Eye Care - Methods and Remedies

Eyes are most sensitive and expressive part of your face.  Listed below are some tested methods for good eye-care.

i)  If the skin around your eyes is quite dry, apply cream over it by
    gently patting it over the area and wipe off  the superfluous or
    extra cream by tissue paper.

ii)  Your eyes' beauty has a direct bearing upon your diet.  Include
     such items in your food as have high vitamin A content.
     Carrots, turnip, apricots, etc. are a rich sources of Vitamin A.
     Also have lot of fibrous vegetables like beans so that your
     system remains unconstipated.   

iii)  Have as much water as you can.  Water drive out toxins from
      your body and also helps in keeping eyes remain clean and glowing. 

iv)  While using beauty aids, use only herbal products or
      hypo-allergic beauty-aids because they don’t cause any allergy.

v)  Always wash your eyes with cold water and never with hot water.

vi)  If you are used to having alcohol, slash its consumption to
      the minimum.  Alcohol not only adversely affects your eye-sight
      but also dries the skin, around your eyes, and leaves dark
      rings. SAME IS FOR SMOKING.

vii)  Use eye-make up very sparingly, for its excessive use damages
      the skin around the eye.

viii)  Use a soft brush to apply a little Almond oil on your eye-lashes
       before you retire. This application would make your eye-lashes longer. 

HOME REMEDIES FOR NOURISHMENT OF THE SKIN AROUND THE EYES:

   deep freezer and put them on your eyes.  This enhances the beauty
   of the eyes as well as eye-sight.

*  Rubbing a little of almond oil, around your eyes before you retire,
    would keep the skin soft and glowing.  The juice of a water-melon
    is also a very good substitute of almond oil.  This juice also
    takes away the wrinkles around the eyes.
