The value of plant juice

Juice. Rich in calcium, potassium, chromium and iron.
The gel is a transparent substance with a large amount of antioxidants.

This gift of nature eliminates dryness well, perfectly cleanses and heals scratches, peeling, and burns.

Aloe juice is very beneficial for the skin around the eyes. It is able to penetrate into the deepest layers of the dermis and remain there for a long time. In the unequal fight against old age, this is an indispensable tool.

How to prepare and apply to the skin, how long to keep it on, when to expect results?

In order to get the maximum effect from the juice, you need to prepare it correctly. Cooking steps:

You need to cut a leaf from the plant, wrap it in a napkin or cloth and place it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
After two weeks, the prepared leaf should be taken out and washed with running water.
Next, juice is squeezed out of the leaf.
The finished liquid is used for its intended purpose.

Now the juice can be used to get rid of wrinkles and other skin problems (we talked about using the juice for the skin, as well as wiping the face with a leaf of the plant here). The easiest option: every evening, before going to bed, rub a small amount of liquid into the skin around the eyes. There is no need to rinse off, as it is absorbed almost instantly and saturates the skin with beneficial substances.

The results can be seen in the morning. The skin around the eyes will be refreshed and moisturized, wrinkles will begin to smooth out.

But in order to maintain the result, the procedure must be carried out every day for one and a half to three weeks. After this, you need to take a break for two weeks so as not to oversaturate the skin, as then the aloe will become useless. After the break, you can repeat the course.

To improve the effect of the plant, you can use its juice as a component of a homemade cream. For example, in the following recipe for anti-wrinkle cream:

Mix 2 teaspoons of aloe juice, half a teaspoon of honey, 25 ml of rose water, 10 ml of water.
The mixture is heated in a water bath.
During heating, you need to gradually add 60 grams of interior fat to the cream.
All ingredients are mixed until transformed into a homogeneous mass.
The finished cream is stored in the refrigerator.

Apply the finished product before bed to the entire area around the eyes. The course lasts 3 weeks.

If desired, a teaspoon of aloe juice can be added to your favorite eye cream. Or mix with a teaspoon of cosmetic oil.

We talked about how to prepare different facial products from aloe here.

What are the benefits of aloe for eyelid skin?

The skin around the eyes is dry and thin, with virtually no sufficient fat underneath. As a result, less nutrients accumulate to maintain elasticity and a healthy appearance.

In terms of its composition, agave is a real storehouse of valuable microelements and vitamins. A, B12, C and E are especially useful; they are simply necessary for health and beauty. What are the benefits of aloe vera juice and why is it highly valued in cosmetology:

Moisturizes and nourishes dry skin.
Helps relieve swelling.
Prevents premature appearance of wrinkles under the eyes.
Lightens age spots.
Has a slight lifting effect.

Agave extract is absorbed almost instantly. To eliminate swelling of the eyelids, it is used in its pure form or added as an additional component to masks. Aloe is a universal remedy that is suitable for any skin type.

Important! If the skin is too sensitive, the pure extract is diluted with a small amount of water.

How to use for eyelids?

Aloe can be applied not only around the eyes, but also directly on the eyelids. This way, you can relieve this sensitive area of skin from scratches, swelling and bruises. If you smear the prepared juice on your eyelids before going to bed for one and a half to three weeks, you will see changes for the better.

The main thing is to apply the product very carefully and carefully so as not to provoke the appearance of wrinkles. After completing the course, you need to take a break for one and a half to two weeks.

Elimination of swelling and “bags”

Frozen aloe juice can help remove puffiness and bags under the eyes. This product combines the tonic effect of ice and the beneficial properties of aloe. In order to achieve positive results, you need to wipe the area around your eyes with a cube of frozen juice every morning. After wiping, you need to apply a nourishing cream to your eyelids. The result will be visible within three days.

Important! If after the procedure there is redness around the eyes and itching, it is better to abandon this method. Most likely, this is how allergies manifest themselves.

How many days will it take for your face to return to normal?

Many patients are interested in how to remove swelling from the eye after an injury in 1 day. Even if some pharmaceutical product or folk recipe promises such a cure, know that this is impossible. After a strong blow, a bruise does not form immediately.

Within three to four hours, severe swelling develops. With the use of ice and special ointments, the swelling can be removed within three to four days. This is the fastest time.

It is worth considering that swelling never comes alone - approximately on the second day after a blow around the eye (one or two at once), a hematoma (bruise, in simpler terms) begins to form. This process occurs because blood begins to accumulate in the subcutaneous fatty tissue of the face. It is as if she is “attracted” by the blow and the violation of the integrity of bone and muscle tissue. As a result, the more blood flows in (i.e., the stronger the blow), the brighter and longer the hematoma will be. In some cases, bruises have to be treated within a month or two.

Eyelash product

Aloe juice can be used to strengthen and stimulate eyelash growth. To do this you need:

Mix juice and vegetable oil in equal proportions (one teaspoon each).
Apply to eyelashes (using a clean mascara brush) once a day.
Wash off after 30 minutes.

In a month, the volume of eyelashes will increase by at least 10%.

Gel "Lioton"

How to remove a bruise from a blow under the eye using a remedy such as Lyoton? The instructions say that it is enough to apply the mentioned drug to the damaged area of the face three times a day.

Gel "Lioton" relieves swelling well and also eliminates the permeability of vascular walls, preventing the release of exudate into nearby tissues. In addition, this remedy can stop the inflammatory process and slow down the blood clotting process.

Before using the drug, the patient should know that its active substance (heparin) is detected in the blood a day after applying the gel to the skin. In this case, the maximum concentration of the medicinal component is achieved after 8 hours.

This remedy for bruises under the eyes from an impact is an analogue of heparin ointment. However, it contains a high concentration of the active substance, due to which it gives a quick effect.

This product contains the following active substances: ethoxydiglycol, medicinal leech extract and pentoxifylline. The drug exhibits a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. Its use allows you to speed up the disappearance of bruises on different parts of the body, including the face.

Using Bruise-Off gel reduces swelling and puffiness, especially under the eyes. This product also reduces inflammation on the skin.

This preparation, based on an extract from leeches, is very often used by athletes. It not only promotes rapid resorption of hemorrhages, but also neutralizes the color of the hematoma.

The active substance of “Troxevasin” is troxerutin. It is an angioprotector, acting mainly on veins and capillaries.

The drug helps narrow the pores between the vascular endothelium, inhibits platelet aggregation, exhibits an anti-inflammatory effect, and increases the degree of deformability of red blood cells.

In case of hematoma, Troxevasin eliminates bruising. However, this is not the main purpose of the mentioned tool. Although, thanks to its absorbable effect, it is successfully used in this direction.

The external preparation should be applied only on the first day after the bruise appears. This must be done every hour.

Mask against bruises

Trouble sleeping can lead to unsightly dark circles under the eyes. You can get rid of them with the help of aloe. To do this you need:

Grind 3-5 leaves with a blender or knife.
Wrap the resulting pulp in gauze.
Lie down and apply gauze to the bruises.
Leave for half an hour (the remaining juice does not need to be washed off).

You can also use the following mask for bruises:

Mix a tablespoon of aloe juice, a tablespoon of milk and one egg yolk.
The resulting mass is applied in a dense layer to the dark circles using a cotton pad.
The mask should be kept on for 15-20 minutes, then washed off the face.

This mask can be used 2-3 times a week to prevent bruising.

From bruises from a blow

A bruise can appear not only as a result of lack of sleep, but also from injury. In this case, the following remedy can help the hematoma resolve. You need to grind the leaf of the plant into a paste and mix it with a tablespoon of Vaseline. The resulting mixture should be lubricated with the hematoma 3 times a day, and it will dissipate in about three days.

Reference! Additionally, you can use lotions made from aloe, celandine and beet juices mixed in equal proportions. Lotions are applied at night.

"Dolobene" and heparin ointment: cheap and effective

Dolobene contains the following components:

Sodium heparin - suppresses the biochemical synthesis processes involved in blood clotting, normalizes microcirculation, dilutes blood clots.
Besyl nicotinate is an extract of nicotinic acid that increases the lumen of blood vessels at the application site. Accelerates the absorption of heparin through the walls of blood vessels by increasing their area.
Anesthesin is a substance that eliminates pain that accompanies most ailments.

Together, these substances help reduce swelling. They also promote rapid resorption of hematomas.

You should use the product once or twice a day, apply a thin layer to the area of impact and hematoma. It does not matter which area is more affected - above or below the eye. Heparin ointment will have an anti-inflammatory and absorbable effect in any case.
