To help achieve the best results and to avoid toxic chemicals found in most commercial products, consider making a homemade eye cream. This DIY recipe includes four of the best ingredients for the delicate skin under the eyes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons unrefined shea butter
- 2 tablespoons unrefined coconut oil
- ½ teaspoon vitamin E
- 10 drops frankincense essential oil
Instructions
- Put shea butter and coconut oil in a small glass bowl, then place that bowl in a sauce pan that is filled with water. Do not allow any water to get into the bowl.
- Place pan (and bowl) on a stovetop and heat to medium and mix oils together. Whisk until completely melted.
