Not getting enough sleep, dealing with allergies, and stress can make your eyes look tired. The skin around your eyes is delicate and needs some nightly care. Most store-bought eye creams are packed with fillers and often don’t work as well as they should. Instead of spending a lot on these anti-aging creams, you can make your own using a few simple ingredients.

What You’ll Need:
– Organic coconut oil
– Vitamin E tablets
– Frankincense essential oil

Why These Ingredients Are Great:
Coconut oil is an excellent base for this eye cream. It’s mostly hypoallergenic (you can use olive oil or grape seed oil if you’re allergic to nuts) and very moisturizing, as it penetrates the skin better than most other oils.

Vitamin E is packed with antioxidants. It helps with healthy skin growth, repairs damage, keeps the skin smooth, and prevents cracking. It also helps slow down premature aging and wrinkling.

Frankincense oil has been used for centuries in the Middle East and Northern Africa for its health benefits. It promotes healthy cell regeneration, keeps tissues healthy, treats dry skin, reverses signs of aging, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks and scars.

How to Make Your Own Eye Cream:
1. Add one tablespoon of coconut oil to a glass bowl and mix it to loosen and warm the oil.
2. Pop two vitamin E capsules and squeeze the contents 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 it to make it firm.
5. At night, dab a small amount of the eye cream under your eyes to let the oils penetrate your skin overnight. You can also use it in the morning, but let it soak in for at least 10 minutes before applying makeup. This eye cream can also serve as a gentle, moisturizing makeup remover.

Enjoy your homemade eye cream!
