Avocado-Almond Rinse


A rich masque for your eyes.(great for dark circles





Ingredients:


5 drops almond oil


3 slices ripe avocado


Instructions:


Blend almond oil into avocado, smear around eyes. Rest 5 minutes. Rinse with cool water( its ok if you dont have almond oil)





Vitamin e is a great skin brightener too





Preventing Puffy Eyes:





Stay hydrated!!! If you are thirsty, you are dehydrated. When properly hydrated, your urine will be nearly clear. (Note that some drugs and foods can alter the color of your urine.)





Lower your salt intake. The body can only store salt in fluid suspension - which will gather in the skin around your eyes. (Bonus: Lowering your salt consumption can improve your overall health.)





Never sleep wearing eye make-up. Regardless of how tired you may be, always use an eye make-up remover and continue until the cotton ball or pad shows no signs of make-up. Use a cotton pad rather than a tissue because it is less irritating. Removing eye make-up will prevent it from entering the eyelid and causing irritation.





Beware of bacteria. Speaking of eye make-up鈥o not use mascara or any other eye product that is older than a few months. Bacteria that have grown in the make-up would love a new home in your eyes, and will cause your eyelids to swell. On this note it is probably a good idea not to share your eye products with anyone else either.





Be sure you get enough quality, regular sleep.





Sleep with your head elevated to allow better circulation and prevent fluid from collecting around your eyes.





Sleep on your back so that gravity does not route fluid directly to your eyes.





Getting Rid of Puffy Eyes:





Dip cotton balls in ice cold cucumber or potato juice and let rest on eyes for 10-15 min





Wear a mask that is filled with cold water or gel for a few minutes when you wake up in the morning.





Wrap pieces of ice in paper towels and place them on your eyelids for a few minutes. The cold will reduce the swelling.





Keep your eye creams in the refrigerator. The cool cream will help reduce your puffy eyes. When applying the cream, gently tap it onto your eyelid with your ring finger, so as to stimulate fluid drainage.





Soak cotton-wool pads in a bowl of ice-cold milk and then squeeze most of the liquid out. Place the pads on your eyes and repeat as they warm up for about 15 minutes. This will also brighten the white in your eye.





Dip cotton balls in ice water, and then squeeze the water out. Apply the cotton balls to your eyes for 5-10 minutes.





Place black or chamomile teabags soaked in cold water on your eyelids for 15 minutes. The tannic acid in tea will constrict the blood vessels and reduce inflammation. To accelerate drainage, gently press from the inside corner to the outside corner of the swollen eye.





Place slices of cucumber, potatoes, or apple over the puffy eyelids for 10-15 minutes. Potatoes will reduce dark circles under the eyes and apples have pectin which aids in anti-oxidation.





Give your eyes a salt bath by soaking cotton pads in a saline solution or a solution of one teaspoon of salt in one pint of hot water. Place the pads on your puffy eyelids for a few minutes.





Apply a hemorrhoid cream to the puffy area around the puffy eye, being EXTREMELY CAREFUL not to get any in your eye. Be sure to look for a cream that contains yeast and shark鈥檚 liver oilWhat are the best eye creams for Milia (whiteheads under the eyes)? One that helps with bags and fine lines?
