Homemade Intensive Eye Cream Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp shea butter

- Transfer the mixture into a glass jar or a tin and use underneath the eyes and on the eyelids every night before bed.
Benefits of Homemade Intensive Eye Cream:
Shea Butter stimulates collagen production, prevents wrinkles and fine lines, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles after just a few uses. Shea butter also helps with puffiness and reduces irritation.
Coconut Oil is full of fatty acids which plump up the skin. It boosts circulation and keeps the skin supple, firm, and strong.
Rosehip oil and geranium oil are both used extensively in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines as well as preventing them.
Use every night before bed for younger looking eyes!

I love love rosehip, can’t wait to try this one. Right now I wash my face with baking soda coconut oil AMD rosehip

I’m looking for clarification on the rosehip oil you mention. Do you mean the rosehip moisture oil I find in the beauty aisle or rosehip essential oil? The moisture oil is composed of a variety of other carrier oils and then infused with rosehip.
Thank you for your time.
Hi Susan,
I was actually referring to rosehip essential oil (sorry about that), but I’m sure you could probably also use the other kind as well, as long as the ingredients are natural 🙂
