So after a little research and learning that the best active ingredient for dark circles and puffy eyes is caffeine, I developed a (super easy) recipe that works really well, and is very inexpensive to make!
Sure enough, this stuff worked instantly. I could feel the cooling of the product under my eyes, and no joke, it rid me of puffiness within 15 minutes of application. Problem solved. Puffies, begone!
What You’ll Need:
Pure Caffeine (powder form)
Your favorite moisturizer (I use my Dr Organics Manuka honey cream )
A few drops of jojoba oil, grapeseed oil or similar
1 oz cosmetic jar (find in travel section of shops)
A toothpick for mixing
Here’s how to do it:
Fill the jar with your favorite moisturizer, about 3/4th of the way full. Add 1/2 teaspoon of pure caffeine powder to the jar and stir with a toothpick until thoroughly mixed and you can’t see any powder remaining. Add a few drops of jojoba oil (or similar oil) to help thin the mixture, stir again until consistency is smooth. Apply on under-eye area as needed, and watch your puffies vanish!
I always prefer to make my own beauty products when I can, that way I know I’m not using any excessive ingredients that I don’t like or need. Let me in know in the comments if this recipe helps your puffy eyes!
Happy formuating Leila :)
