I have already mentioned that I am in love with cleansing my skin with olive oil. But my latest find is using Coconut oil as an eye cream. After doing some online poking around to learn more about it as a product, I decided to just purchase a jar at Walmart - right with the rest of the cooking oils.
Coconut oil is a solid under 76 degrees and a liquid once it gets a little warmer. So I put a spoonful of coconut oil in a little travel jar and usually use it like I would any other eye cream.
How I use it:
I use the coconut oil morning and night. At night I cleanse my skin with olive oil and warm water. Once I pat my skin dry, I use coconut oil under my eyes and on my eye lids. In the mornings, I rinse my face with warm water while in the shower. Then, I use the coconut oil before I put on any other eye makeup.
What are the results?
I immediately noticed how moisturized my under eye skin felt all day long. The crepe paper skin under my eyes disappeared. Now, after about three months that skin is firmer and much, much smoother.
But the big TA-DA came when I looked at a picture taken of me a week ago at a friend's baby shower. For the first time, I didn't see the dark circle normally under my left eye. I was not immediately drawn to that part of my face like usual. And I'm more critical of myself than anyone else.
So, I will keep using my simple skin care products. Olive oil to cleanse at night. Coconut oil as an eye cream morning and night. And, a check book that loves me because a little goes a very long way with these products, and I will likely spend less than $10 a year on my skin care routine.
