Homemade Anti-wrinkle Cream For The Eye Contour

The eye contour is a very delicate area, so it must be kept well hydrated and cared for, especially from the age of 25. It’s common for people to see their first signs of aging appear right there.

Making a good homemade wrinkle cream for this area is possible and very easy to carry out. Below we will tell you everything you need to know about it.

How do we take care of the eye contour?

The entire area around the eyes is very delicate and suffers not only the effects of time, but also other factors:

• Continuous exposure to the sun: we must wear quality sunglasses and always avoid the time slot between 12 noon and 4 in the afternoon.
• Undiagnosed vision problems or use of inappropriate glasses or lenses.

• Excessive hours in front of the computer or television: they cause us eye strain and exhaustion that affects all the muscles of the face and that, often, we tend to have it even while we sleep.
• Lack of hydration: as in all the skin, this area also suffers a devitalization and demineralization if we do not drink enough water outside of meals.
• Difficulties in liver and kidney function: Liver and kidney health is related, respectively, to crow’s feet and bags under the eyes.
• Use of low-quality cosmetics.
• Lack of specific care in the area around the eyes: many women use a single lotion for the entire face. However, the eye contour requires more nourishing creams, especially for those with dry or delicate skin.
• The genetic factor also predisposes us to have the same wrinkles as our mother, grandmother, etc.
• Nutritional deficits: when our diet does not provide the skin with the necessary nutrients for it to be hydrated and flexible.

• Tobacco: smoking greatly worsens the appearance of the skin of our skin.

Advantages of a homemade wrinkle cream

In addition to the fact that a homemade wrinkle cream is very easy to prepare, it also has other advantages:

• Quality ingredients can be chosen according to preferences.
• Essential oils can be added to give it different scents.
• It supports various combinations of ingredients, depending on the preferences and needs of each skin type.

Ingredients

• Argan oil: deeply nourishes, removes blemishes and smooths the skin.
• Beeswax:  an excellent ingredient that allows us to solidify the mixture of oils and at the same time helps us to reduce inflammation of the skin and maintain the natural hydration of the skin.
• Geranium essential oil:  contributes to the regeneration of the skin and reduces inflammation of the bags under the eyes.
• Rosehip oil or cream: regenerating, nourishing and healing.
• Preparation

• In a glass jar add:
  • 1 tablespoon of beeswax (15 g)
  • 10 drops of geranium essential oil.
  • Another tablespoon of argan oil (8 g)
  • 1 teaspoon of rosehip oil (4 g)

• Place the pot to heat in a water bath until the wax melts and it can be mixed well with the rest of the ingredients, with the help of a spoon or spatula.
• The mixture is then placed in the container to be used, preferably made of glass and hermetically sealed, and allowed to cool.

You can use the homemade wrinkle cream every night before going to sleep. Although you could also take advantage of it in the mornings, the days that you are not going to leave the house with makeup. It would be advisable to apply it by gently massaging the ring finger.

It is not necessary that you store the cream in the refrigerator, since its ingredients will not lose their potential by being in a cool and dark place, at room temperature. However, in the summer you can store it in the refrigerator so that it is cool and pleasant to the touch when you apply it.

It would not hurt if you applied a serum for the eye contour every day. Especially when preparing the skin for makeup. In this way you will protect the area much better and prevent it from looking dry.
