Green Tea Repairing Eye Cream for Dark Circles

Green Tea Repairing Eye Cream for Dark Circles

Pretty much since high school I have had permanent dark circles under my eyes. No amount of sleep or moisturizer can help them. The only thing that really helps is concealer. So I decided to try to make an eye cream recipe that was designed to help with dark circles.

Now I’m not saying this cream is a miracle worker. I do think it’s made a small difference on my dark under-eyes in the few weeks since I’ve been using it. The best part about this cream, however, is how refreshing it is to put on in the morning. I just love it. So even if it can’t completely fix my dark circles, it does help with puffiness and preventing wrinkles.

This recipe makes about 2 ounces. For eye cream, that really goes a long way. I can’t foresee running out of it in the near future. And it only costs $1.45 to make! If you’re used to buying eye cream, you know that is a steal!

Each of the ingredients were selected to make this cream great for dark circles, moisturizing, and preventing wrinkles:

• Almond oil: Deep moisturizer, soothes irritation, reduces dark circles
• Shea butter: Natural moisturizer, non-comedogenic, good source of vitamins for skin, anti-inflammatory
• Green tea: Full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, reduces development of wrinkles, helps with rosacea
• Beeswax: Locks in moisture, protects skin against damaging elements, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory
• Vitamin E oil: Antioxidant, natural moisturizer, anti-inflammatory, helps preserve shelf life of lotion
• Peppermint essential oil: Adds the refreshing cool feeling, smells great

And don’t worry, it’s really nice and easy to make.

Like I said before, this stuff is SUPER refreshing. The peppermint just wakes you right up. It takes a around a half hour to sink in, so don’t worry if the area around your eyes looks oily right when you put it on. It will absorb.

I just can’t get enough. And luckily I won’t have to because it will last me such a long time. Isn’t it amazing what green tea can do?
