This DIY is easy and super quick to do. It can also be done in the comfort of your own kitchen platform to relieve your eyes of all the exhaustion and get rid of the dullness around the eyes.

You need:

Carrot (Known for its discoloration properties, carrot juice would help you get rid of the darkness and dullness around eyes)

Raw Milk (Known for its anti-tan properties, milk has always come handy in getting rid of dark circles around eyes)

Round Cotton Pads

Grater

To make the Eye Pads:

Grate about a teaspoon full of carrot in a bowl

Now, add some grated cucumber to the carrot.

Add about a teaspoon of raw milk (unheated) to this mixture.

Now, add a teaspoon full of rose water to this.

Now let this mixture rest for about 20 minutes to let the carrot and cucumber soak properly in the milk and rose water mixture.

Now, squeeze out the carrot and cucumber pulp and put the juice in a separate bowl.

Now, take the cotton pads separate the two sheets of cotton, and spread a thin layer of the pulp onto one side of the cotton.

Now take about a teaspoon of the juice extract and spread it over the thin layer.

Make a sandwich by closing the thin layer sheet with its other cotton sheet.

I hope you enjoy this easy-to-make self-care treat and remember you are worth it! Self-care is mental health care.

You Will Need

Large bowl

2 cups dried red clover

1 cup dried calendula

1 cup dried yarrow

Wooden spoon

2 Glass jars: 1 QT./ 1 PT.

Line tea bags

To Make

In a large bowl, combine herbs. You may want to break up the larger red clover and calendar flower heads if you are using whole flowers so they will be more evenly distributed within the mixture. Stir to combine with a wooden spoon, and scoop into a glass jar. Store out of direct sunlight. To use as a simple bath tea, fill a linen tea bag with the hears, tie it tightly, and place in a warm bath.

You Will Need

Small plastic or glass bowl

2 TB. bentonite clay

1 TSP. activated charcoal

2 TB. apple cider vinegar

2-3 drops essential oil (optional)

Wooden or plastic spoon

Silicone face spatula (optional)

To Make

In a plastic or glass bowl, mix together the bentonite clay, activated charcoal, apple cider vinegar, and essential oils if desired, using a wooden or plastic spoon. To use, apply the face mask to a clean face or other trouble areas using the silicone face spatula or clean fingers. Allow mixture to harden slightly, about 5-10 minutes, and rinse off with warm water. It’s best to do this in the shower because it can be messy. For best results, use one a week.
