DIY Coffee Bean Under Eye Cream: A Natural Solution for Puffiness, Fine Lines, and Dark Circles

Unlock the secrets to rejuvenated under-eye skin with a homemade coffee-infused under-eye cream that pampers your delicate skin with rich, natural ingredients. This smooth, luxurious cream carries the delightful aroma of coffee, ensuring a sensorial experience while targeting concerns like puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles.

Why Coffee-Infused Oil?

The magic begins with coffee-infused oil, crafted using whole, unflavored coffee beans and olive oil. Ground coffee beans steeped in olive oil over low heat create a potent infusion known for its anti-inflammatory properties. This infusion process extracts the essence of coffee, making it a potent ingredient for targeting under-eye concerns.

Ingredients for Your Under Eye Cream:

  • 1/2 oz. coffee-infused oil
  • 0.25 oz. jojoba oil
  • 0.25 oz. rosehip seed oil
  • 0.75 oz. shea butter
  • 0.75 oz. cocoa butter
  • 0.5 ml lavender essential oil
  • 0.5 ml chamomile essential oil
  • 5 drops non-GMO vitamin E

How to Make the Coffee Infused Oil:

  1. Grind 3 tablespoons of whole coffee beans coarsely using a coffee grinder.
  2. Combine the coffee grounds with 4 oz. of olive oil over low heat for approximately 15 minutes.
  3. Strain the infused oil using cheesecloth or a coffee filter.

Creating Your Under Eye Cream:

  1. Melt the shea and cocoa butter in a glass Pyrex measuring cup in the microwave until fully melted.
  2. Incorporate the coffee-infused oil, rosehip seed oil, and jojoba oil into the melted butters and stir thoroughly.
  3. Using separate graduated pipettes for each essential oil, add the chamomile and lavender essential oils into the mixture.
  4. Optionally, include a few drops of vitamin E for added nourishment.
  5. Pour the final mixture into your desired containers.

Tips for Your Coffee Infused Oil:

  • The final color of your oil can vary based on the type of coffee used. Pre-ground and darker roasts result in a deeper-colored oil.
  • Straining the oil using a coffee filter produces a lighter oil compared to other methods.

The rejuvenating properties of coffee-infused oil, combined with skin-loving essentials, ensure a decadent treatment for your delicate under-eye area.
