Firming Eye Cream

With all the screens we're exposed to these days, it starts to feel like under-eye circles are an unavoidable thing. Luckily, with this cream, you can get your eyes nice and firm again.

Materials

  • 1/4 cup green tea
  • 1/8 tsp. NeoDefend this is a preservative for lotions
  • 1 tbsp. rosehip seed oil
  • 1 tbsp. sweet almond oil
  • 1/4 tsp. vitamin E
  • 1 tsp. emulsifying wax
  • 1 drop carrot Seed essential Oil
  • 3 drop lavender Essential Oil

Instructions

  • Brew up a cup of green tea. Don't drink it, this is for the recipe.
  • Fill sauce pans with water about halfway.
  • Get two glass bowls with spouts, and place each into the two pots. Turn the stove to medium heat.
  • In one pot, add in the wax, rosehip seed oil, vitamin E oil and sweet almond oil.
  • In the other pot, add the green tea and NeoDefend.
  • Heat up both mixtures until the wax is completely melted.
  • Using a thermometer, check the temperatures of both pots. They both need to be the same temperature before you combine them, or the cream won't set properly. You're shooting for around 130 degrees here
  • When the mixtures are hot enough, pour the water mixture into the oil mixture.
  • With a hand blender, mix up the cream.
  • Mix the cream every ten minutes until the water stops separating on the bottom, approximately 30 minutes to an hour.
  • When the cream's fully mixed, add in the essential oils and pour it into a resealable container.
