Summer Time is almost here and for those of you who don’t always have time for a day at the spa below are some great facials that you can give yourself at home with common household items and foods.
- For tired, puffy eyes: While you’re making your morning tea make sure you hold on to your leftover tea bags for this at home remedy. Did you know that the caffeine in tea bags can actually reduce puffy, tired looking eyes? If you couldn’t sleep last night, had a salty dinner or simply suffer from seasonal allergies; puffy eyes can be quite a nuisance.
Instructions:
- Prepare your tea bags by soaking them in water, squeeze them out and then immediately chilling them in the freezer for 5-10 minutes
- While your teabags are chilling (now this may be cold but it’s worth it) splash your face with cold water for 5-10 minutes.
- Once your tea bags are ready, lie down, close your eyes and place the frozen teabags on your (closed) eyes for 5-10 minutes. After the time is up, you should see a significant reduction of puffiness.
- Next apply your Neova eye cream and proceed with your day looking bright eyed and rested!!
