Homemade Eye Cream

As most of you know, I'm all about using homemade and natural products. I've learned more than I wanted to about some ingredients that they put in creams and products that they sell in stores.

You need only TWO ingredients to make this fantastic eye cream and you will see so many benefits to it! It's also a lot less expensive than the creams available in the stores. Plus, you know what is in it!

Vitamin E is an essential part of skin care. It is an antioxidant (it protects the skin from UV light, pollution, drugs, and other free radicals that damage skin cells). It also plays a role in anti-aging by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamine E also reduces stretch marks and age spots. It's practically magical!

Find a small jar (about an ounce). Fill it with coconut oil and warm it in the microwave for a couple of seconds until it is liquid. Take three vitamin E capsules and poke a hole in them to release the liquid in them and pour into the melted coconut oil. Use a toothpick to stir the mixture together and place into the refrigerator until it is solid again!

Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream for Those Tired Eyes

I drink coffee almost every morning. It helps to wake me up. When I heard about a eye cream made of coffee beans and filled with caffeine, I had to check it out. I was very interested to learn about what it can do for me. Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream (doesn't that have a nice ring to it?) is fantastic for instantly waking the eyes up and eliminating puffy eyes and dark circles. This is an organic eye cream that is all-natural. It moisturizes and contains coffee beans, caffeine, and green tea which are all ingredients to brighten eyes and reduce swelling, which are the effects of little sleep and high stress.

If you are super busy like a lot of us are, it's an easy way to look like you got about 9 hours of sleep when you only have time for about 5! This is a must-have in every beauty bag and also would make a great gift.
