Good evening! I hope you’re all having a splendid day/night! In all honesty, I am exhausted. I was up all night doing laundry because last night my cat, Cersei, managed to knock over a pint of soda and spill it all over me, our fabric couch, the pillows, and a faux sheepskin rug I keep on the chaiselounge. Leaving it overnight was just not an option, as it gets sticky and harder to clean. With about 5 loads to do as fast as humanly possible, I saw no other way than to sacrifice my sleep and get it done. Yes, it’s compulsive. But I managed. I finally got to bed at 6 AM, and was to get up again at 10 AM. I’ve had a lot of these nights recently, (minus the laundry) so you can imagine how swollen, sore and dark the skin around my eyes is looking. My skin gradually lost its glow, which to me is a complete disaster.
Tonight I’m also going to the movies to see Jumanji with my boyfriend and a friend of ours, and I refused to go out in public looking like a human-zombie hybrid. Luckily for me, I only just received my hydrogel eye patches in the mail, and they couldn’t have come at a better time.
Heres what I did to go from NO to GLOW:
Step one: This one is way underrated, but I washed my face in chilly water. Not ice cold, but a comfortable level of cool and refreshing. (Optional: Apply your toner. I did, but toners are not vital to use every day.)
Step two: I applied my Koelf Hydrogel Eye Patches (link to where you can buy, not sponsored). I currently use the Gold & Royal Jelly one, but I can highly recommend all of them. The patches should be left on for 10 minutes, and in the meantime I simply laid down and relaxed with some music. 10 minutes later I removed the patches, and all the liquid had soaked in and I was not left with sticky residue. My under-eye skin looked significantly brighter and the swelling had reduced drastically. Phew. Crisis averted.
Step three: I then finished off with a moisturizer for radiant, glowing skin. I got the Rodial Vit C Skin Souffle super cheap at Beauty Bay, so for anyone looking for glowing skin on a budget, this is a great moisturizer! It is also heavily discounted, I got it for about £10, whereas it usually costs £85! Any moisturizer for your skin type will do, the main focus here is the eyes!
