Made with natural ingredients which are proven to reduce swelling and darkness, this DIY under eye mask is easy to make and will cost you pennies! This DIY under eye mask is not JUST for the eyes, but can also be used for the entire face to help reduce signs of aging such as fine lines and crows feet, minimize the appearance of dark spots and sun spots, and also cure dryness!
You’ll Need:
1 tbsp grapeseed oil (if you don’t have grapeseed oil, you can substitute for almond oil)
1 tbsp aloe vera gel (try using fresh aloe vera gel for even better results. Check here how to make your own aloe vera gel!)
2 tbsp evaporated milk OR buttermilk
1 tbsp matcha green tea powder
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 drops lemon essential oil (optional)
Why These Ingredients WORK:
Grapeseed oil is high in vitamin E, and therefore is great for anti-aging, dry skin, and scars.
Aloe Vera soothes dry, irritated skin, and also regenerates cells. It’s also one of the best natural ingredients you can use on your skin because it “wakes up” tired, dry skin.
Lemon Essential Oil
tightens the skin and helps with discoloration, dark spots, scars, and of course, under eye darkness.
Directions:
Mix all of the ingredients in a small bowl.
Apply to the under eye area in the morning and leave on for about 20 minutes.
Remove with cold water and a soft washcloth.
Use every day or as often as you’d like!
Can also be used on entire face 2-3 times a week to tighten skin and help with pigmentation.
