I use lotion..any kind face lotion ,baby lotion etc.Just get a damp washcloth and squirt a couple drops of lotion on it..not only does it remove your make-up but it softens your skin so no need to put lotion on your face after.

I sell Avon but have always used Baby oil or vaseline to remove eye makeup; IF I ever wear it. Everything irritates my eyes so much I don't try many things on them and this has worked since I was a teenager so why change a good thing!

1.  For that eyelid infection (Blepharitis), the actual treatment from the Eye Doctor is to wash eyelids with baby shampoo that has been mixed with water!  Just put a little bit of baby shampoo with water, use cotton ball, wipe eyelids with solution and let dry.2. Makeup removal and face moisturization: My mother first puts on regular hand/body lotion on her face, rub in lightly, then remove with a baby wipe. We use only huggies but it does not matter what kind of huggies baby wipes.  This works like a dream, costs less, and you can use all for another use!3. On trips, bring along baby wipes--great for when bathrooms don't have water and paper towels to wash your hands, are good for washing hands after eating messy things such as melted ice cream cones, and last...if on a trip and no bathing facilities, a baby wipe will make do for a "bird bath".enjoy!many blessings,beth

mary kay's famour eye makeup remover is basically baby oil...for the ladies that have Super sensitive eyes... use cetaphil (aveeno and J&J still burns my terribly dryeyes when i use to remove mascara)

By Candice on 1/2/2010 11:40:12 AM

My daughter (who often sleeps in her makeup) uses cotten ball with either lotion or a little vasilene to get closer to her lashes she uses a Q-tip

Great tip! Try baby oil to gently remove mascara to. I use a waterproof mascara and this works great for me. Thanks Ladies!!

By Audra on 12/16/2009 1:06:50 PM

I agree with Jenni, I use baby wipes all the time to take off my mascara and wipes are much cheaper than eye make-up remover.

By Sarah on 12/15/2009 10:34:29 AM

You can also use baby wipes to get make up off. It also cleans your pours and keeps you refreshed. And it's cheaper than make up remover.

By Jenni on 12/8/2009 3:28:34 PM

 haven't tried it but I will.  Sounds great.  Mary

By Mary on 12/1/2009 6:55:23 PM

Baby shampoo is also great for removing Stage makeup - for plays and Halloween (Yeah I know,I'm late) It eats through the oil and keeps the skin clean and smooth. 

By Dianna on 11/25/2009 10:13:44 AM

I have used it for almost 2 years now ,as a perminant make up remover its cheaper and doesn't burn my eyes and works great.

By Catherine on 11/24/2009 4:00:01 PM

years ago I had a stye and the doctor told me to rinse my eye out twice a day with baby shampoo

By Michelle on 11/23/2009 11:47:33 PM

Great tip! Makes sense....tear free, sensitive skin, in the house already....YAY!

By Rachel on 11/22/2009 12:12:44 AM

I have been using baby shampoo as mascara remover in the shower for YEARS!!!  one of the BEST tips anyone ever passed on to me! 

By Kimberly on 11/19/2009 3:12:34 PM

wow i didn't know that thanks for the advice :)

By Jessica on 11/18/2009 10:25:09 AM

Baby oil works even better. All you need is the little travel size. Inexpensive, and lasts for many months. Softens skin around eyes as well to decrease and prevent wrinkles.

By Rebecca on 11/18/2009 9:57:49 AM

hanks for the tip also baby oil works great to take off makeup around the eyes

By Lisa on 11/17/2009 11:11:42 AM

Good to know! Always have baby shampoo around.

By Amanda on 11/16/2009 1:45:39 AM

I use baby oil to remove mascara. It works great . I have never tried baby shampoo, will have tocheck it out. Thanks for the tip.

By Catherine on 11/15/2009 7:06:34 PM

I always use baby oil to remove my mascara. It is much cheaper than buying items labeled as make-up removers

By Lisa on 11/15/2009 3:57:31 PM

Great idea, I'll give it a try.

By LaDonna on 11/15/2009 12:43:03 PM

Tear free because they use Novacaine in it!  I don't know how good that is for the eyes and especially for babies eyes!

By April on 11/14/2009 8:34:43 PM

Great idea...I wish I would have thought of it ages ago!  I've been kind of hooked on the Avon eye make up remover for a long time because it is inexpensive (around $1.99) and works really good.  But I just ran out and don't know when I'm going to be able to order more and I always have baby shampoo!  Thanks for the tip!

By Brenda on 11/13/2009 11:33:24 PM

If you don't have any of the products mentioned above for removal of your eye makeup you can also use vaseline petoleum jelly.  It's good for your skin too!

By Pamela on 11/13/2009 10:38:24 PM

wow! never thought of this!! thank you

By Peggy on 11/13/2009 5:40:36 PM

I like the idea of using the baby wipes, sounds good!  I have used baby oil and it removes mascara pretty well.

By Claudea on 11/12/2009 8:53:26 PM

My daughters and I use baby wipes to take off our makeup.  They work great!!!!

By Kathleen on 11/12/2009 2:33:53 PM

Baby shampoo is very good for washing the eyes, every time they need it for allergies.

By Reba on 11/12/2009 2:32:34 PM

Actually this works great. I like it because the size is great for traveling and it is sooo gentle on my sensitize skin and eyes.

By Linda on 11/11/2009 9:47:09 PM

Ya know, I got to wondering? Does it work well on waterproof mascara?

By Melissa on 11/11/2009 8:50:28 PM

great advice, I'll try it!

By Melissa on 11/11/2009 8:49:05 PM

The baby oil and shampoo are great tips! I never thought of using either one. I've been using "Skin Milk" shower gel. The creamy soap pulls everything right off and rinses out of my washcloths easily.

By Debbie on 11/11/2009 8:00:45 PM

This is such a clever idea.  Now I can tell my 18-year-old daughter how she can get her mascara off without taking all of the skin off of her face.

By Lisa on 11/11/2009 7:44:27 PM

I like this idea. How clever, and I love the smell of it. Good call.

By Becky on 11/11/2009 7:12:46 PM

This is such a great idea!!!! I never would have thought of it!!! I sometimes use Baby Oil, it works really good!!!!!

By Ashley on 11/11/2009 5:58:06 PM

I use the store brand baby wipes for "Sensative Skin" it takes off all of the make-up and mascara, and you don't dread trying to get the make-up off of your washcloths!

By Kaye on 11/11/2009 2:43:11 PM

I keep a bottle of the cheapest kind of shampoo you can get, in the bathroom. Usually it's the kids kind.  It's the best thing to get soap scum off the shower door. Jusy pour some on a damp sponge and rub on the glass and let it sit a minute while you shower and rinse it off. Plus, you never run out of no tear shampoo for the little ones.

By Judy on 11/11/2009 2:00:15 PM

I use the huggies baby wipes with aloe to remove my make up and mascara.It leaves my face soft and smooth and doesn't make it break out.

By Mary on 11/11/2009 1:41:05 PM

P.S I eventually ended up using baby oil- its works great!

By Reyna on 11/11/2009 1:37:46 PM

Yeah-I did the stupid thing once of trying to use -yes-wait for it-Under Arm deodorant-it wasn't used- so don't freak but I thought because of the smoothness it would remove hte makeup- and it did pretty wel until one day i got it in my eye- i couldn't open it for like 2 days-so super funny

By Reyna on 11/11/2009 1:36:56 PM

Conditioner works great as well. It doesn't foam, no tears, and it just wipes off.

By Kerri on 11/11/2009 12:43:42 PM

If you have a toothache, and you cannot get to the dentist right away.  Try using food-grade clove oil.  It numbs the pain and may have anti-bacterial properties too!.  I called our local pharmacisit and he said that he didn't sell the clove oil any longer.  He also chuckled and said that this is an old-timer remedy.  Ask your grandparents or parents about clove oil....or even your dentist if he's an older gentleman.  Also, ask your pediatrician about sweet oil for ear aches.  You can still buy this at the pharmacy.  My grandmother used to use it on me for ear aches all the time...Antibiotics were unheard of back then for ear aches.  Laura from OH

By Laura on 11/11/2009 12:26:47 PM

Two weeks ago I suffered from blepharitis (swollen eyelid). It was due to poor removal of my mascara. One way to prevent this painful ugly ailment is to wash off mascara with....yup, you guessed it... baby shampoo!!! Thanks for the tip, wish you would have posted it 3 weeks ago!!!!

By Veronica M.G. on 11/11/2009 12:03:41 PM

awesome idea!

By Joni on 11/11/2009 11:30:20 AM

i have 3 babies so i always have had baby shampoo in my bathroom but never thought of using it for removing my eye makeup.. thanks for the tip!

By Amy on 11/11/2009 11:08:45 AM

I have been using baby shampoo for removing mascara/eye shadow for over 15 years.  Won't use anything else!

By Patricia on 11/11/2009 10:50:14 AM

Actually this works great. I like it because the size is great for traveling and it is sooo gentle on my sensitize skin and eyes.
