“The voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes” is a saying by Marcel Proust which tells the importance of having great eyes and sight. As this has a very powerful connotative meaning, so does it denote that eyes, in beauty is necessary for you as a KOKOBeauty to have and be more beautiful.
This part of the body that allows you see and appreciate things is the same that can give your entire beauty and self a spark and make you so much more attractive. The eyes are a very strong beauty statement, especially as a KOKOBeauty and so, we will be looking at 5 natural tips to have vibrant and sexy eyes.
Sexy eyes are a natural endowment for some people but for some others, it is not and thanks to beauty tips, all hopes is not lost. Even with the natural endowments, enhancements may not be a bad idea if they are not too costly to maintain and will not have serious side effects to the eyes, which is why we usually preach and bring you natural tips and solutions.
Some of these tips we will have you try out today have been around for years and when something stands the test of time, you know there must be something to it. And that’s exactly what these five natural beauty tips for healthy eyes have done.
1. The Cocktail: your eyes can consume cocktail too you know, yes, the cucumber cocktail ??! This vegetable has high water content and is a fountain of nutrients. Placing cucumber slices over your eyes has long been considered as one of the most effective remedies for dark circles and placing iced slice are great at reducing inflammation and redness. To get the most out of this super veg, you may want to grate it and squeeze out its precious juice and then apply the liquid using cotton pads on any darkened areas of your eye, letting it sit for up to fifteen minutes (perfect when in the tub). Doing this is a much more effective way to target affected areas and give your eyes a concentrated hit of sweet, cucumbery goodness.2. Eyerobics: not only are exercises good for the body generally, specific aerobics for specific part of the body do wonders. The muscles around the eyes can tighten up often and as a result, contribute to tired, aged-looking peepers, especially after spending too much time doing the same activity and getting stuck in habitual patterns of movement such as staring at a screen all day long. One great exercise you can do to shake up your peepers and bring them and the surrounding areas back to life is to open your eyes as wide as possible and blink rapidly twenty times (it is advised to do at home or when no-one else is around). You can also take a pen and track its tip with your peepers as you move it horizontally, vertically, and around in a circle. It’s best to do these before bed so your eyes have chance to relax during the night. the, stretching your eyes sideways to see beyond it normal horizon is another you can do in the space of 5minutes.

3. Hydration is life to the eyes!: If there was only one thing you could do for your eyes, it would be to keep yourself well hydrated. It may seem obvious, but in today’s screen-obsessed world, it’s actually much harder than it seems. Get at least 2 litres of water a day, avoid too many diuretics like coffee, and take in lot’s of water-packed foods like grapefruit and chicken, and see your eye’s pupils pop and their whites glisten.
4. The peepers need good spa treatment too: Like eye exercises, massage is a great way to awaken tired and lifeless eyes and trigger a surge of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood to the area. Eye massage is also an effective way to reduce eye strain and preventing fine lines, and a great request to ask of your partner. To perform an eye massage, firstly apply a few drops of high-quality coconut or olive oil to your fingers. Then start to gently massage the surrounding areas — the inner corners, the centre of your brows, the outer edges, and the skin just below, for five to ten minutes. Do this routine at least once a day, and you’ll soon notice a brightness and fullness that you thought was no longer possible.
5. Visual-boosting foods are key: you are what you eat is not just a cliche but it has proved to be true for ages. Ensure you incorporate foods that are rich in vision-boosting nutrients is a must in promoting healthy and vibrant eyes. Foods that have high concentration of Vitamin A are the best for the eyes. Spinach sits at the top of this list of such foods. Other foods for bright eyes that should make a regular appearance on your menu are carrots, avocados, kale, broccoli, eggs, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, and garlic. Along with any other foods that are packed full of antioxidants like goji berries, blueberries, and dark chocolate.Antioxidants protect the body against free radicals, which cause cellular damage to the body and accelerate ageing, so it’s worth getting a daily hit of these not just for your eyes but your overall health. It’s also not just important to eat the right foods, but to also avoid the wrong ones — or more accurately, avoid the pesky chemicals that come with them.
Eating organic meat, fish, and vegetables is a sure-fire way to avoid taking in micro-plastics and pesticides that can harm your body and cause your skin and eyes to suffer. It can cost a lot more to eat organic, but it still works out as one of the cheapest — not to mention oldest — health and beauty treatments to ever exist.
For your eyes and other beauty statements, the natural way is still and will always the best!
