The eye area being a fragile area of the face, it is important to take care of it. With age, this part of the body can show the first signs of premature skin aging, especially when it does not benefit from appropriate care. Discover how to take care of the eye area and limit the effects of time on your eyes with a natural preparation.
The skin around the eyes is particularly thin and requires daily care to shine. Wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles, bags… These are the harmful effects of fatigue, stress, UV rays, pollution, dark circles, but also the impact of age on this delicate area. And because your eyes deserve love and attention, we reveal the secret of a nourishing, hydrating and anti-wrinkle cream based on coconut oil that you can now integrate into your beauty routine for dazzling eyes.
Hydration is key
The eye area requires anti-aging care to preserve the youthfulness of the eyes. Many cosmetic products promise to lift and smooth the eye contour. In addition to their high price, they are not always very effective in mitigating the effects of aging. Why not turn to natural products that not only deeply nourish and hydrate the skin, but are also inexpensive and save money? Here are two devilishly effective ingredients: coconut oil and vitamin E capsules.

Why these ingredients?
Coconut oil is the skin’s ally to restore vitality to the eye area. Thanks to its fatty acids including lauric acid and its antioxidants, it has moisturizing and emollient properties. In addition, its antimicrobial and antifungal effects reduce the risk of infection. This prodigious oil thus helps protect against the harmful effects of free radicals which can cause premature aging of cells.
Vitamin E helps preserve the health and youthfulness of the skin thanks to its antioxidant action. It is present in many anti-aging creams. Also called tocopherol, vitamin E is fat-soluble. Provided by food, we find this vitamin in egg yolk, vegetable oils, whole grains, nuts but also in fruits and vegetables. Applied in capsules to the skin, it helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles and eliminate brown spots on the skin.
To prepare this regenerating cream, you will need:
6 ½ tablespoons of organic coconut oil.
3 vitamin E capsules
1 airtight jar
Start by heating the coconut oil in a water bath at low temperature and add the vitamin E capsules. Once the ingredients are mixed, let the mixture sit for a few minutes before pouring it into a previously sterilized airtight jar. Store this cream in a dark, cool place.
Every morning and evening, apply this cream to the eye area, tapping with your fingertips to blend it into the skin. After a few uses, your eyes will regain their freshness.
The golden rules of youth:
Long-term preservation of the youthfulness of the eye contour requires the daily application of certain gestures.
Hydrate yourself inside and out. It is not enough to spread a moisturizing cream on your skin, but also to provide your body with enough water to hydrate it properly (6 to 9 glasses per day).
Eat healthily by limiting sugars and fats and consuming fruits and vegetables loaded with antioxidants to regenerate body cells, such as ginger, strawberries, apples, etc.
Protect yourself from UV rays because the sun’s rays dry out this particularly thin and fragile part of the body and thus cause wrinkles and fine lines. To do this, choose good protective glasses and a cream with SPF.
Sleeping well helps regenerate the skin. It is advisable to sleep on your back, with your head elevated, to drain the fluid under the eyes.
Remove makeup from your eyes and face before sleeping to regain a toned look when you wake up.
