Tip 1

Want thicker, darker and longer eyelashes? Its not that difficult. Like your skin your eyelashes also need moisturization and the number 1 reason it falls out because its dry and dehydrated. Same thing applies to your hair too, if you don’t condition and moisturize your hair frequently what do you get? Dry, Brittle and Rough hair and a mess of Hairfall.

Tip 2

Tired of hiding your Puffy Eyes? You look like you have just woken up after sleeping like a log for 2 days? Don’t worry, here’s a solution for you.

Puffy eyes are the result of fluid retention and if you have noticed they usually get worse during PMS because we tend to retain more fluid than usual during PMS.

Before trying any recipe you gotta first ditch your Salt! I don’t mean ditch it completely but try and cut down on salt if you are prone to Puffy Eyes, specially during PMS.

It might sound like a cliché but you must drink 6-8 glasses of water to flush out that uninvited fluid who’s happily sitting on your eyes. Sleep with your head elevated so that the fluid doesn’t go and accumulate near your eye area. Don’t even think of trying out Preparation H as a quick fix because God knows what and all ingredients that thing has and you don’t want those nasties anywhere near you let alone your precious eyes.

Here’s the recipe to de-puff your eyes. It also works on Dark Circles so its a 2 in 1 Recipe

Steps:

1. Boil some water if you were making a normal herbal tea and dip 2 Green Tea Bags. Let it brew for 30 minutes.

2. Strain it and let it sit in the fridge for an hour or so.

3. Place the tea bags on your eyes and relax for about 20 minutes.

Your puffiness would have gone by now. If you want a quick fix you can place two frozen spoons on your eyes.

Tip 3

Dark Circles spoiling your beauty? Lack of sleep is number 1 reason why you get dark circles so make sure you get 8 hours of sleep every night even if it means spending a little less time on Facebook, I know how much we all love being a Social Butterfly but not at the cost of our beautiful eyes.

Well, they are not so easy to get rid of and will take some time but you can definitely lighten them.

Tip 4

Crow’s Feet can make you look 10-15 years older and its no fun. So why let those crow’s feet spoil your Beauty? Try this recipe to say goodbye to crow’s feet. Did you know Guava can help you get rid of crow’s feet? Guavas have 5- 10 times more Vitamin C than oranges.
