Behind the Mirror: Self Made Eye Gel

Hello my dear readers,

Pentru versiunea în română aici.
I know I haven't been posting here for some time now, but I have been pretty busy lately and I will show you with what. I have been exploring a little more in depth the whole "make your own cosmetics" area.
Today I will share you my experience with an eye gel I did recently. All the ingredients and the receipt I got from elemental.
Here you can see the final result.

The gel promises to ameliorate the wrinkles and help reform the area around your eyes.
I have been using it for about 2 and a half months now and I have definitely seen an improvement on my eye area. The wrinkles seem to have been slightly diminished. It smells divine of roses from the rose water (and I am not a rose scent fan, but this one hasn't started any of my nausea attacks - yet). It also has some hyaluronic acid (which helps treat the wrinkles), caffeine (which helps fight against puffy eyes), aloe (to hydrate the sensitive area around the eyes) and corn flower water (helps keep the skin around the eyes fresh).
Another pro about this gel, is that it is mostly inexpensive and very easy to make.
I use this gel only mornings before my concealer (I currently use one from MAC, because the Clinique one was too heavy and creased).
If you wish to start making your own cosmetics, I would recommend you to start with an easy product like this one, because it is easy to make, it's results are motivating to try make other products and you know that all the ingredients are natural and your skin can benefit fully from all their properties.

Smile, it is good for the skin!
Love,
Alex.
