How to restore sparkle in your eyes using flaxseeds, sage and linden blossom
For this cosmetic procedure you need to prepare two infusions. The recipe for the first is as follows: take 1 tsp. mixture (linden blossom and flax seeds), pour a glass of boiling water over it, then leave for 20-25 minutes. Separately brew sage: for this 1 tsp. dry leaves of this herb should be poured with ½ cup of boiling water, cover with a lid and leave for 10-13 minutes. Then soak cotton pads in the first and second solutions and alternately apply to your eyes. At the end of this procedure, eye cream is applied to the skin.
Potatoes will help restore the beauty of your eyes
Peel one medium-sized potato tuber, then grate it on a fine grater and add 1 tbsp to the resulting pulp. wheat flour, as well as 2 tsp. cow's milk (preferably homemade milk). This paste mixture should be wrapped in gauze and applied to the eyes. After 13-15 minutes, the “compresses” are removed, the eyes are washed with chilled tea and a moisturizer is applied to the skin.
The canons of beauty are changeable, just like fashion. Everyone has their own ideal of perfection, which can change over the years. Some people like slanted eyes, while others prefer round eyes with long eyelashes. But everyone is attracted by his brilliant, sparkling gaze. Everyone wants to have a healthy sparkle in their eyes, regardless of age. Preserving beauty and youth is not easy these days. Constant work at the computer, daily nervous stress, fatigue, air pollution, poor nutrition - all this leads to premature aging of the skin and the loss of its former sparkling look.

I remember when I was pregnant with my son, I somehow came to the urologist, because... I had cystitis before pregnancy - I needed to be monitored. He examined me, even carefully felt my uterus through my stomach (it was 12 weeks) - he was so happy - “You’re growing!” he said. I saw this doctor for the 3rd time in my life - and he was so happy for me and said: “You have such a sparkle in your eyes, you are simply glowing with happiness, your family is probably carrying you in their arms!” I came across such a funny guy, but I still remember his words, although more than 4 years have passed.
Well, of course, I was glowing with happiness - but how could it be otherwise? We had been planning a baby for a long time - it didn’t work out right away, we were undergoing treatment - so when I became pregnant, I cried with happiness on the ultrasound couch. After all, children are the meaning of my life. I don’t know - why am I still destined to live on this Earth?!! I want to raise children, take care of them, help with their problems and enjoy their successes. Yes, motherhood turned out to be a much more serious and responsible thing than I expected at the planning and pregnancy stage. After all, now you will constantly worry about your dearest person in the Universe. Sleepless nights, when the child cries hungry and you have no milk, a temperature of 40 degrees at one year old and an ambulance that takes an hour and a half, hospitalization with scarlet fever at 2 years old, the son did not speak until he was 3 years old, a year of treatment with a neurologist and speech therapist - and we chat equally with everyone in the kindergarten. This is my life now and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world! But I wanted to once again experience all the joys and worries of motherhood, so that my son would have a brother or sister - and oh, happiness in October I became pregnant. I was happy about the good tests, my belly growing very quickly during my second pregnancy, enjoying life... and again my friends began to note that I was somehow different, smiling all the time and generally so happy...
December 14, 2010 - ultrasound room and again I’m crying... only now I’m shaking with grief. The doctor’s words are like a sentence - “non-developing pregnancy”... I cried for several days, cried in the emergency room before cleaning (the doctor shouted at me “Don’t cry! Your nose will become clogged, you won’t be able to breathe - they won’t give you anesthesia!” He doesn’t understand that in 5 minutes They will remove what until recently was MY!!! LIVING!!! FAVORITE CHILD!!!). I’m roaring even now, although 10 days have already passed, I’m not in any New Year’s mood, I don’t need gifts, the only thing I needed was that I lost...
I know that women here experience much more serious losses, I don’t despair, I’ll get treatment and go back into battle! But now it’s very painful and there are questions in my head - For what? Why me? What did I do wrong? But no one will ever give me an answer to them... and there is no more sparkle in my eyes... not yet...

Many believe that this will help wash away the negative energy accumulated during the day. This is the easiest way to restore shine and shine to your eyes.
Another rule is to give your eyes more rest. Try not to overexert yourself on the computer or TV. Use any free minute to your advantage. Do simple gymnastics: close your eyes for a second, then open them and blink frequently for 10 seconds. This will help not only give your eyes their former brightness, but also preserve vision.
Don't forget about proper sleep. It will definitely return sparkle to your eyes and healthy appearance to your skin.
Before and after: eye gloss
After a sleepless night watching the monitor, we test eye drops
After a sleepless night watching the monitor, we test eye drops
Eye drops should be considered no less important a cosmetic product than foundation and putty for acne or dark circles under the eyes. Not only do they help keep your eyes from popping out after a ten-hour workday, but they also eliminate the side effects of your unhealthy lifestyle. To prepare this review of the most popular drops, we sat at our computers all night, not forgetting to rub our eyes with our sticky hands from eating fast food.
Test one: Masha
Product: Sante DE U PLUS E Alpha (Santen)
Cost: 800 rubles
Indications for use: chronic redness, conjunctivitis, inflammation of the eyelids, itching in the eyes, blurred vision, as well as for the prevention of myopia and allergies.
Ingredients: vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), natural vitamin E (D-α-tocopherol acetate), aminocaproic acid, chlorpheniramine maleate, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride, tonic agent, rdn agent, polyoxyethylene castor oil
Result: Masha understood the secret of the therapeutic effect of the drops: this miracle of Japanese pharmaceuticals stings your eyes so much that for about 15 seconds you simply cannot think about anything but your eyes. And when you focus on the pain, even your vision becomes better. It was painful, but I managed to get rid of the redness: the vessels were no longer noticeable, the whites and mucous membrane in the corners of the eyes became lighter.
Test one: Sasha
Product: "Okumethyl" (Alexandria Co. For Pharmaceuticals and Chemicals Industries)
Cost: 170 rubles
Indications for use: conjunctivitis, tissue irritation, itching in the eyes, fatigue and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the eyes
Ingredients: zinc sulfate, diphenhydramine hydrochlorite, naphazoline hydrochloride, sodium citrate, citric acid, methylene blue dye, sodium hydroxide
Result: a dye is actually added to Okumetil, which makes the whites blue, like thrush eggs. An experiment with this harsh remedy showed that it stings the eyes more pleasantly than Sante, but does not refresh for long. But the whites become piercingly, unnaturally pure. As a cosmetic product that tidies up red rabbit eyes, Okumetil is best.
Test one: Anya
Product: Visin Classic (Johnson & Johnson LLC/ Keata Pharma Inc.)
Cost: 285 rubles
Indications for use: conjunctivitis, irritation when wearing contact lenses, itchy eyes, fatigue
Contains: tetrizoline hydrochloride, boric acid, sodium chloride, disodium edetate, benzalkonium solution, sodium borate
Result: the eyes, accustomed to many years of daily use of the thermonuclear Okumetil, first decided to shed tears: at first Visin seemed weak to them and spoiled visibility. After 10 minutes, the pain in the eyes went away, but the whites and eyelids still became a little lighter. Visine is a remedy for the faint of heart who are afraid of pouring ominous-looking okumethyl blue into their organs of vision.
Test one: Dasha
Product: Visine Pure Tear (Johnson and Johnson LLC/ Farmigea S. p. A.
Cost: 430 rubles
Indications for use: conjunctivitis, irritation when wearing contact lenses, itchy eyes, fatigue
Contains: TS-polysaccharide, mannitol, sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate, chloride
Result: two products of the same brand differ not only in composition and price. They are produced in different ways in Italy, and the “Classic” one is made in Canada. In the first minute after using the drug, Dasha had a crazy look, and after half an hour her eyes became very dry. The redness has not gone away. After “Pure Tears” you want to quickly use some other remedy to get rid of the discomfort.
How to use eye drops correctly?
Tilt your head back. Place 1-2 drops into the inner corner of each eye.
To distribute the drops evenly over the surface of the eye after instillation, blink 3-4 times.
What not to do:
Do not pull the upper and lower eyelids with your fingers. This will have a terrifying effect on others, but will not help the procedure in any way.
Do not try to aim at the pupil and do not point the tip of the vial directly at the mucous membrane. You can cause an infection, touch the surface of the eye with the bottle, or pour in too much liquid.
Always remove contact lenses before the procedure.
Do not allow the bottle dispenser to come into contact with the surface of the eye and do not treat the dispenser with detergents.
Do not use one drug at the same time as another. This may change their action.
Compresses for eyes and eyelids
Let's move on to procedures that can be done at will or as needed. Here are several options for compresses and masks that will help restore youth to the skin around the eyes and get rid of unnecessary wrinkles.
- Take fresh potatoes and grate them on a fine grater. Wrap the resulting mass in gauze and place it on your eyes. Keep it until the juice dries. Potatoes have the ability to smooth out wrinkles. The mask is made infrequently.
We use regular milk at room temperature. Soak cotton pads in them and place them on your closed eyes for about five minutes.
To relieve swelling you will need parsley. Grind a bunch of fresh herbs to release the juice. Apply the resulting mixture to your eyelids for 20 minutes, then wash off.
To relieve redness of the eyes, a herbal decoction is suitable. We take chamomile, dill, mint, parsley. We brew herbs and create contrasting options. One is cold, the other is warm. We apply it to the eyes, soaked in a warm broth, then in a cold one. Alternate five or six times for 3-4 minutes.
Important! After compresses, be sure to apply a light nourishing eye cream. Proper and regular application of eye compresses is beneficial not only for beauty, but also for health. Not only will your eyes sparkle, but your vision will also improve slightly.
Folk remedies are good, but it’s difficult to do without cosmetics. Many women ask the question: how to make glitter and create a mysterious and bright look is almost impossible. Eyes are a reflection of our feelings, our mood.
Cosmetics will help hide imperfections and give expressiveness to your eyes.
It is important to remember that each cosmetic product should be suitable for the skin and not cause discomfort. Use proven means. Use cleansers and micellar solutions. Skin cream is chosen depending on the time of year and skin type. In summer you can use light gels, and in winter - nourishing creams.
Sunglasses
A few words about sunglasses. Some people perceive them as a stylish accessory, and this is wrong. To protect our eyes and preserve vision, it is necessary to use protection from direct bright rays. Direct exposure to sunlight, especially the scorching sun, spoils the skin, dries it, causes fine wrinkles to form around the eyes, and the eyes themselves become inflamed.
Sunglasses will help protect and protect your skin and eyes from premature aging.
Where does the sparkle in the eyes come from?
First of all, this is the result of the release of dopamine - the hormone of pleasure, which confirms to a person that he is doing everything correctly and fulfilling the evolutionarily laid down program. It is also called “victory hormones.”
Doctors know that the wounds of winners heal faster and easier than those of losers - which is due to the release of these hormones. In fact, this is not one hormone, but a whole group of control substances that largely shape human behavior.
The release of dopamine and its group is greatly promoted by a powerful positive stress state.
Positive stress is intense joy, an experience of happiness, emotional uplift and euphoria. All of this is stress, and often even stronger than negative stress, but they have a rather positive effect on the body of a healthy person.
