Eye Cream Recipes

Eye creams can get pretty expensive, so try some of these recipes I found in this great book.  I guarantee you that the natural ingredients used in these recipes may be better than the products on the current market.


Cocoa Butter Eye Cream

Cocoa butter is a great emollient. It smooths wrinkles, leaving your skin flexible and well moisturized

3 Vitamin E Capsules
2 teaspoons cocoa butter

Instructions: Cut off the tip of the capsules. In a small bowl, mix the oil from

 the capsules with the cocoa butter. 

Mix well.

Application: Gently apply around the eye area in the morning and the evening.

Green Eye Cream

Avocados are abundant in essential oils and B-complex vitamins that nourish skin inside and out. Niacin (vitamin B3) is especially important for healthy skin.

1 small cucumber
1/2 teaspoon mashed avocado

Instructions: In a blender, puree the cucumber. In a bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of the pureed cucumber and the avocado.

Application: Apply this gently to the eye area every morning and evening



Brighten Eye Cream

Avocados contain more protein than any other fruit. Their natural oils offer hydration. Sour cream will lighten dark circles.

1 teaspoon avocado
1/2 teaspoon sour cream

Instructions: In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Blend in the sour cream and mix well.

Application: Massage this gently around the eye area every morning and evening



Almond Soft Eye Cream

Almond oil is safe to use around the eyes. It can heal even red or irritated skin. Combined with mayonnaise, it perfectly softens to prevent fine lines.

1 tablespoon almond oil
1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions: In a small bowl, combine the oil and mayonnaise. Mix well.

Application: Gently apply around the eye area



Avocado Repairing Eye Cream

Avocados are high in vitamin E. When they are combined with vitamin E oil, you'll have a rich emollient that keeps fine lines at bay. Use sparingly.

1 avocado
3 vitamin E oil capsules

Instructions: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pit. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of avocado in a small bowl and mash it. Cut of the tips of the capsules. Squeeze the oil onto the avocado and mix well.

Application: Massage a small amount of this gently around the eye area.

A little potassium will hide even the most sleepless nights from under your eyes.

1 small potato
