Ah, dark circles—those little shadows that show up even when you’ve slept like a baby 😴. Here’s a simple DIY dark circle remover cream using natural ingredients that are gentle on the skin and actually work over time.
DIY Dark Circle Remover Cream
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp almond oil (rich in Vitamin E, nourishes & brightens)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (moisturizes & reduces puffiness)
- 1 tsp cocoa butter (optional, for thicker cream & antioxidant benefits)
- ½ tsp vitamin E oil (capsules or liquid)
- 1–2 drops lavender essential oil (optional, soothing)
Instructions
- Melt oils
- In a small double boiler or microwave, gently melt coconut oil and cocoa butter until liquid.
- Mix ingredients
- Stir in almond oil and vitamin E oil.
- Add lavender essential oil if using.
- Cool & store
- Pour mixture into a small jar.
- Let it solidify at room temperature or in the fridge.
How to Use
- Wash face and pat dry.
- Take a tiny amount and gently dab under the eyes.
- Massage in small circular motions until absorbed.
- Use nightly for best results.
Tips for Maximum Effectiveness
- Always be gentle—the under-eye skin is delicate.
- Keep the cream in a cool, dark place.
- Combine with enough sleep, hydration, and sun protection for better results.
- For a quick morning boost, store the cream in the fridge—the cold helps reduce puffiness.
If you want, I can also give a DIY brightening serum version with cucumber + rose water + aloe that works even faster for dark circles.
