9 NATURAL WAYS
TO PRETTIER EYES
1) The best overall eye tonic is eyebright (an herb). Make a tea of
it and either use the teabags or soak cotton balls or soft gauze in
the tea and apply to eyes as a compress while lying down.
2) For puffy and swollen eyes, make a wet compress of 4 Tbsp. freshly grated raw potato. Place on the eyes for about 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water.
3) To reduce swelling and for bags under the eyes, brew a cup of
strong rosehip tea. Soak 2 cotton balls in the tea or use 2 tea bags,
lie down and place over the eyes.
4) For dark cirles, cut a fresh fig in half, place a half over each
eye.
5) To soothe tired, irritated eyes, cut the end of a cumber into 1/4
in thick slices. Apply a cool slice to each eye.
6) Raw potato slices laid on sore eyes reduces heat and redness.
7) For eye puffiness, any tea bag (herbal is better, especially
eyebright), slightly cooled, placed on the eyes while you rest.
8) For tired or bloodshot eyes, soak sterile cotton balls or soft
cloth in cold skim milk. Place over eyes for 10 minutes. Rinse entire face in warm,then cool, water.
9) To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw potato in cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
