Refresh your eyes and get
rid of dark circles and puffiness
Feeling the heat? We know
that you are keeping yourself hydrated and even been taking care of your skin
to keep it healthy, but what about your eyes? Have you been looking after your
eyes to keep them protected from the harmful effects of UV rays? Just splashing
cold water to wash away dirt and keep them cool is not enough in this hot
weather. Your eyes need extra pampering too, as well as a break from sun time
and screen time.
It's only when we go to
sleep that our eyes finally get time to rejuvenate and feel refreshed.
Throughout the day they are constantly at work while we are stuck to our
laptops and cell phones or busy running errands. While a healthy diet plays a
crucial role in protecting our eyes, helping us get the much needed dose of
vitamin A, some external measures are also required.
Here are some easy ways you
can keep your eyes protected this summer using easily available ingredients:
1. Tea Bags
Are you a tea drinker?
That's perfect because you can make use of your used tea bags to take care of
your eyes. After brewing your tea, keep the tea bag aside to let it cool before
placing it in the freezer. Collect more tea bags and freeze. When you get back
home from work every day, take out two tea bags and place them on your eyes to
feel refreshed.
2. Cucumber
