When it is about eyes we prefer to go for protective eye cream. The handmade eye cream is also considered good. Below it is discussed how to massage eye.
A lanolin based eye cream can be made easily with the following ingredients:
- 1 tablespoons lanolin
- 11/2 tablespoon almond oil
- 1 teaspoon powdered lecithin, and
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Melt lanolin over water bath and add almond oil to it. Remove from the heat and slowly add the powdered lecithin, then add cold water drop by drop. Mix it all together with a wooden spoon. Do not use perfume, as this may cause allergy.
Eye Recipes
To keep eyes sparkling, there are several simple home recipes as described below:
(a)rate half cucumber, strain it and keep in the fridge to cool. Take two pieces of cotton wool dipped in rose water and the cold cucumber juice, and place these on your eyes at least twice a day. You should lie down, and relax, and keep your mind free from tension, anxiety and worrying thoughts. Apart from relaxing your eyes, cucumber juice will lighten the darkened area around the eyes, especially when combined with lemon juice or lanolin cream.
(b) Prepare black tea (do not put milk) and allow it to cool. Soak cotton gauze in cold tea and use as eyes pads.
(c) Crush mint and apply around eyes. This will take away the darkness around the eyes.
(d) Dip cotton wool in the solution of witch-hazel and use as eye-pads. This is very effective for reducing the puffiness of eyes.
