Effective home treatments for the Eyes

Effective home treatments for the delicate, sensitive skin around the eyes

The skin around the eyes is very delicate. Unlike the skin on the rest of the face, it is very thin and does not have as many muscle fibers, which is why it is the place where the first wrinkles appear. This part of the face requires a good deal of care. Here are several home treatments that are safe and good for your eyes and you don't have to spend lots on those products that you don't trust.




Green tea and cucumber mask for tired eyes







Ingredients:


½ of cucumber


1 bag of green tea


Boil the tea and cool it. Peel the cucumber and slice it in circles. Add the circles to the green tea brew. Refrigerate until chilled. Place the cool, tea-soaked slices of cucumber onto your eyes for 10 minutes. No rinsing required.


Calming and hydrating potato mask for puffy eyes


Ingredients:


½ of raw potato


1 tablespoon of moisturizer for sensitive skin


Finely shred the potato and mix with the moisturizer. Spread mixture on cotton makeup removal pads and place over eyes for 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water.


Whipped cream and parsley poultice for better circulation and less puffiness


Ingredients:


2 teaspoons of whipped cream


1 teaspoon of fresh parsley


2 small pieces of gauze


Finely chop parsley and mix with whipped cream. Wrap mixture in two pieces of gauze to form poultice. Place over the eyes for 10-15 minutes.


Salvia compress for night-time care







Ingredients:


1 teaspoon of salvia


½ cup of water


Bring water to boil and add salvia. Let boil for 10 more minutes. Divide the brew into two bowls and put one of them in the refrigerator.

Instead of salvia you can use chamomile or dill seeds.
