Ingredients Needed

Notes on Ingredients

Choose high-quality ingredients to boost the effectiveness and safety of your DIY beauty products.

When an essential oil is included, I use either pure or diluted essential oils. If using pure essential oils, use up to 2% by weight. To use diluted essential oils, mix 1 gram (0.035 oz) of pure essential oil with 100 grams (3.5 oz) of sweet almond oil or jojoba oil.

If a recipe calls for fragrance oil, you can use diluted essential oil instead to benefit from both its scent and therapeutic effects. This provides a natural alternative to synthetic fragrance oils and offers additional benefits.

Steps: DIY Coffee Cream for Eye Dark Circles

Make the Coffee Oil

Here’s a concise method for making coffee oil:

1. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 1 heaped teaspoon of finely ground coffee. Stir well to combine.
2. Heat: Place the bowl in a bain-marie (a larger pot partially filled with hot, steaming water on the stove). This method gradually heats the contents of the bowl and helps infuse the coffee into the oil. Heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting and infusion.
3. Cool: After 20 minutes, remove the bowl from the bain-marie and let it cool to room temperature.
4. Strain: Once cooled, strain out all the coffee residue using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.

Your homemade coffee oil is now ready to use!

How to Use: DIY Coffee Cream for Eye Dark Circles

c. Daily Use: For optimal results, use this cream daily. Consistent use will help maintain and enhance its benefits over time.

d. Storage: You can keep the cream at room temperature, so there’s no need to refrigerate it. Just store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

e. Shelf Life: The cream is good for 6-8 months. Ensure the container is tightly closed to prolong its freshness.

Benefits

Reduces Dark Circles: Coffee oil is renowned for its ability to diminish dark circles. Its caffeine content improves circulation and helps lighten the under-eye area, giving your eyes a brighter and more refreshed look.

Decreases Puffiness: Coffee oil also helps reduce puffiness. Its anti-inflammatory properties work to soothe and calm the skin, minimizing swelling and providing a more rested appearance.

Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: Jojoba oil, a key ingredient, is known for its skin-brightening properties. It helps lighten the skin under the eyes and even out skin tone, contributing to a more radiant complexion.

Hydrates and Nourishes: With nourishing oils like rosehip and jojoba, as well as rich butters like shea and cocoa, this cream deeply hydrates and conditions the delicate skin around the eyes. Shea butter and cocoa butter are known for their intense moisturizing properties, helping to maintain optimal moisture levels, soften the skin, and enhance its suppleness.

Improves Skin Elasticity: The blend of oils, shea butter, and cocoa butter improves skin elasticity and reduces fine lines. Vitamin E and these hydrating ingredients work together to promote a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Natural and Gentle: The natural ingredients used in this cream provide a gentle alternative to commercial products, making it suitable for sensitive skin around the eyes.
