We never look forward to taking off our makeup. It's not because we don't want to (we understand that it's an essential task for vibrant, blemish-free skin), but removing it is nowhere near as fun as applying it. It also doesn't always feel good—certain removal formulas require scrubbing and tugging, while others, full of dyes and preservatives, can dehydrate the skin and throw off our moisture barrier.

And even after all that effort, we occasionally still wake up with traces of mascara on our lashes—or worse, on our pillowcases. Luckily, there is a way to remove the strain from this process, and it starts with choosing the correct product. Enter natural makeup removers. These clean and green workhorses are infused with tried-and-true ingredients that thoroughly remove even the longest-lasting of formulas (yes, even that stubborn matte lipstick). The best part? They take away makeup, but they don't strip your skin. Plus, they leave your complexion—whatever your skin type—feeling balanced and healthy, as opposed to bone-dry and irritated. The fact of the matter is, whether you're dry and sensitive or oily and acne-prone, there's a natural makeup remover out there for you.

But choosing the right formula can be confusing—especially if you are switching over to a natural product for the very first time. To help you on your way, we've rounded up the best natural makeup removers on the market to ensure that you never have to stress about taking off your foundation, eyeshadow, or mascara ever again.
