Not getting enough sleep, dealing with allergies, or feeling stressed can leave you with tired-looking eyes. The skin around your eyes is delicate and needs some extra care every night. Many store-bought eye creams are filled with additives and often don’t deliver results. Instead of spending a lot on fancy anti-aging creams, you can make your own using just a few simple ingredients.

Here’s what you’ll need:
– Organic coconut oil
– Vitamin E tablets
– Frankincense essential oil

Let’s break down why these ingredients are great for your skin:

Coconut oil is an excellent base for this moisturizing eye cream. It’s hypoallergenic (use olive oil or grape seed oil if you have a nut allergy) and incredibly moisturizing, able to penetrate skin better than most other oils.

Vitamin E is packed with antioxidants that promote healthy skin growth, repair damage, and keep your skin smooth. It also helps prevent premature aging and wrinkles.

Frankincense essential oil has been used for centuries in the Middle East and Northern Africa for its healing properties. It promotes healthy cell regeneration, keeps existing cells and tissues healthy, and can treat dry skin, reduce signs of aging, and minimize stretch marks and scars.

Now, here’s how you make the eye cream:
1. Start with one tablespoon of coconut oil in a glass bowl. Mix it to loosen and warm the oil.
2. Pop two vitamin E capsules and squeeze the oil into the coconut oil.
3. Add two to three drops of frankincense oil to the mixture.
4. Mix everything thoroughly and transfer it to a small container with a lid. You can refrigerate the cream to give it a firmer consistency.
5. Before bed, apply a small amount of the cream under your eyes. Let it absorb overnight. You can also use it in the morning, but wait at least 10 minutes before applying makeup to let it soak in. It can even be used as a gentle makeup remover.

Enjoy your homemade eye cream and the benefits it brings to your skin!
