Some other remedies:
• Use cucumber or raw potato on your eyes to rehydrate and make eyes look fresh. They’re both good sources of silica which we need for fresh skin. On top of that they have a great source of water content so they help to rehydrate the eye.
• Berries mashed onto your skin allow for anti-aging due to antioxidants preventing free radical damage which causes formation of wrinkles and skin ageing.
