Chamomile has Invigorating, rejuvenating and relaxing qualities. It is well known for its calming aroma and its anti-inflammatory, skin soothing properties. It is most recognized for its ability to heal wounds and abrasions and also provides anti-oxidation.
This Tuesday Treatment at home series will focus on eye care. The eye area is usually the first place a woman will notice the signs of aging. During the late thirties and early forties fine lines may begin to appear and under eye puffiness may start to become a regular occurrence. There are other factors that may cause eyes to swell and become puffy. This includes seasonal allergies, food sensitivities or maybe a late night out on the town.
I love to use chamomile in many of the products I make for skin care. I typically use it my sensitive skin care line because I love how calming it is to skin. We have chosen to use chamomile in this treatment because it has such great anti-inflammatory properties. These anti-inflammatory properties can help calm swollen tissue that can lead to puffy eyes.
Here is how to create a calming chamomile compress:
>2 chamomile tea bags (can be purchased at your local grocer)
>small bowl or mug
>1/4 cup water
>Place 2 chamomile tea bags in a small bowl or mug and pour a 1/4 cup of boiling water over top.
>Cover your bowl with a towel to keep the steam in.
>Let it cool and then place your bowl or mug in the refrigerator.
>When ready, squeeze the excess fluid out of the tea bags and place them over your eyes.
For additional comfort use an eye pillow with a washable cover (or cover in plastic wrap to prevent stains). Place the eye pillow over the tea bags that are on your eyes to relax the entire eye area.
Thanks for visiting our blog, we hope you enjoy your eye compress as much as we do!
