Before you start the treatment, enjoy a cup of herbal tea. Try lemon and ginger if you feel under the weather, peppermint tea to calm stomach irritation or chamomile to de-stress. Sit for half an hour without your phone and just relax. While you’re relaxing with your mask, put the sparkle back in your eyes by popping two cool, damp green tea teabags over them. Green tea has anti-inflammatory qualities and will help strengthen collagen and elastin production, helping to tighten and firm the delicate skin under your eyes.
