DIY Anti-Puff Eye Roller (Cooling, Firming + Anti-Aging) – Homemade Recipe for Under Eye Circles and Bags.

DIY Anti-Puff Eye Roller (Cooling, Firming + Anti-Aging) – Homemade Recipe for Under Eye Circles and Bags.

When I heard about Anti-Puff Eye Rollers for the first time I knew RIGHT AWAY that I needed one! Well, who doesn't?! No wonder there are more and more of those on the market, yet their natural versions are still hard to find and hard to afford, that's why I had to come up with my own;-)))) It turned out quite easy to make plus I decided to add some moisturizing, firming and anti-aging ingredients to it so that I don't have to apply

any eye cream after that - yes, I'm lazy like that;-) Ok, let's get it rolling?

WHAT I USE:

--2 parts Aloe Vera Gel - moisturizes, firms and renews skin cells (source) - I love Lily of the Desert one, because it's all natural and contains vitamins E, C and A which have great anti-aging properties.

--0.5 part Pure Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice - same benefits as aloe vera gel, but in a liquid form which makes it easier for application - it usually goes with 1% lemon juice in it

--1/8 part Vit.C powder (as ascorbic acid) (optional) - one of the most effective anti-wrinkle ingredients (source), yet I added just a tiny bit, since my Aloe Vera Gel already has some vit.C in it

--1/8 part Caffeine Powder (optional) -one of the most effective ingredients to fight dark circles and under-eye bags (source)

WHAT I DO: I first mix the juice and the powders (caffeine and vitamins) Caffeine doesn't dissolve easily, so the juice needs to be room temperature or slightly above. But ones the solution cools down caffeine crystallizes, so it's important not to add too much of it. After that I stir in my aloe vera gel and pour the mixture into a roller tube.

HOW I USE IT:

I store the roller in the fridge (cool temperature reduces swelling and under-eye bags - source) and apply every morning as an "awake and sing" remedy for my eyes;-)
