10 Cleansing Oils That Rinse Totally Clean

When it comes to easily and effectively removing makeup, I'm a big fan of cleansing oils. Not only do they break down even the most stubborn of waterproof makeup, but they also hydrate and condition your skin. The only problem though is finding a cleansing oil that doesn't leave behind an oily residue. Because even if you want your skin to feel soft and smooth instead of stripped after removing your makeup, you probably still want it to feel clean— not greasy.

And while there are plenty of options for oils that will remove your makeup (you could even use olive or coconut oil from your kitchen), not all will give you the power of an oil with the feeling of a traditional cleanser. Sure, it can take some trial and error to find the best oil for your skin— whether for cleansing or for treatment. But if you're just over taking chances on different oils (there's kind of a ton of them), no worries. Just take a browse through this list. These 10 oils will make sure all of your makeup can be quickly, effortlessly, and gently removed. And without feeling like you need to wash your face five more times afterwards. Because that's all we really want from a cleansing oil anyway.
