DIY Eye cream

What you’ll need:

• 3 tsp jojoba oil
• 3 tsp apricot-kernel oil
• 1 tsp beeswax
• 5 tsp rose water
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 5 drops carrot-seed essential oil

What to do:

• Put the jojoba oil, apricot-kernel oil and beeswax into a small saucepan and heat the mixture over very low heat just until the beeswax has melted.
• Remove from heat blend up all the ingredients with a whisk.
• In another small saucepan, warm the rose water over very low heat and add the baking soda; stir until the baking soda is dissolved, and remove from heat.
• Place the saucepan with the oils and wax into an ice bath. With a small whisk, rapidly stir wax and oils while drizzling in the rose water and baking soda mixture. The cream should set quickly.
• When the eye-wrinkle cream is cool, mix in the carrot-seed essential oil.
• Put the finished eye cream into a clean 2-oz. cream or cosmetic jar.

Your brilliantly concocted eye cream will keep for about a month at a cool room temperature, or 2 months if you refrigerate it.
