DIY Dark Circle Remover Cream
Dark circles and under-eye puffiness can make you look tired, stressed, and older than you are. But instead of turning to store-bought creams packed with chemicals, you can make your own gentle, effective under-eye cream at home using just a few natural ingredients. This DIY dark circle remover is hydrating, brightening, and soothing — perfect for your nightly skincare routine.
Why This Works:
- Vaseline creates a protective barrier that locks in moisture and softens fine lines.
- Coconut Oil deeply hydrates and reduces inflammation, improving under-eye texture.
- Olive Oil is rich in antioxidants and helps lighten pigmentation while nourishing delicate skin.
- Cloves contain eugenol, a powerful antioxidant that boosts circulation and reduces dark discoloration.
- Honey is naturally anti-inflammatory and hydrates while gently brightening the skin.
- Almond Oil is packed with vitamin E, which targets dark spots and under-eye pigmentation.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon Vaseline
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4–5 whole cloves
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 drops almond oil
Method to Prepare:
-
In a heat-safe bowl, add Vaseline, coconut oil, olive oil, and the cloves.
-
Heat this using double boiler method for fe minutes. Stir gently until everything melts and the mixture becomes uniform.
-
Let the cloves infuse for 5–7 minutes while the oils are warm.
-
Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Strain out the cloves, or leave them in if you prefer continued infusion.
-

-
Pour the cream into a small, clean glass jar with a lid.
-
Keep it in a cool, dry place or refrigerate for extended freshness.
How to Use:
- Cleanse your face and pat the skin dry before bedtime.
- Take a small amount of the cream and gently dab it around your under-eye area using your ring finger.
