It's easy to create a homemade anti-wrinkle eye cream, scrub or mask.In this matter, the preparation process is of great importance:

- Prepared cosmetic preparations must be stored exclusively in glass, tightly closed (screw) containers.

- Long-term storage of such cosmetics is not allowed, a maximum of 14 days.Therefore, it is not recommended to prepare a large volume of cream.15-20 ml of the product will be enough.
- Expired or questionable ingredients should not be used.This is not safe for your health!
