Tired Eyes

[woodelf]

Does the placing of sliced cucumber relieve tired eyes? Ta Muchly.

[rsvp]

most definitely - as does cold tea bags

Many Thanks RSVP.

Yes - anything cool and non irritating is good - damp cotton wool or tissues even.
Actually, the rest it gives your eyes is good in itself.

What are " tired eyes?" Do you mean "heavy" eyes as when you are ready for sleep?

[woodelf]

No Sqad, tired and heavy eyes from lack of sleep. Many Thanks Ven....and I forgot to ask in first place, how long would you leave cucumberr slices or whatever on the eyes?

[Safiya]

20 minutes should be okay woodelf.... any more and it gets boring cos if you move slightly they fall off........ you could try putting a couple of spoons in the fridge then when they are cold wrap them in a little bit of tissue or thin material and put the backs of them over your eyes.... this is loads easier than cucumber cos you have an handle and can move them on and off....

[jackthehat]

Ah........but you can't eat the spoons when you have finished!

Morning, woodelf! :o)

[woodelf]
