You may have never noticed, but caffeine is on the ingredient list of many products that fight those pesky dark circles. Why? It can help constrict blood vessels, temporarily tightening the appearance of puffy under-eyes, explains aesthetician Cynthia Rivas to IPSY.
That's why the expert recommends whipping up a two-ingredient DIY mask on days when you're at a loss for what to do. Want to give it a try? Combine half a tablespoon of coffee grounds with one teaspoon of honey until you reach a thin paste-like consistency.
Use your fingers or a small brush to smooth the mixture under your eyes and up toward your brow bone, advises the aesthetician. Be careful not to get any in your eyes.
Leave the mask on for 10 minutes. Gently rinse off the mixture without tugging or rubbing your skin. Follow with a hydrating eye cream.
