Eye care without spending a fortune!

Oh Eyes,the window to the soul! But nowadays,our eyes are among the most harassed parts of humanity,isn't it? Spending so much time watching TV or working on computers or even on smartphones, lack of sleep, waking up till late at night, playing video games, all this strains our eyes so much and add the stress of modern lifestyle,we are actually all looking like zombies nowadays with deep dark circles under our eyes. No wonder eye creams are among the fastest selling beauty products. I confess I have been guilty of doing all these things and even today I sleep less than 4 hours a night, work on my laptop for 12 hours a day, watch movies till 2 in the morning and of course my eyes also look like a panda's! My mother always scolds me and whenever she talks to me,she reminds me to take care of my eyes with these tips-

1. No substitute for sound sleep and taking care of our precious eyes the way God wants us to! Sleep for atleast 6 hours a night and even in afternoon,try taking a power nap for about 10 minutes after lunch to feel refreshed, do yoga (yes I do this!) for at least half hour everyday, reduce stress and don't watch TV or work on computer for more than 3 hours a day (almost impossible na!)
2. Potatoes are not only tasty to eat,they are great for eyes too. For as far back as I can remember,my mom would peel potatoes every morning (we have potatoes in everything!) and keep aside 2 slices which she would put on her eyes at night for 15 minutes before sleeping. And she has done this without fail for over 35 years,and till date,NO DARK CIRCLE! She says it is only because of potatoes. Their slices are magic. Be regular and see for yourself.
3. Cucumber is probably the coolest thing out there and that is what our eyes need in abundance-coolness.Slices of cucumber on eyes to cool them down is a legendary step now,everybody knows about them. Also you can crush them,take their juice and apply it under the eyes and wash off after an hour to remove dark circles and pigmentation.Grated cucumber when mixed with curd and applied on face removes blemishes in the long run.
4. Tea bags are very useful too! When you make tea,if you use a tea bag then instead of throwing it away,put it in freezer and then put this on eyes everyday to cool them and also take care of dark circles.
5. My personal recommendation-Almonds! Eat at least 5 almonds every morning during breakfast and also use a few drops of almond oil in bathwater to moisturize skin and dab a few drop under the eyes every day. Trust me, do this for 2 months regularly and see how the dark circles are going to disappear.
