2 Homemade Masks to Remove Wrinkles Around the Eyes
The skin around the eyes is one of the most delicate on the face. Over time, this area tends to show signs of aging more quickly, such as fine lines, loss of firmness, or deep wrinkles.
Fortunately, there are natural and effective masks that can be prepared at home, using gentle ingredients but with powerful regenerating properties. Here are two easy-to-make homemade recipes, specially designed to care for and hydrate the eye contour.
How to prepare anti-wrinkle masks
These natural masks, along with good care habits, can help you smooth wrinkles, improve elasticity, and restore youthfulness to your eyes without resorting to expensive chemicals.
1. Soothing butter, chamomile and linden mask
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon dried chamomile flowers
- 1 teaspoon dried linden flowers
- 100 ml hot water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted shortening (at room temperature)
Preparation:
- Place the chamomile and linden flowers in a cup and add the hot water.
- Cover and let sit for 15 minutes to let the herbs release their properties.
- Strain the infusion and reserve 4 tablespoons of the liquid.
- Mix those 4 tablespoons with the butter until it forms a smooth cream.
- Let the mixture cool and store in a clean jar with a lid in the refrigerator. You can keep it for 4 to 5 days.
How to use:
Apply a small amount to the eye contour in the evening, before going to bed. No need to rinse. The mixture works overnight, moisturizing and soothing the skin.
Proceeds:
- Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties that reduce puffiness and redness.
- Linden softens the skin and promotes cell regeneration.
- The butter acts as a moisturizer and strengthens the skin’s protective barrier.
2. Nourishing Honey, Yolk & Oatmeal Mask
Ingredients:
- 1/2 tablespoon pure honey
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon ground oats
- Warm water (optional)
Preparation:
- In a bowl, mix the egg yolk with the honey until well integrated.
- Add the ground oats and mix again. If the texture is too thick, add a few drops of warm water to soften.
- The mixture should be creamy and easy to apply.
How to use:
With clean and dry skin, apply the mask to the eye contour with your fingertip, without pressing. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse first with warm water and then with cold water to tone the skin.
Proceeds:
- Honey is a powerful antioxidant that helps keep the skin hydrated and firm.
- The egg yolk provides proteins and lipids that deeply nourish the skin.
- Oatmeal soothes irritations and acts as a gentle exfoliant.
Useful tips
- Constancy: To notice visible results, apply these masks 2 to 3 times a week, alternating them if desired.
- Sensitivity Test: Before the first use, test the mask on a small area of the face or wrist to avoid allergic reactions.
- Avoid direct contact with eyes: Apply the masks around the eye area, but without them coming into contact with the eyelids or tear ducts.
- Adequate rest: Sleeping at least 7 hours a night promotes cell regeneration and enhances the effects of these masks.
- Good nutrition: A diet rich in antioxidants (fruits, vegetables, seeds) also improves the appearance of the skin from within.
- Daily hydration: Use an eye moisturizer every morning to protect your skin throughout the day.
