This chapter is only going to be small and include 2 recipes for DIY eye masks.
Puffy Eye - Cucumber And Rose Mask
Rich in ascorbic acid and phytochemicals, cucumbers help tighten and soothe skin. But instead of placing cucumber slices over your closed eyelids, this blended mask will reach the inner and outer corners of the eyes.
You will need:
- half a cucumber
- 1 ounce of rose water
- blender
- cotton rounds
How to:
Cut your cotton rounds into two half moon shapes. This mask should make quite a few pairs, so cut more than you think you'll need.
In a blender, puree the cucumber and rose water until liquified. Transfer to a bowl, then soak the cotton rounds in the mixture, squeezing out excess and then re-soaking for optimal absorption.
Store the extra soaked cotton rounds in a Ziploc bag in the freezer for future use.
Thaw the eye pads for about 10 minutes before you use them. To apply, place the half moon eye pad underneath the eye, making sure to apply close to the bottom lash line. Leave on for 10-15 minutes.Wrinkle Fighting Eye Mask
You'll find egg whites in many anti-wrinkle masks for the face, and the eye area is not an exception. Egg whites have been known to reduce the appearance of fine lines, while antioxidant rich Vitamin E fights free radicals.
You will need:
- 2 egg white separated from the yolk
- 1 capsule or 5 drops of vitamin E
How to:
Beat the egg whites until they're frothy and then mix in the Vitamin E. Apply the mixture with your fingertips or a makeup brush to the under-eye area, careful not ignore the outer edges of the eyes where expression and squint lines form. Leave on for 10 minutes.Sorry it's short but thats all I have for you guys today. Remember to vote and comment if you have any questions or recommendations :)
