3 DIY Remedies to Get Rid of Dark Circles
We’ve all woken up with dreadful (designer) bags or dark circles under our eyes and likely headed straight to our makeup bags for a quick fix. Instead of packing on the concealer to try to cover them up, let’s tackle the problem head on by using some natural ingredients from your kitchen instead!
1. DIY Caffeine Eye Serum
Since coffee is naturally full of antioxidants, it’s a great ingredient to use as an eye serum to firm, tighten, and restore the skin. The caffeine in coffee is great for reducing dark circles and puffiness by improving blood circulation. So, not only does coffee wake you up, but it wakes your skin up too!
You can make your own coffee eye cream at home! All you’ll need is:
- 1/2 cup of ground coffee (light roasted has more caffeine)
- Sweet Almond Oil
- Avocado Oil
- Serum Bottle
- Cheesecloth
Instructions:
- Start by adding 1/2 cup of ground coffee to a jar, then add the sweet almond oil to cover the coffee grounds. Close the jar and let it sit for 4-5 days to infuse.
- Take your cheesecloth and strain the infused oil into a clean jar or bowl. Squeeze as much of the oil out as you can!
- Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and stir.
- Bottle it up! You can also add a drop of vanilla essential oil to help with anti-aging , and for a delicious smell of course.
That’s it! Now you’re really getting your morning coffee.

Ingredients:
- Coconut oil to moisturize and diminish fine lines
- Unflavored gelatin to seal in moisture in strengthen the skin
