if you just can't seem to get rid of those dark circles under your eyes...

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • two tea bags(not peppermint!)
  • two chilled cucumber slices
  1. Step 1

    Take two tea bags and warm them in water(use a teacup so you can drink it when your done.)You do not want them to be too hot to the touch.
    Remember the skin under your eyes as well as your eyelids is thinner than most of your skin. Be gentle with this area. You will want to place the tea bags directly onto closed lids. Allow the teabags to cool completely before removing them.

  2. Step 2

    After you have done step one, take your chilled cucumber slices and place them directly on closed eyes. It's a good idea to keep them refrigerated while preforming step one. This way they will brighten and "wake up" your eyes after their sauna session with the teabags.

  3. Step 3

    You may repeat steps 1 and 2 if needed. and when you're finished you can drink your tea:)

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember that this procedure does not take the place of proper skin care,or a full nights rest.
  • DO NOT USE A PEPPERMINT OR CITRIC TEA FOR THIS-IT COULD DAMAGE YOUR EYES!!
