Instructions
To Make Coffee Infused Oil
  1. The first step is the longest, infuse some sweet almond oil with ground coffee. You can also use olive oil or coconut oil, it depends upon you.
  2. Now, add ground coffee to a jar, then just enough sweet almond oil to cover the coffee grounds.
  3. Close the jar tightly and let it sit in your cupboard for 4-5 days or a week to infuse.
  4. Using a cheesecloth, strain the infused oil into another jar or a clean bowl. Squeeze as much of the oil out as you can.
  5. You can keep this coffee infused oil for a year in an airtight jar.
To Make Under Eye Cream
  1. Make a double boiler and add beeswax and shea butter in the bowl. Stir occasionally until everything is melted and combined.
  2. When the oils and butter get melted remove it from heat
  3. Now, add coffee-infused oil, rosehip oil, essential oil and vitamin E oil into the bowl and mix well.
  4. Store it in an airtight glass jar at room temperature or keep it in a fridge to get thicken.
How To Apply
  1. Under eye cream will absorb better if you place it on a clean surface. Take care to wash your face with a cleanser before you apply eye cream. Do this whether you are using it as a night cream, a day cream, or both. This under eye cream is oil-based and can be a bit heavy for day wear, but that is up to you!
  2. After washing and drying your face, apply any serums or toners that you use. The under eye cream should be the last thing that you apply in your skincare routine.
  3. Now, pat the cream onto the area under your eye.
  4. Do not rub, as you could tear the gentle skin. You only have to gently massage the eye area with your fingertips slowly.
  5. Allow your skin to absorb the cream. If you feel that your eye cream stings your eyes, you might be applying it too close to bedtime. Try putting it on earlier in the evening so it has time to absorb. Always avoid the eyelids.
Notes
1. You can keep this under eye cream for about 2-3 months. Do not let the water to get inside as well as keep it away from direct sunlight. Water can introduce bacteria that can spoil the mixture.

2. Keep in mind that DIY coffee and frankincense under eye cream take some time to thicken. I’ve had products like this take a day or two to thicken at room temps and up to several hours to thicken fully in the fridge.

Precautions

1. It contains essential oils so do a patch test before applying it to face.

2. If you are new to making DIY recipes, please note that beeswax is extremely difficult to remove from metal utensils and pots. Though not impossible, it is a big pain! I will recommend you to use glass utensil to melt beeswax or shea butter.

3. While shea butter is quite safe and can be beneficial for the skin, you should avoid shea butter or shea butter products if you have tree nut allergies.
