Try pure Shea butter instead.. Take a small amount and rub it between your palms to warm it up, it will become like oil... It's much better for the skin as it will nourish it.. It's also non-comedogenic so it's safe to use on the face and will not break you out.. It's best to use it right after the shower because it will absorb faster to damp skin..
In the summer I use it to add shine to my legs.. I used to use baby oil before I discovered this but the baby oil smell was too strong..
For makeup remover I use olive oil..
