Puffiness and dark circles…under the eyes
I had a few queries wanting to know whether Aloe Vera is helpful in moisturising the delicate skin under the eyes, and also reducing puffiness.
Okay, this is what you need to do…
First, you need the following:
1 tablespoon fresh aloe vera gel
1 tablespoon cucumber juice (freshly extracted)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
2 capsules of vitamin E
Extract fresh cucumber juice. You can do this by blending cucumber slices and then straining the juice through a fine sieve, or cheesecloth, to remove any pulp.
In a small bowl, mix together the aloe vera gel and cucumber juice until well combined.
Pierce the vitamin E capsules and squeeze out the oil into the mixture.
Add the olive oil to the mixture and stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Store the mixture in a clean, airtight container in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.
After chilling, use a cotton pad, or your fingertips, to apply the mixture gently under your eyes.
Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel.
Repeat this process daily for best results.
