One Shot Mask for Three Under Eye Problems

Natural remedy for under eye problems: We all have read enough about remedies for dark circles and puffiness under the eyes…the sliced cucumber, potato slices, tea bags and cold spoons  etc. Yes they do work! But we also found this interesting remedy which can help cure dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles under the eyes. This DIY eye mask is easy to make and use for treating these 3 under-eye problems.

Simple all you need is an apple, cucumber and a vitamin E capsule (available at the pharmacy).

Take the slice of a green (peeled) Cucumber and a peeled fresh red Apple piece and blend in a food processor or blender. To this paste squeeze the oil from the Vitamin E capsule and mix it well.

After washing your face apply the pack under the eyes. Take soft cotton patches or balls and dip them in ice cold water and remove excess water. Note they should be wet but not dripping. Put this wet cotton over the pack and rest for 15 minutes. Remove the pack  gently with the wet cotton and pat dry.

How is this beneficial?

• Cucumber naturally reduces under-eye puffiness.
• Apples are an excellent source of alpha-hydroxy acid, which works as a natural skin lightener.
  
• The vitamin E oil helps in keeping the skin soft and prevents wrinkles.
  
• The cold cotton patch helps to reduce the under-eye circles caused by exhaustion or stress and effective absorption of the pack.
  

Tip to prevent puffiness: Try sleeping with your head elevated to discourage fluid pooling under your eyes which causes puffiness.
