How to Make Wrinkle Reducing Eye Cream

We all want to look young forever, but unfortunately, age, along with exposure to sun and wind, takes its toll. The skin around the eyes is especially fragile and prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Fortunately, it's never too late to start taking care of our skin, and some natural wrinkle reducing eye cream is a great place to start.

Things You'll Need

• 2 small saucepans
• 4 tsp. avocado oil
• 2 tsp. vitamin E oil
• 6 tsp. apricot kernel oil
• 2 tsp. beeswax
• 3 tbsp. rose water
• 1/2 tsp. borax
• Pan of ice water
• 12 drops carrot seed essential oil
• 1 (4-oz.) cream or lotion jar

Instructions

1. Put 4 tsp. avocado oil, 2 tsp. vitamin E oil and 6 tsp. apricot kernel oil in a small saucepan and heat it over low heat.

2. Stir 2 tsp. beeswax into the warm oil until it melts.

3. Pour 3 tbsp. rose water into a separate small saucepan and turn the heat to low. Add 1/2 tsp. borax and stir until the borax is dissolved. Remove the mixture from the heat.

4. Set the saucepan containing the oils in a pan of ice water. Drizzle the rosewater mixture into the oils very slowly, whisking them to blend as you pour. Continue stirring until the mixture turns thick and creamy.

5. Allow the cream to cool, and stir in 12 drops of carrot seed essential oil.

6. Transfer the wrinkle reducing eye cream to a 4-oz. cream or lotion jar. Store the cream in the refrigerator for up to 2 months, or up to 1 month at room temperature.

7. Apply the wrinkle reducing cream to your eyes with your tip of your ring finger every morning and evening.
