When you turn 30, collagen and elastin production slow down and age-related changes start appearing on the skin. Because the skin around the eyes is very delicate, it becomes one of the first places to show visible signs of aging. Dark circles, crow’s feet, bags or swelling under or around the eyes can make an individual look older than their true age. Aging cannot be stopped, but it can be delayed by following good skin care regime. Today, I am going to share a very simple recipe of DIY homemade anti aging eye cream that you can prepare easily.
Ingredients1-2 big spoonful of organic coconut oil
6-8 Vitamin E capsules
8-10 drops Frankincense essential oil
Method- Carefully melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan over low heat for a few minutes or heat it in microwave for 30 seconds. Pour this liquefied oil into your container.
- Poke holes into your Vitamin E capsules with a pin and squeeze vitamin liquid into the same container while stirring.
- Add the optional frankincense oil & mix everything.
- Place this container in the fridge (for less than 1 hour) and allow the liquid to turn into a solid form. No need to refrigerate again once it’s solid, just keep the product away from sun & hot temperatures.
- At night, dab a small amount of this DIY anti aging eye cream under your eyes and massage gently. Go to sleep and be prepared to look younger, brighter and extra glowing in the morning.
