Eye contour: how to make a homemade eye cream and mask
The eye contour area must always be well hydrated and take particular care – and constant – to always have a fresh and young face .
As we already know, specific products for this area often cost a lot, but you cannot do without them. Pollution, temperature changes, and hours spent at the computer only make the eye area worse . After a day at work, at home or in the office, more or less we all have reddened eyes and the skin around them is puffy and tight. To treat this area then we can resort to simple recipes with natural products, so that you can save money, but provide the necessary care to this area.
How to make a homemade eye cream
Here are the ingredients and the procedure to make a homemade eye cream against puffiness, fatigue and dark circles.
What we propose is a homemade eye cream with coffee . Take a mortar, made of wood or marble, and grind about 50 grams of coffee beans . When you have reduced them to a fine powder, add it to a saucepan in which you have already put 50 grams of extra virgin olive oil . We put it on medium heat for a maximum of 20 minutes, being very careful not to fry the oil.
When your infusion of extra virgin olive oil and coffee is cold , you will have to filter it to remove the remaining beans. Take a tightly woven gauze and filter the infusion well. Squeeze it at the end so you don’t miss a drop of the coffee oil you just made. At this point, take some shea butter (30 grams will suffice) and slowly melt it in a water bath. When it is warm, also add the coffee oil infusion and about 10 grams of rosehip oil .
Take the empty jar of an old cream, wash and dry well, put the mixture you obtained in your jar and let it rest in the fridge for at least one night . In the morning, when you wake up, you can already benefit from your new DIY eye contour. It is natural and you can use it every day. Especially indicated to combat bags and dark circles, thanks to the caffeine that stimulates microcirculation and visibly reduces them.
How to make a homemade eye contour mask
If you want a very easy homemade eye contour mask, you can make one with rosehip. Mix 4 tablespoons of whole wheat flour with 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of rosehip oil . Mix the ingredients well with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth. When it’s ready, apply the mask to your face and leave it on for at least 20 minutes . Then rinse with plenty of warm water and then apply the eye contour.
