Coffee Eye Cream

Time for another beauty product, this time Coffee Eye Cream to help with those dark circles under my eyes.  Have patience as this one will take time! 

First we need to make some Coffee Oil.

This is the part that takes some time about 2-4wks as well as a few hours to filter! 

1 cup of oil (I use a Caster/Olive Oil Blend from Go Native from their DIY Lip Balm product)

6 tsp Coffee Grounds

1. Pour Oil and Grounds into a jar and shake to mix
2. Every couple of days shake the jar over a 2-4wk period
3. Filter the coffee using a coffee filter.  I filtered 3 times.

Next we use the Coffee Oil to make the Coffee Eye Cream

1 Tbsp Coffee Oil

2 tsp Argan Oil

3 tsp Jojoba Oil

18g Shea Butter

14g Cocoa Butter

10 drops Vitamin E Oil

1. Melt Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Argan and Jojoba Oil
2. Add Coffee Oil and Vitamin E Oil
3. Put in pots - I used 4x15ml pots
4. If in a warmer climate chill down in freezer for 15+ minutes until it solidifies a little.  It should end up a creamy light yellow mixture like the pic at the top of this post.

This mix will not go hard although you could keep it in the fridge/freezer if you prefer a cooler, more firm product.

To use pat gently under the eyes.
