Stress, mental fatigue, eye strain, not enough sleep, dehydration, too much sun exposure and ageing are a number of things that can lead to dark circles, bags and tired puffy eyes. Carrier and essential oils can be great at helping to reduce these and protect the skin. So we have chosen four circle busting powerhouses and put them together in a rejuvenating eye serum recipe just for you.
Jojoba oil is similar to your skin’s own oil and helps to hydrate and lock in moisture without being oily and greasy.
Rose essential oil can increase the skin’s permeability, allowing your skin to absorb more of the nutrients from the other ingredients , while at the same time helping to relieve stress, promote relaxation, reduce fine lines and slow free radical damage.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that will support skin health, increase elasticity and help with inflammation to keep the bags at bay.
Rosehip oil is a must in any eye serum or cream. Nourishing, moisturising and anti-aging, it boasts a variety of beneficial nutrients, including Vitamin A, which is great for reducing and preventing wrinkles and damaged skin, and Vitamin C, which encourages the body to produce collagen which boosts elasticity. It can also help prevent sun damage. Fun fact: in World War 2, British people were encouraged by the government to collect rose hips, which were made into a syrup for Vitamin C, as they had no access to citrus fruit.
