Been partying all night? Working/studying late again? Staying up to
watch your favourite
Korean soap drama while you sob over how sad it is?
And the next thing you know you couldn’t even recognize yourself in front of the mirror?
What had happen to my eyes?!
Well, it’s never too late to realize it now :)
I’m here to teach you 3 simple tricks to make eye masks that
soothe tired eyes! And you don’t even need to spend a fortune on it! (*Please
note that results takes time and loads of efforts. Not forgetting getting enough
rest too.)
Trick 1. Cold Milk
Eye Mask
All you need is some cold milk and 2 cotton pads.
Soak the cotton pads into cold milk and place it over your
eyes. Now lie down and relax for 15-20 mins :) Once done, simply rinse it off
with water.
If you think milk is too runny, you can add 1 tbsp of baking
soda to 15ml of milk. Whisk it till smooth and rich and chill it in the
refrigerator for half an hour. Then soak in the cotton pads and use it as eye
masks.
Milk will help to moisturize your eyes area to prevent
wrinkles while the cold temperature in milk will help to reduce puffiness in
your eyes.
I recommend doing it twice a week.
Trick 2. Tea Bags Eye
Mask
Don’t throw away brew tea bags!
Remove the tea bag from your tea before you drink and fridge
it overnight. Once chilled, place it over your eyes. It has soothing effects to
your eyes. Remove it after 30 mins and rinse your eyes with water.
Another option is to dip the used tea bag to slightly warm
water (make sure is not too hot) and place it over your eyes. Remove it after
15 mins and rinse off with water. The warm temperature will help to promote
blood circulation around the area of your eyes. This will help reduce dark circles.
Tea contains caffeine that helps to reduce eyes puffiness. I
recommend doing it twice a week.
Trick 3. Tomato Slush
Eye Mask
This is my all time favourite trick! First, chill the tomato
and if you’re using medium size tomato, simply cut it half and blend the half
into slush.
Next, take a piece of cotton pad and peel off a thin piece
of cotton. Spoon the tomato slush onto the cotton pad and cover it back with a
thin piece of cotton. Do the same for the other cotton.
Now lie down and place it over your eyes and relax. Place it
for 30mins. I prefer not to rinse off its essence as it is not sticky– just gently
massage off any excess juice. I recommend doing it 3 times a week.
Tomato contains anti-oxidants that prevent wrinkles and has
vitamin C to help brighten the eye area. Chilled tomato slush also helps to
reduce puffiness :)
