One of the things about making your own health and beauty products (besides knowing exactly what is going into them) is how SIMPLE they really are to make! Today’s post is the perfect example of this! Two ingredients…no measuring needed. You can’t beat that!
There is a lot of talk about the benefits of coconut oil but another oil that I’m very fond of is almond oil. Like coconut oil, it has a bunch of really great properties. Almond oil is loaded with essential vitamins, including vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant that helps keep the skin hydrated and fights free radicals. It’s also rich in fatty acids, which are great for your skin, and acts as both an emollient and a humectant because it softens skin, and then prevents moisture loss. It works wonders for people with dry and itchy skin.
Researching about how to stimulate eyelash growth I found that adding ONE DROP of Lemon essential oil to enhance the almond oil’s cleansing and stimulating properties and ONE DROP of Lavender essential oil to nourish lashes and follicles. This DIY eye serum moisturize and clean my skin, it’s helping to grow thicker, healthier lashes! Talk about “miracles”!
Ingredients:
Sweet Almond Oil and Aloe Vera Gel
Combine equal parts almond oil and aloe vera gel in a small flip-top bottle. Shake to combine. (You will need to shake it before each use because it will separate.) If you find the lotion is a bit too heavy, add more aloe, if you’d like it to be extra moisturizing, add more oil
If you have nut allergies, Apricot Kernel Oil is a great alternative.
You can purchase the oils on Amazon or at any health food store.
