Why Use an Under-Eye Roller?

The skin under your eyes is delicate and sensitive. Because of this, it’s important to choose natural ingredients and carrier oils that won’t cause irritation. Eye puffiness, dark circles, and dry skin are common signs of lack of sleep, fluid retention, or poor blood circulation. A cooling roller ball can be an effective way to help improve the appearance of dark circles, eye swelling, and under-eye circles while boosting hydration.

Benefits of Castor Oil

Castor oil, derived from the seeds of the Ricinus communis plant, is a powerhouse ingredient in natural skincare. It contains a high concentration of ricinoleic acid, a fatty acid known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help soothe puffiness and reduce swelling in the under-eye area.

Castor oil also promotes blood circulation, which may help brighten the appearance of dark circles and tired eyes caused by lack of sleep. Its deep moisturizing abilities make it ideal for dry skin and delicate skin, helping to smooth out fine lines and improve elasticity. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, castor oil also protects the skin from free radicals and environmental stressors, making it a popular choice for under-eye rollers, eye creams, and natural remedies.

Ingredients for a Castor Oil and Frankincense Under Eye Roller

• 10ml amber glass roller bottle
• 10 drops frankincense essential oil
• 5 drops turmeric oil (curcuma longa)
• Castor oil (or half castor oil and half watermelon seed oil)

How to Make a Castor Oil and Frankincense Under Eye Roller

Prep the Bottle

Use a clean, dry 10ml amber glass roller bottle. Amber helps protect the oils from light, keeping them fresh longer.

Add Essential Oils

Drop in 10 drops of frankincense oil and 5 drops of turmeric oil. These oils support skin regeneration and reduce puffiness.

Fill with Carrier Oils

Top off the bottle with castor oil. For a lighter blend, use half castor oil and half watermelon seed oil or another preferred carrier oil.

Cap and Shake

Secure the roller ball top and shake gently to mix everything together.

Store in the Fridge

Chilling the roller adds a cooling effect that helps with eye puffiness and fluid retention.

Apply Gently

Roll under each eye in a circular motion, being careful not to get too close to your lash line. Use morning and night for best results.

How to Use a Castor Oil and Frankincense Under Eye Roller

After cleansing your face, gently roll the oil under each eye using a circular motion. Avoid getting too close to your eyes. A little goes a long way. Use this roller once or twice a day for best results. You can even keep it next to your regular eye cream as part of your daily skincare routine.

Using the roller when it’s cold can help constrict blood vessels, reduce fluid retention, and improve blood circulation in the area.

Safety Tips

Always do a patch test when using pure essential oils on your skin. Even though this recipe uses natural oils, everyone reacts differently. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. This post does not provide medical advice. Talk to a healthcare provider if you have any concerns about your skin or the ingredients listed.
