DIY Coffee Eye Patches
Make your own DIY coffee eye patches for a refreshing addition to your morning skincare and self-care routine. These homemade under-eye patches are easy to make with simple ingredients and feel especially soothing when chilled in the refrigerator. Make a batch ahead of time and keep them ready for your next at-home spa day.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup brewed coffee
- 1/4 cup unflavored gelatin
- 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Round silicone mold
Instructions
- Brew the coffee and measure 1/4 cup while hot but not boiling.
- Stir in the honey and aloe vera gel until fully dissolved.
- Sprinkle the gelatin over the warm liquid while whisking continuously to prevent clumping.
- Continue whisking until completely smooth. If the mixture begins to set too quickly, gently warm it in a water bath until smooth again.
- Pour into a shallow round silicone mold.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until fully set and firm.
- Remove from the mold and cut in half or into crescent shapes to fit underneath the eyes.
How to Use
Place the patches underneath clean eyes for 10–15 minutes.
Storage
Store extra patches in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 1 week. Discard if there are any changes in smell, appearance, or texture.
