When I heard about Anti-Puff Eye Rollers for the first time I knew RIGHT AWAY that I needed one! Well, who doesn't?! No wonder there are more and more of those on the market, yet their natural versions are still hard to find and hard to afford, that's why I had to come up with my own;-)))) It turned out quite easy to make plus I decided to add some moisturizing, firming and anti-aging ingredients to it so that I don't have to apply any eye cream after that - yes, I'm lazy like that;-) Ok, let's get it rolling?
%20%E2%80%93%20Homemade%20Recipe%20for%20Under%20Eye%20Circles%20and%20Bags.)
--2 parts Aloe Vera Gel - moisturizes, firms and renews skin cells (source) - I love Lily of the Desert one, because it's all natural and contains vitamins E, C and A which have great anti-aging properties.
--0.5 part Pure Whole Leaf Aloe Vera Juice - same benefits as aloe vera gel, but in a liquid form which makes it easier for application - it usually goes with 1% lemon juice in it
--1/8 part Vit.C powder (as ascorbic acid) (optional) - one of the most effective anti-wrinkle ingredients (source), yet I added just a tiny bit, since my Aloe Vera Gel already has some vit.C in it
--1/8 part Caffeine Powder (optional) -one of the most effective ingredients to fight dark circles and under-eye bags (source)
HOW I USE IT:
I store the roller in the fridge (cool temperature reduces swelling and under-eye bags - source) and apply every morning as an "awake and sing" remedy for my eyes;-)

WHAT I DO:
I
first mix the juice and the powders (caffeine and vitamins) Caffeine doesn't dissolve easily, so the juice needs to be room temperature or slightly above. But ones the solution cools down caffeine crystallizes, so it's important not to add too much of it. After that I stir in my aloe vera gel and pour the mixture into a roller tube.

Teri
Oh, you're so sweet, Teri!♥♥♥ I'll do my best to add as many products as possible to the store - we have some amazing new ones to come;-))))
DeleteI actually had an eye roller on my shopping list but now I might just make one myself! :D Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful recipe Maria! I love your blog and work so much!
ReplyDeleteJust a few questions regarding this recipe, what to do if I don't have a bottle of aloe leaf juice? Can I juice aloe leaves in my own blender and whether I should blend it with the gel in it or after extracting the gel? Also, how much water should I add to the leaves for juicing? :) x

Thank you so much, Jadirah - I'm glad you found it helpful;-)) As for the juice - you don't have to use whole leaf juice (it's just what I was using), you can definitely use just regular aloe vera juice (which is easier to find and it has the same benefits)
DeleteThanks again Maria for a great and perfectly timed post. I was looking at my dark circles, swollen eyes and wrinkles today and felt very old. I am definitely going to make some of this for me!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad this post might be helpful, Karen! The way our eyes feel (and look;-)) plays a huge role, doesn't it? I can't even think straight in the morning until I place something cold on my eyes;-)))

ReplyDeleteSo can I use this on my whole face to firm?
ReplyDeleteI'll try this !! but I have a question. Can I use this every night also? Should I store the roller in the fridge all the time? About measures ...... "part" how much means in ounces or tbs?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much
