THE EYES HAVE IT
Parsley has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in collagen-making vitamin C, firming vitamin K and chlorophyll, which reduces puffiness and dark circles, says Christine Iverson in The Garden Apothecary: Recipes, Remedies And Rituals (Summersdale £14.99). Lemon juice brightens and raw honey is a soothing antibacterial. This mask keeps in the fridge for two days.
