HOW TO BANISH PILLOW CREASE MARKS ON YOUR FACE Make sure you
put your moisturizer on prior to bed time. You need to hydrate your skin so that it doesn’t dry out and cause wrinkles naturally.

We also recommend sleeping on your back, which is difficult at first, but also helps avoid any markings on your skin from occurring.

night, boil one cup of water, add one organic chamomile tea bag. Soak for five-ten minutes. Take a cotton pad, wipe your eyes with the chamomile tea and take the tea bag and leave on each eye for five minutes. Take two teaspoons, put them in the freezer; use the back of the spoon and hold it under your eyes for five minutes. This should decrease the puffiness in the eyes.
HOW TO MAKE AN EGG WHITE MASK Break two
eggs, take only the egg white and use a tiny brush to then apply around your eye area. This you can do in the morning or before bed to help reduce puffiness. I recommends doing a three minute eye massage before and when you wake up as
