Eye Wrinkle & Dark Circle Paste

contributed by the_kitchen_pharmacy 07 Jan | 05:57


This remedy is a natural and inexpensive way to reduce puffiness and smooth out crows feet. Gram (or chickpea) flour is used a lot in Indian beauty treatments as it helps smooth out wrinkles. Tomato paste and orange juice work well together to boost the circulation around the eye area, to reduce puffiness, while lemon helps to fade any discoloration and lightens any darkened areas. Finally, turmeric helps lock in moisture, which is really important for the under-eye area.

Ingredients
1 teaspoon chickpea flour (gram flour)
a squeeze of lemon
½ teaspoon tomato paste
a squeeze of orange
A pinch of turmeric

Preparation
Place one teaspoon of gram flour in a glass bowl. Then add half a teaspoon of tomato paste, a teaspoon of the juice of an orange and a squeeze of lemon.

Finally add a pinch of turmeric and mix all together.

Place it in the fridge for 10 minutes before using so that it works even better on reducing puffiness. Apply when needed and leave on for up to 5 minutes.

Always make from fresh or the active ingredients won’t be so effective.
