How to help tired and irritated eyes

Overwork, stress, and working at the computer negatively affect the entire body, including the eyes. Special eye baths will help relieve fatigue and irritation of the eyes:

For these purposes, it is best to purchase a special glass from a pharmacy.
For eye baths, use tea or a decoction of chamomile, dill, and parsley.
The glass with the solution is placed to one eye, the head is thrown back.
The eye is closed and opened several times, and with the eye open, make circular movements with the eyeball.

Redness of the eyes can be removed by washing them with an infusion of chamomile or linden flowers (1 teaspoon of dried flowers is poured into a glass of boiling water, left for 15 minutes and filtered through gauze folded in two layers). If possible, you can apply tampons soaked in infusion of chamomile or strong tea to your eyelids.

Chamomile infusion is the best remedy for tired eyes

Important! When working at the computer, adjust the brightness to a gentle level or wear special glasses

Inflamed eyes will be helped by compresses, for which strained tea, a decoction of chamomile, mint, parsley, and dill are suitable. Cotton swabs are dipped into warm liquid and immediately applied to closed eyelids for 1-2 minutes. The cotton wool should cover the entire space from the eyebrows to the lower edge of the eye sockets. The procedure is repeated 3-4 times.

During intense work that requires eye strain, it is very useful to take 2-3 minute breaks to relax your eyes

Why eye care should be especially thorough

In order to properly care for your eyes, you need to understand that the skin of the eyelids is very delicate and sensitive. This is due to the fact that it is extremely thin (4 times thinner than facial skin). The subcutaneous layer of fatty tissue, which gives the skin elasticity, is practically absent around the eyelids. In this regard, the amount of collagen and elastin (molecules responsible for youthful skin) in the skin of the eyelids is minimal.

Every day a person only blinks about 10 thousand times, the muscles around the eyes are involved in a person’s expression of any emotions: laughter, crying, surprise, anger, etc. This affects the condition of the skin of the eyelids, which means that it needs to be saturated with vitamins and microelements necessary for the beauty of the skin daily using eye care cosmetics, if we do not want the early appearance of facial wrinkles.
