Recipe For Tired, Puffy Eyes

A cluster of green grapesEver wake up looking like you had just a tad too much fun the previous night? Still look tired, and not refreshed? Run to your fridge! Grapes are a great solution to this problem. The fructose within a grape is great for soothing and bringing your skin back to life! They are also rich in elements such as potassium, calcium and vitamins C and E, making them great for your insides, too.

If you don't have time to whip up this recipe try slicing a chilled grape in half and rubbing your eyes with them. The coolness with soothe and reduce the puffy appearance, and the nutrients will help get rid of the darkness. For a more effective, long-term treatment, try the recipe below.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons beeswax
  • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
  • 2 teaspoons jojoba oil
  • 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
  • 1 teaspoon vitamin E oil
