Use avocado: It is loaded with vitamin C and E and acts as an antioxidant and also nourishes your skin.
Use yoghurt: It can moisturize your skin and can tackle pigmentation. You can apply yoghurt around your eyes and leave it for a few minutes and then wash it off. Avoid doing it if you are allergic to dairy products as it can be harmful.
Use honey: It is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and can moisturize and hydrate your skin. But make sure that you don’t go overboard while applying it and don’t rub it too harshly.
Use grapeseed oil: It is jam-packed with polyphenols and can hydrate your skin. But, don’t forget to do the patch test before applying it. Just warm it up a little and apply around your eyes and wash it off later.
