Home Remedies for Dry Skin around the Eyes
Dry skin around the eyes is a major culprit in giving a tired and dull look to an otherwise hale and hearty individual. But again, the problem is not so serious that we must start running around to doctors and stand in long queues to get a solution for it. Beauty creams available in the market may advertise an instant solution to dry skin around the eyes, but why must we rely on them when the same outcome can be achieved sitting at home.
A few, tried and tested home remedies should suffice in giving the necessary hydration to the dry skin, and make your face glow again.
1) To get rid of dry skin around the eyes, it is often advised to put cucumber juice on the eyes. To do so, we need to grate the cucumber and crush the grated cucumber using a clean muslin cloth. This will give rise to the cucumber juice which we need. We then soak two pieces of cotton into this juice. Take these two cotton pads and dab it on the eyes till we get a cool and soothing feeling in the eyes.
2) Almond oil can also be used to combat dry skin around the eyes. Almond oil has to be applied by using the index fingers of both hands. The fingers must rub in circular motions over the eyes for approximately five minutes. The eyes should be left alone for the next couple of minutes and then thoroughly washed.
3) Grated potato is another solution for dryness around the eyes. We first need to grate the potato and then keep the finely grated pieces of potato over the shut eyelids.
4) Appling rose water around the eyes is also known to help avoid dry skin around the eyes. For making rose water we need to squeeze a four or five rose petals in a glass full of warm water. Once the petals are in the glass, we warm the entire water again. This rose water must then be cooled and two pieces of cotton must be dipped in it. These cotton pads must then be placed over the eyes so as to hydrate the dry skin around the eyes.
5) Grated avocados can also be applied around the eyes to hydrate them. All we need to do is grate the fleshy part of the fruit. The grated avocado must then be placed on the eyelids and left for a few minutes.
6) Another substance which can work wonders for the skin around the eyes is honey. To use it, we would have to dilute the honey to a large extent. One part of honey would need to be diluted in ten parts of water. We then have to mix the two substances thoroughly while warming them. We then wait for the mixture to cool and soak two cotton pads in it. The cotton pads must be placed over the eyes for approximately fifteen minutes.
On the other hand a certain way of protecting the skin around the eyes is by wearing sunglasses when going out in the sun. The sun is major dehydrating agent, responsible for loss of water from the body. Hence, wearing sun glasses prevents the skin around the eyes from coming in direct contact with the sun, thus protecting in from dryness.
All the above measures will ensure that you have beautiful and smooth skin around the eyes, which in turn will return the glow to your eyes.
