If you’re wondering how to get rid of dark circles under your eyes as well as general puffiness, then you’ll be relieved to know that natural solutions exist. This homemade eye serum relies on the combination of essential oils – one special oil in particular that rivals coconut oil for skin health – plus aloe vera gel.
Rosehip oil protects the skin and increases cell turnover because it contains vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin D, and B-carotene – a form of vitamin A. It’s also rich in essential fatty acids, which convert to prostaglandins (PGE) and are involved in cellular membrane and tissue regeneration.
Meanwhile, this eye serum for dark circles and puffiness also uses lavender oil, an antioxidant-rich oil that happens to be the most popular essential oil in the world. It’s combined with lemon essential oil, which also contains powerful antioxidants and helps nourish the skin.
Making this serum is a cinch. Simply combine these three oils in a glass spray bottle along with one-half ounce of pure aloe vera gel, of which over 40 studies have shown it has far-ranging dermatological purposes.
Before you hit the sack, simply cleanse your face and remove any makeup. Spray this eye serum for dark circles on your face, making sure your eyes are shut. Then gently massage the serum under and around your eyes.
Within a few days, you should see a noticeable reduction in your dark circles and eye puffiness. This recipe makes enough serum for 20 applications.
