Homemade Natural Eye Cream
Learn how to make a homemade natural eye cream to reduce wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, and tighten skin.
Servings: 3 jars
Equipment
Ingredients
- ⅛ cup coconut oil
- 10 drops vitamin E oil
- 10 drops essential oils*
Instructions
- Mix all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl.
- Transfer to an airtight container for storage.
- To use: Apply nightly under the eyes, after washing and moisturizing the face. Avoid getting the cream in your eyes.
Notes
- *For essential oils, I recommend 2 drops each of frankincense, rose, lavender, cypress, and Roman chamomile.
- You can store this at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Coconut oil will stay in a solid state when it is under 76 degrees. If your house is warmer than that, you may want to store it in the refrigerator.
- If you don't keep it in the fridge, it's best to store homemade eye cream out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry place.
- As with most skincare products, consistent use is the key to seeing benefits. I recommend using it daily for best results.
- If you don't have all of the essential oils I recommend, don't worry. You can just add more drops of the ones you do have and still see benefits.
- Always perform a patch test before using a new product. Apply some of the eye cream to your inner arm and watch for adverse reactions before applying it to your undereyes.
