Cooling coffee eye pads for puffiness

Caffeine slightly constricts blood vessels and can briefly reduce puffiness under the eyes. Combined with cold, it makes a simple morning ritual from your breakfast coffee leftovers.

What you need

1 tbsp fresh, damp coffee grounds
2 tbsp aloe vera gel or yoghurt
Cotton pads
Small lidded container

Step by step

1
Mix
Stir the grounds with aloe gel or yoghurt into a soft paste.
2
Chill
Put the paste in the fridge for 10 minutes.
3
Apply
Spread a thin layer on two cotton pads and place them paste side up on closed eyes – never directly in the eye.
4
Remove
Take them off after 10 minutes and rinse your skin with lukewarm water.
