I use wet wipes to remove my make up at night. Then I just apply astringent and moisturizer afterwards.

I'm almost in the same boat as you! I use pure coconut oil to remove my makeup and don't wear foundation either ... been really interested in all-natural skincare lately, and after poking around online and on makeupalley I discovered that it's a pretty great pre-cleanser. I have tried it as a moisturizer, but find it's a little too drying for my face ... but I second that it works fantastic at even removing waterproof mascara. You still have to use a regular cleanser afterwards (at least I do cause I can't stand the feeling of having residue on my face), but I save tons of money (used to buy Neutrogena face wipes in bulk) because it lasts forever.
I look for the kind that's pure, organic, virgin, cold-pressed, unbleached, unhydrogenated, non-deodorized, non-GMO with no additives. Basically it's almost straight up coconut from the tree to you lol.
I even dab a little bit onto my eyelashes before I sleep at night and it softens them a lot
Good luck!

I usually use a face wipe (elf, mac, or nutrogena). then I will go back and use my normal face wash.

No face scrub. Monsia Skincare's facial cleanser followed by toner lotion and splashing face with cool water for a minute or so.
Now after using the cleanser and if I have been wearing makeup I use a few drops of jojoba oil gently applied all over my face, especially the neck and forehead and for the eyes if I have used mascara I gently rub the eyelashes using a cottonwool bud. Then I rinse face & neck with cool water and pat dry with tissues before applying toner.

I've been using cold pressed coconut oil that I purchase from the health food store. I was using the RMS coconut cleanser, but its quite pricey, and you can buy a whole tub from the health food store for the same price. It removed all traces of makeup and leaves your skin so hydrated!
I used to use makeup wipes, but not anymore. (IMO, they suck at getting everything off. Better to save them in case you do any swatching.) To get the bulk of my eye makeup off, I use cleansing water (currently Caudalie's; I've used Bioderma Sensibo in the past, as well as the one from The Body Shop). After that, I've been using either MAC's Cleansing Oil (regular formula) or Nude Skincare's Omega Cleansing Jelly (I use the latter on its own within my nighttime routine when I'm not wearing makeup).

IMO oil based cleansers are the BEST at removing makeup. I use Ponds cold cream cleanser. It's a thick cream that melts into an oil as you massage it into the skin. The scent is pretty strong (floral) which bothers me a bit but it takes the makeup RIGHT off. And since i'm paranoid about oily residue (even though it doesn't make my skin FEEL oily) I'll follow it up with a Ponds makeup wipe.

To remove stubborn eye makeup and mascara I use Paula's choice makeup remover which I find to be affordable and better than the already awesome Neutrogena eye makeup remover (the dual phase one). I think use a bunch of different cleansers depending on how my skin feels. In the winter I definitely have dry skin so I picked up Glawglow Thirstymud cleanser just the other day and it's amazing! It's the first sample in awhile that I have been thoroughly impressed with. It smells like cocoa butter and it has little granules to exfoliate. Other cleansers that get honorable mentions are the Clinique take off the day balm if my skin is super dry bc it has oil within it. I also like Korres Milk Proteins cleansers (super sensitive), Origins Cheeks & Balances, Paulas choice hydralight (for combo-oily skin). For exfoliating I really like Exfolikate or Korres Rose exfoliating wash.
Moisturizer & serum & oil is a whole other thing after and I haven't really been into toners because I haven't found one that really does anything for me.

The cold pressed coconut oil acts as a cleanser & moisturizer?? Presumably you use a toner after cleansing? Does it get absorbed well or is there an oily residue? I ask because at the present time I use the argan oil from my Pro Naturals Hair Repair System as extra moisturizer for my neck and around my eyes.
Changed to jojoba oil because it is one of the Monsia skincare ingredients.

I use Philosophy make up removing wipes at night to remove my makeup and it works fairly well. I use Ora's Amazing Herbal Face Cleanser/Scrub with my Clarisonic brush to exfoliate and deep clean.

I`m using MAC makeup wipes on a regular basis!
Lately I've been using Boscia's Makeup Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil to remove makeup.
