So baby oil is out and so is Vaseline, PLEASE!!
It is so much easier and cleaner to use an actual makeup remover instead of an oil not meant for the face, I don't understand why someone wouldn't just buy that product instead.
Use something that removes waterproof makeup instead of baby oil like MAC Gently Off eye and lip or Cleanse Off Oil (my personal fave).
Because baby oil and Vaseline are cheaper. lol!
I occasionally use Vaseline as a moisturizer when my skin gets so dry that no normal moisturizer could help. It has worked really well and actually helped clear my skin. I don't use it regularly, though...

Vaseline is more solid and stays pretty much where you put it, so there's less chance of it running and dripping into your eyes like baby oil does.

I buy huge bottles of sweet almond oil at health food stores and use that for makeup remover, moisturizing my skin, conditioning my hair....works perfectly.
By the way, petroleum comes from the earth, and therefore IS a natural product as well. The thing is, not everything natural is good for your skin.
