first, an arnica recovery eye cream...
i must admit it has never been my habit to use an eye cream. i just could not be bothered. when i learned about the benefits of arnica to treat dark circles, i decided to give it a try. i tested and tried a few recipes and was very happy with the final result - a light-textured arnica eye cream which i am using every morning and night now. aloe, cucumber and seaweed extracts are blended in for cooling and rejuvenating the delicate skin around the eyes. vitamin B5 and elastin marine was added to minimise fine lines.
i also enjoy so much the blend of rose geranium and grapefruit essential oils. i would just open the little pot and give the cream a good sniff! i think i am addicted to this cream!
the other one is a jasmine hydrating face cream...
as always, i wanted something simple as far as skincaring is concerned. targeted at the transitional season of autumn and occassional, sudden change in humidity, i made this face cream with excellent hydrating properties brought along by vegelane - an emollient derived from olive oil, which is very easily absorbed into the skin, therefore without leaving a greasy feeling. i would apply the cream on my face and watch it magically absorbed within the next minute or so!
the combination of jasmine floral water and ylang essential oil delivers a pleasant floral scent, coupled with geranium which has a mild toning effect. i also added greentea herbal extract to help tighten skin and reduce puffiness, and vitamin E to heal scarred tissues. a little bit of my all time favorite - german chamomile hydrosol - to help soothe minor skin irritations.
i was happy to have found that little cute pot for the eye cream, at the same household shop i got the pillbox for containing the insect bite balms for last season. i also like this pump bottle for the face cream. the tip of the pump head would not clog and it looks quite elegant. to top off, i added decorations using some rub-on stickers, which may not be entirely waterproof.
i hope you will like the skincare items as much as i do.
