The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin, and this is why we tend to age faster around the eye area. Avoid using harsh chemicals around your eyes, and instead nourish your skin with our natural eye gel.

Shelf Life: 6 months

Benefits: Aloe vera helps to relieve puffiness and calm sore or tired eyes. Almond oil and vitamin E both help to lighten dark circles and reduce fine lines.

Tips and Tricks: You can also use this eye gel as a face serum for sensitive skin types. Puffiness and dark circles around the eye can tell us a lot about our health.

It may mean that you aren’t getting enough sleep, you have allergies, or you’re stressed.

Variations: Sub almond oil for grapeseed oil or avocado oil.

How to Use: This eye gel can be worn both day and night. Place 1-2 drops onto your ring finger and lightly tap eye gel under and over your eyes.

Be careful not to pull/tug on your eyes too much when applying.

Level of Difficulty: Easy
