2. At night apply Vaseline petroleum jelly around your eyes, gently massage your lashes and eyebrow with your ring finger. This keeps the area under your eyes moisturized and prevents wrinkles. Your eyebrows and lashes will grow longer too.
3. Salad is not just healthy for your diet, it is good for your skin too! Sneak a few slices of tomato and cucumber, blend them and apply the paste on your face including the under eye area. Your skin will not only feel fresh, it will also become tight, less oily, shiny and smooth.
