With its very thin skin, the eye contour is a particularly sensitive and fragile area. Over the years and with natural aging, the muscles of the body, including those of the eyelid, lose tone and end up relaxing, generating a more or less slight sagging of the eyelids (not to be confused with ptosis, a pathology affecting the levator upper eyelid muscle).

Fortunately, there are remedies of natural origin which, thanks to their anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties, prevent tissue flaccidity, providing them with all the nutrients they need to avoid premature aging.

1 – FIGS AND LEMON

By combining the properties of black fig with lemon juice, it is possible to obtain a mask rich in antioxidants and essential minerals, ideal for preventing drooping eyelids. Both ingredients nourish cells and help reduce the loss of collagen and elastin.

Grind 3 black figs and mix them with a teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply the mixture to your eyelids, being careful not to touch your eyes. Leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse with plenty of water.

2 – CUCUMBER

The vitamins and antioxidants in cucumber will tone your drooping eyelids.
Lie down before applying a slice of fresh cucumber to each of your closed eyes. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat every day until improvement then space out the treatment.

3 – AN EGG WHITE TREATMENT, TO APPLY ON THE EYELID CREASES

Egg white is not only edible, it also has the function of firming and tightening the pores of the skin and the result is magical since it is visible after just a few minutes. This tip will be perfect for firming your drooping eyelids, while lifting the skin of the eye, for a wider look.

First, clean your skin and eyes. Finally, check that your eyelids are clean and dry. Next, separate the white from the egg yolk. Keep your eyelids closed and dip a cotton swab into your egg white treatment. Apply it to the creases of your eyelids. Then rinse your face, paying particular attention to your eyes. Once dry, apply your face cream as well as your eye cream.

4 – COLD TEA BAGS

For this remedy you will need:

• 2 bags of green or chamomile tea.
• 1 glass of water.

Instructions

1. Start by moistening the tea bags with water, then put them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Once they have cooled, take them out. Lie down and place the cold sachets on your eyes and rest for about twenty minutes.

The tea decongests the eye area and tones the skin. It is part of anti-aging treatments to reduce dark circles and depuff the eyelid as well as bags under the eyes.
