Eyes
are the most important and the most used organ of the human body.

colours).

wear sunglasses.

the eye area. They
can cause severe wrinkling.

pads soaked in cold
milk/ potato slices/cucumber slices/tea bags soaked in
lukewarm water on them.

causes unnecessary strain to
your eyes. This can also lead to dark under-eye circles.

(gently press down with the heel of your palm on your eyes).
When removing make-up, apply the make-up
remover with gentle
strokes on the eye area, wait for 10 seconds and then wipe off with
damp cotton wool pads. The ideal technique to use when wiping off the
remover and make-up is: Press the damp cotton wool down on your
eyes very gently and wipe upwards and outwards in one simple motion.

eyes. It is extremely
delicate and very
susceptible to wrinkling.
