Eyes are like a window its a most important and beautiful part of Your body. Eyes are also very sensitive part, so its a very important to take care it for very carefully.
Your eyes are often the first thing people notice about you when they see your face. Tired, puffy or red eyes can be less attractive and add years to your age. Too little sleep or too much stress can exacerbate tired or puffy eyes. Try these tips to restore your eyes’ youthful appearance, clarity and brightness.
1: Place cucumber slices on your eyes.
Slice a couple of thin slices from a fresh cucumber. Place these over your eyes for about 10 minutes or until the cucumber slices get warm. Cucumbers have high water content, and this water will transfer to your skin, helping to hydrate the area around your eyes.
2: Place chilled black or green tea bag on your eyes.
Tea bags have long been known as a good remedy for puffy eyes. Place two wet tea bags in the freezer to chill them. They do not need to freeze overnight, since you want to be able to lay them on your eyes comfortably. Green and black tea contain bioflavonoids, which are known to assist in the body’s reactions to allergens and inflammation, among other benefits. Place the tea bags over your eyes for about 10 minutes, or until the tea bags are warm. Rinse your face with cold water.
You can also rinse your eyes in green tea or chamomile tea as a cleanser. Steep a tea bag in boiling water in a mug. Allow the tea to cool at least to match your body temperature. Wash your eyes with the tea, and then wash your face as you normally would.
3: Use cold spoons on your eyes.
Freeze two metal spoons overnight. Place the rounded sides of the spoons against your eyes in the morning. They will feel very cold, so you will likely need to place them on your eyes for as long as you can manage and then take them off to give your eyes a rest. This will increase blood flow to your eyes and reduce puffiness.
4: Make a mask of egg white.
Beat a few raw egg whites together. Apply this mixture to your eyes as a mask and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Rinse off your face with cold water. This mask will make the skin around your eyes feel tighter, which may help your eyes look more youthful.
5: Use potato slice.
Potatoes are astringent, which will help reduce puffiness. They also have catecholase, an enzyme that combats dark circles by brightening the skin under the eyes. Cut a couple of slices from a raw potato. Put these slices in the fridge or freezer to chill them (about 15-30 minutes). Place these slices on your eyes for about 10 minutes or until the slices are warm. Rinse your face with cold water and pat dry with a towel.
6: Use cotton balls soaked in cold milk.
Pour a small amount of cold whole milk into a cup. Soak two cotton balls in the milk until they are saturated with milk. Lay back with your head resting on a towel to catch any drips. Place the cotton balls on your closed eyes for about 10 to 15 minutes. Wash and rinse your face, and pat dry with a towel.
7: Slice strawberries to put on your eyes.
Strawberries are useful in reducing puffiness because of their anti-inflammatory properties, and they also contain alpha-hydroxy acids, which are typically included in expensive face creams. Alpha-hydroxy acids enable the skin to slough off dead cells, making skin look younger. Cut the tops off a couple of fresh strawberries, and slice up the strawberries. Place the slices over your eyes for about 5 minutes. Wash your face with soap and water.
8: Use herbal remedies.
There are a number of herb-based remedies that can help reduce puffiness in eyes and restore clear, bright eyes. Some of these remedies include rose water, mint leaves, lavender, fennel, honey and cardamom, turmeric and amla. Search online for specific recipes and directions on the proportions for these mixtures.
Warning
If your eyes are puffy, red, irritated or swollen, you may be suffering from a medical condition, such as a style, conjunctivitis (pink eye) or an eye injury. If you suspect any of these or other medical issues, consult your physician.
* Wear sunglasses when you are outside.
Protect your eyes from UV rays by wearing sunglasses. If you’re out in the sun, you have a tendency to squint more frequently, and your eyes will develop wrinkles and fine lines around their edges. Wearing sunglasses, especially larger frame ones, will reduce this tendency to squint and will also protect your eyes.
* Reduce environmental irritants.
Allergens, smoke, haze and other materials in the air may irritate your eyes, contributing to redness, puffiness and general irritation. Reducing your exposure to these irritants may help reduce your eyes’ adverse reactions and help make your eyes look and feel better.
Use eye drops to reduce redness that may be caused by allergens. Eye drops like Visine helps eliminate redness and makes the whites of your eyes appear whiter, which will in turn make your eyes appear brighter.
* Eat healthy food.
Reducing the amount of foods that contain refined carbohydrates and sugars, as well as wheat, can help your body process foods better. Decrease the amount of unhealthy foods you eat, particularly at night. Increase your intake of foods rich in vitamin A, C and E, including vegetables such as spinach, kale, carrots, and collard greens, and fruits such as oranges, melons, strawberries, peaches and avocados. Also eat more protein, such as poultry, red meat, eggs and dairy.
Dark circles under the eyes may be a sign of a dairy or gluten intolerance or other food allergy. If you continually have dark circles under your eyes, you may want to try eliminating certain foods from your diet to see if this improves the condition of your eyes.
* Don't smoke and alcohol.
Smoking irritates the eyes and can cause redness. It can also dry out the eyes. Eliminating smoking from your daily habits can help your eyes restore their natural color and hydration.
alcohol dehydrate your body and add to puffiness and redness to your eyes. Cutting down on your intake of both will help your body restore its balance of hydration. Remember that it's not just coffee that has caffeine; some foods also contain caffeine, such as chocolate. Alcohol and caffeine also can interrupt good sleep patterns, which may interfere with you getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night.
* Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.
Getting enough sleep every night will ensure that your body is rested and consequently that your eyes look rested. Get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Going to bed and getting up at consistent times will help your body adjust to getting the right amount of sleep.
