Coffee Under Eye Cream to Get Rid of Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles
If you’re tired of waking up with puffy eyes and stubborn dark circles, this DIY coffee under-eye cream might be your new favorite solution. Caffeine isn’t just a morning pick-me-up—it’s also great for stimulating blood flow, reducing water retention, and tightening skin when applied topically.
Why Coffee Works for Under Eyes
Caffeine has anti-inflammatory properties and constricts blood vessels, which helps reduce swelling and discoloration under the eyes. It also boosts circulation, helping to reduce the appearance of tired, dull skin.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground coffee or instant coffee
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or almond oil)
- 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
- 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the coffee with coconut oil until well blended.
- Add aloe vera gel and stir until smooth.
- Add vitamin E oil if using, and mix again.
- Transfer the mixture into a small container or jar with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for a cooling effect.
How to Use
- Wash your face and gently pat dry.

Tips
- Use daily for best results.
