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

Here’s 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 a moisturizing eye cream. It’s mostly hypoallergenic (you can use olive oil or grapeseed oil if you have a nut allergy) and very moisturizing, as it penetrates the skin better than most other oils.

Vitamin E is rich in antioxidants, promoting healthy skin growth and repairing skin damage. It keeps the skin smooth, prevents cracking, and helps avoid premature aging and wrinkles.

Frankincense oil has been used for centuries for its health benefits. It supports healthy cell regeneration and maintains the health of existing cells and tissues. It can treat dry skin, reduce signs of aging, and minimize the appearance of stretch marks and scars.

How to make the eye cream:
1. Put one tablespoon of coconut oil in 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.

To use the eye cream, dab a small amount under your eyes at night to let the oils penetrate your skin while you sleep. You can also use it in the morning, just give it at least 10 minutes to soak in before applying makeup. This eye cream can also serve as a gentle, moisturizing makeup remover. Enjoy!
