Homemade Eye Cream

Thanks for Sharing!

I love all the beauty DIYs I have been experimenting with lately. No, I have not totally converted over to all-natural beauty products. But I have been experimenting with my own to see what the results would be.  Truly, these all-natural products make the skin feel so clean without any kind of harsh chemicals.

Fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness tend to make their way under the eyes. Having a good eye cream is essential to help eliminate some of these problems.  Recently, I tried making my own eye cream with some very good all-natural oils that are potentially great for reducing lines and wrinkles and for nourishing and moisturizing that area.

Here is a quick overview of the ingredients used in this easy recipe.

  • Vitamin E oil smooths and softens rough dry skin and may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Avocado oil helps with skin elasticity and is very soothing for cracked dry skin. It can also be used as a hair moisturizer.
  • Sweet almond oil is  nourishing and moisturizing for the skin.
  • Coconut oil soothes, heals, moisturizes, and has many great benefits for the skin. See my post here.
  • Lavender essential oil is used to sooth skin ailments such as burns and rashes.

After doing a quick research on homemade eye cream, there seemed to be a general consensus on the oils that were used. Some recipes may have included only two or three oils. For example, some may have used Vitamin E and coconut oils. While others used Vitamin E and sweet almond oil or avocado oil. Or Vitamin E, sweet almond, and a type of essential oil. Usually a milder one like lavender.

Over all, Vitamin E seemed to be the most needed oil in each recipe as it is known to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. I decided to try my hand at it and included a round up of five of the best oils!

All it takes is a quick mix of all the oils mentioned in the recipe card below. Pour it into a small cosmetic container and let it firm up in the refrigerator (optional). Removing it from the refrigerator will return it to a liquid state. Either way is fine; you choose how you prefer to use it.

I have made this over two weeks and I am enjoying using it. The scent is very mild and the oils are very gentle on the skin. Here is the quick and easy recipe I used.

  1. I have combination, oily and dry skin so I have to be careful with the products I put on my face. You’d think at my age, (ahem!) I wouldn’t still be dealing with pimples but if I put too much moisturizer, here they come!
    You have been doing a great job with your homemade products lately!

  2. I’ve never made homemade eye cream before and had actually stopped using eye creams because they always burn and I knew that couldn’t be good for me. 🙂
    I need to try your recipe. I think I’ll keep it in the fridge so it will harden. Every night when I grab a glass of water before heading off to bed, I can remember to use the eye cream.
