gently rinse your face with a little water. There are also products in the form of oil whose formula becomes milky on contact with water. With them, no fatty film remains on the surface of the skin. These are our favorites!

Is it possible to remove makeup with vegetable oil?
If we know well the virtues of vegetable oils such as argan oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil or castor oil to nourish our hair or in the composition of our masks and other face care, we can also use them to remove make-up, just like with a “classic” cleansing oil. Only downside: coconut oil. Comedogenic, it is better to avoid it, especially if you have sensitive skin or problematic skin.
Other vegetable oils are not a problem. You can even choose them according to your skin type to get the maximum benefit from them. For example, sweet almond oil or avocado oil, which are very nourishing, will be perfect for dry skin while combination skin and oily skin will prefer jojoba oil, known for its properties that help regulate. sebum. Do you have sensitive skin? Bet on calendula oil. Mature skin will prefer sea buckthorn or argan oils.
Obviously, if you opt for vegetable oil for a gentle make-up removal, prefer an organic oil, extracted by cold pressure, without adding perfume or additives.
