Puffy Eyes & Cucumber

Have you the sparkle in your eyes, the sparkle that denotes a happy and healthy you. Taking care of the eyes is simple and easy. Looking after your peepers will help prevent dark circles and puffiness from occurring. Before trying unfamiliar beauty products onto the skin - you must always ask your doctor for advice first.

Home made remedy that is very affective for clearing up puffy eyes includes cucumber and potato. Reduce puffy eyes with this recipe below.

Take a raw potato or cucumber
Grate small
Blend to a fine consistency in a blender
Strain the excess juice till there is only the pulp mash left.
Make a cup of tulsi tea
Mix the tea and the pulp well
Freeze to make ice cubes.
Use the cubes to dab puffy eyes.
Rinse round the eyelids gently and pat dry, becareful because the skin is very sensitive around this area.

Eye massage is very good to help reduce puffiness. Puffiness of the eyes mainly occurs due to accumulation of fluids. Using your finger gently press along the eyebrow and around the eye socket. This stimulates the lymphatic system and helps drain excess fluid. Another little advice using a kitchen utensil to help is, with the aid of a metal tablespoon. (Not a ladle) Take a rounded spoon and place it in the fridge to cool. When cold enough place the rounded part of the spoon against your eyes. This is also an affective method to reduce puffiness
and giving your eyes that fresh healthy appearance.
