Materials:
1. One Tea Cup
2. Two Tea Bags
3. Plastic bag or container
Steps:
1. Let the tea bags soak in a cup full of hot water for at least 5 minutes. You are basically making tea.
Feel free to even enjoy your newly made cup of tea…mmm
2. Remove the tea bags and place them in your plastic baggie to store in the refrigerator.I tend to leave mine in the refrigerator overnight. Remember: the cooler the bags, the better they work!
3. Remove your tea bags from the refrigerator and drain the excess liquid to avoid them dripping all over your face… unless you are into that sort of thing!
4. Put some Bob Marley on your ipod, place the tea bags completely over your dark circles, and get horizontal on your favorite couch.
5. Keep the tea bags on for 15-20 minutes and then remove.
Voilà ! There you have it.. fresher looking eyes! Repeat as often as you please! For best results, repeat at least twice a week!
