DO IT YOURSELF- EYE CREAM ( A MUST TRY RECIPE )

                  Hello ladies, hope you are all doing good. Chennai is bouncing back after all those flood tragedy.. luckily our area didnt have any water stagnation problem. But we had an entire week of power cut and no network connection. We couldn’t contact anyone or we couldn’t do anything. Its was like living in a stone age literally. I wish it never happens again. So since everything is getting back to normal now I thought I should share a post. This was supposed to be up on my blog long back but due to all those terrible things happened here it got delayed. So yeah lets get into it.

                   I am a huge hunter of eye creams. Coz  I get dark circles so often so easily. I have tried so many different eye creams that are available in the market.  Nothing seems to be really working for me. I have reviewed a couple of eye creams here in my blog and I have few more to review.  I searched for something that really works . but at the same time I cannot invest a fortune for an eye cream. Eye creams can be crazily priced for a good quality one. Two or three grands for a good eye cream ??? that’s totally out of my frame.

                    So as always, I surfed through the internet for a good eye cream that fits my budget. I couldn’t really find anything satisfying. And then I came across an awesome recipe.  I thought it was amaizing and I tried it by adding my own twist to it and it came out really well.  And the best part is ,it really worked. Am not gonna lie jus coz I made it, this is the world’s no 1 eye cream . but I can assure you, it works far better than those eye creams that I have come across. So here is the recipe.

INGREDIENT LIST

1.       Almond oil ( ¼ table spoon)

2.       Vitamin e capsules ( 2 capsules )

3.       Evening primrose capsules (three capsules )

4.       Aloe vera gel ( 2 table spoon )

5.       An empty container.

6.       Little spoon to mix everything in.

                          If you are wondering where to find vitamin e capsules and evening primerose capsules. I got mine in a pharmacy near me. Vitamin e capsules are called evion400. And evening primerose oil capsule are known as primosa. I paid INR 140 for a strip of eveningprimerose oil capsules and INR 17 for a strip of evion400 capsules. 

METHOD

             Just mix everything.  But it takes atleast five minutes for all the ingredients to combine well and form a creamy consistency. You have to be patient and give it a good mix. Aloe vera gel helps in combining all the ingredients and brings it to a creamy consistency.

                   MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE EYE CREAM

                It becomes a white cream after you are done mixing. It is so soothing on the eyes since it contains aloe vera. I have been using this eye cream for about a fortnight or even more , it really reduced my dark circles. I have really dry skin so I have fine lines under my eyes. This recipe visibly reduced those lines. I am completely happy and satisfied with what I found. I made my new batch few days back as I finished my first batch of cream .  it is always good to make it fresh when it comes to beauty diy. You can store this cream for about six months. But anyways it is always good to make diys in small quantity and make it fresh the next time.

                 The only problem that I find with this eye cream is that, it is too thick and  lil bit sticky because of vitamin e and almond oil, which makes it difficult to wear it during day time. It takes couple of minutes for the eye cream to get absorbed. You need very little amount of this eye cream . I use it every night and give my eye area a lil massage so that the cream gets absorbed into the skin.  It is hundred percent natural and I know what is exactle there in my eye cream. It is far far far better than those store bought eye creams that ive tried.

                    All the ingredients that we have added in this recipe helps in reducing dark circle, aloe vera sooths the eye area . it reduces the puffiness , it reduces the redness or dark circle. Vitamin e and almond oil nourishes the eye area. It reduces the fine lines around the eyes.  You can even store this eye cream in your refrigerator and apply the cream for a refreshing  and relaxing feel .

PROS

1.       It is hundred percent natural

2.       It nourishes the under eye area.

3.       Soothes the eye area

4.       Reduces dark circle

5.       Reduces puffiness.

6.       Affordable

CONS

1.       The consistency is lil bit sticky. So it is difficult to apply it during the day time. It may crease the concealer or any makeup that you wear on top.  But who cares :-P it works incredibly. And that’s what matters.

   

Do try this recipe.. I hope you will love it. J

Thank you .
