• Make sure to remove debris from the lower part of the blender, or it could build up and cause your blender to not mix the ingredients properly.
• To distribute the ingredients thoroughly, be sure to mix it deliberately slowly.
• The Aloe Vera gel must heated congruently with the other oils, and a 10 second microwave heating should do just fine.
• Additionally, mix the ingredients again with an egg beater, to procure a beautiful cream, at least if it appears gooey or inappropriate for use around your eyes.
• In case you do not have any beeswax available you can opt for carnauba, a soy wax or emulsion, to replace the missing beeswax.
• Always take into consideration asking a medical expert before making and applying this solution.
• Bear in mind that everything expires, so if you feel like it begins to look or smell weird, discontinue its use.
• As soon as you see some adverse reactions on your skin, discontinue use right away.
• Avoid applying coconut oil near the eyes as that may clog your tear glands and cause dry eyes. Dry eyes occur when the tear ducts in your eyes become unable to produce natural tears. It is a very bothering condition and may even lead to more serious irritations.
