Now Make Your Own Eyeliner at Home with Natural Products

Love to line your eyes on a daily basis? Did you know that the store-bought eyeliner you typically use is filled with preservatives like lead, aniline, turpentine, and thimerosal? While these commercial eyeliners may help your eyes look beautiful, they are not worth the risk to your well-being. Fortunately, there’s a simple solution – homemade eyeliners.

If you want to keep things natural, DIY eyeliners should be the way to go. Not only will these eyeliners save you money, but they’re also safe to use, as they contain rich all-natural ingredients that are friendly to the skin. Moreover, making your own DIY eyeliner will most certainly be cost-effective. The best part about homemade eyeliner is that it is super simple to make. Today, we will show you three amazing eyeliner recipes that you can easily make at home.

1. Beeswax and Coconut Oil Eyeliner

This is a great eyeliner recipe that uses beeswax and coconut oil. Beeswax can create a protective layer on the skin and has anti-inflammatory properties too. Its moisturizing ingredients are incredibly hydrating to your lashes and will promote hair growth and prevent hair breakage. 

 

Ingredients 

 

* 1/16 teaspoon beeswax ​

 

* 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil 

 

* 1/4 teaspoon distilled water 

 

* 2 activated charcoal capsules ​

 

* 2 drops of vitamin E oil.  

 

Steps 

1. In a saucepan, add beeswax and oil. Heat on medium until melted. 

 

2. Remove from stove and pour into a small container. 

 

3. Now add the activated charcoal and vitamin E oil. 

 

4. Gently add the water. Mix well until you reach the desired consistency. 

 

This liquid eyeliner can be applied with an eyeliner brush. It will last for about a month.

2. Activated Charcoal Eyeliner

Activated charcoal is the basic ingredient used in any homemade black eyeliner recipe. It’s a fine black powder made from charcoal that can be easily found at drugstores in capsule or powder form. For this simple eyeliner recipe, we will combine activated charcoal with distilled water.  

 

Ingredients 

* 1/2 teaspoon (2 capsules) activated charcoal 

* 1 teaspoon distilled water. 

 

Steps 

1. In a small bowl, add activated charcoal. Then add the distilled water. 

2. Mix well until a paste is formed. Store in an airtight container.  

 

3. Cocoa Powder Eye Liner

If you're bored of using black eyeliner and want a different dark shade for your lashes, then try this cocoa powder eyeliner. It helps create that rich brown liner and gives your eyes a different look. 

 

Ingredients  

* 1 tablespoon of organic cocoa powder 

* 2-3 drops of water or rose water 

* 2 teaspoons coconut oil. 

 

Steps 

1. In a small bowl, add a tablespoon of cocoa powder.  

2. Now, add the rose water and coconut oil and mix well. Keep the consistency as thick as a gel. Store in an airtight container. 

 

Note: Use a clean brush while making any of these recipes to ensure you don’t introduce any bacteria to the mixture.

Unable to sleep well? Try this DIY essential oil spray to sleep better

Lockdown making it difficult to sleep?

The lockdown has impacted all of our sleep cycles in such a way that going to bed at 3 a.m seems like the new normal. Even sleeping for longer hours is not helping anymore. If your shut-eye routine has gone for a toss, be rest assured that you are not alone. 

Since, a messed up sleep cycle is a problem that needs immediate attention, here is an easy spritzing solution you can make at home to get better sleep every day. All you need is three simple ingredients:

What you will need:

Distilled water -Lavender oil -Chamomile oil -Rosewater -A spray bottle to store this

How to prepare?

To start with, take a handy bottle and start adding essential oils, one by one (15-20 of lavender oil and 10 drops of chamomile oil) into the bottle. You can also use a paper funnel to easily transfer the same. After that, pour distilled water and rose water into the bottle in equal quantities.
Once done, mix it well. Using distilled water will ensure that there are no impurities. It also helps prolong the life of your essential oil diffuser.

Close the nozzle well and keep it near your bedside. Spritz this oil diffusing spray on your pillow or on the crevices of your bed before you go to sleep. One can also spray this natural perfume on the clothes for relaxation.

You can also add more drops of essential oils into the mixture if you need a more potent solution. Make sure to store in a cool place. Do not spritz this onto a pillow, bedsheet or fabric which is already wet or damp.

Try aromatherapy for better sleep

Aromatherapy is a good medium to help the body relax and catch a goodnight's sleep.
This essential oil mixture works like a natural sleeping aid which helps the body relax and destress after a long day of toiling. It contains natural oils which soothe the nerves and release tension. While lavender adds a beautiful fragrance along with rose water, chamomile is often referred to as a mild "tranquillizer" or sleep-inducing agent.

Benefits of using chamomile essence

Chamomile has been found to contain strong notes of antioxidants in it, 'apigenin' which helps calm the body. It directly binds to the receptors in the brain which are associated with anxiety and hence, induces sleep. People who struggle to sleep or have chronic anxiety are often recommended to drink chamomile tea to let go of stress and unwind. Chamomile can also improve your sleep quality if taken in a moderate quantity on a regular basis.

How does lavender help?

Lavender, too, has been widely hailed for its destressing benefits. Branches of aromatherapy suggest using lavender flowers (petals) or the natural oils in any environment to promote better sleep, relieve anxiety and overall wellness.

Are they safe to use?

Whether inhaled or consumed as a medicinal aid, both these oils are therapeutic and safe to use. However, one should be careful about the quantity. Excessive chamomile has been known to induce hypersensitive and allergic reactions.

What else can you do?

If you have been facing trouble sleeping well lately, making certain changes to your lifestyle can help. Remember these tips:
-Your bedroom should be dark and free of any distractions.

-Limit your screen usage before you go to sleep.
-Monitor your diet and physical activity well. Too less of exercise can create sleep problems as well.
-Listen to calming music before going to bed.
-Maintain a proper sleep and wake schedule.
-Try natural healing methods, such as meditation to calm down the body. There are plenty of resources available online.
-Avoid having excessive caffeine throughout the day.
-If possible, install a blue light filter on your phone, which can limit the blue light which disrupts the production of melatonin and disturbs body's natural circadian rhythm.
