The delicate skin around your eyes is prone to early signs of ageing, including wrinkles and fine lines. A homemade eye cream with natural ingredients can nourish and rejuvenate this sensitive area.
SHEA BUTTER AND COCONUT OIL
Shea butter deeply moisturises, while coconut oil helps smooth fine lines. Combine equal parts and apply around the eyes to hydrate and reduce the appearance of wrinkles naturally.
ADD ALOE VERA
Aloe vera soothes the skin. Add it to your eye cream for a cooling effect that eases puffiness and also helps reduce wrinkles.
VITAMIN E OIL
Vitamin E oil is full of antioxidants which combat the free radicals responsible for ageing signs. Adding a few drops to your DIY cream will enhance its ability to repair and protect your skin.
INCLUDE ROSEHIP OIL
Rosehip oil contains retinol, a natural form of vitamin A that helps to stimulate cell turnover. Incorporating this into your eye cream will improve skin elasticity, which diminishes the appearance of wrinkles over time.
BEESWAX
Beeswax not only thickens your eye cream but also helps to lock in moisture, creating a barrier that keeps the skin around your eyes hydrated, which minimises fine lines.
APPLY GENTLY
Always use your ring fingers which always applies the least amount of pressure. The method can be a gentle application that won't damage the skin around your eyes.
STORE IN A COOL PLACE
Store this DIY eye cream in a clean glass jar and keep it in the refrigerator.
Regular USE
If you pat it on regularly, not only does the cooling sensation feel refreshing but by using a light tapping motion around your eyes area — it improves the skin damage and reduces puffiness.
Conclusion
Use this natural cream daily to keep your eyes wrinkle-free. Consult a dermatologist for personalised advice.
