I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now since a little Instagram coverage I did and I’m a complete convert. Nightly make-up removal with just solid coconut oil and a natural sponge…
Totally brilliant on many counts – I’m using organic coconut oil (anti-bacterial and cleansing) which:
cleans skin without stripping away natural oils;
wipes away mascara and eyeliner in a blink;
is super smooth to rub over your skin leaving it delicious smelling;
does away with the need for disposable cotton buds;
lasts for ages;
and is good for your skin.
I take a little dollop on my fingers, rub over my face and any make-up, wet my sponge under warm water and wipe away. Done and dusted. Skin feels clean but hydrated and soothed.

Hello! Love using coconut oil but not tried the sponge – do you have to clean it with anything to keep it sterile? Would definitely love to do away with disposabl cotton!
Hey R! I just give it a wash in hotwater and soap and leave it to dry – I’m hoping that’s sterile enough?! 🙂 xx
I’m sure that’s fine! Definitely tempted for days when my Clarisonic feels unnecessary but I want to give my skin a good scrub. And great for holidays too, as you can carry less boomph! One more question – Where is the sponge from? x
Hmm, it was a present, but am pretty sure it was a natural sponge from Body Shop. Luuurve using it! 🙂
Very good article. I’m experiencing some of these issues as well..
