Green tips - Eyes

Cold, weak tea makes a good eyebath for tired eyes. Just damp, lukewarm tea bags help to refresh tired eyes and reduce puffiness. Chamomile tea bags are especially good for soothing sore, irritated eyes. Don't leave any tea bags on longer than ten minutes as the tea can stain the skin. Swollen and puffy eyes can be relieved by smoothing warm olive oil around the eyes before relaxing for ten minutes with two cooled tea bags on the eyes. Dark rings can be reduced by using cooled peppermint tea bags on the dark eyey area for ten minutes. Other external treatments are half a fresh fig, grated raw apple or potato spread on a piece of gauze or thin cucumber slices.
