OUR MORNING ROUTINE (Protect & Hydrate)

Gentle Cleanser (Face & Eyes)

Use a hydrating, non-stripping cleanser to avoid drying out the skin.

DIY Cleanser Recipe: Mix honey and aloe vera gel, apply, then rinse with lukewarm water.

2. Cold Compress or Ice Roller (Optional)

If you wake up with puffy eyes, apply a cold spoon (not too cold), ice roller, or cold green tea bags for 5 minutes to reduce swelling and improve circulation.

3. Boost Collagen & Hydrate

Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and incorporating a collagen supplement from the many brands available to support skin elasticity and health.

4. Hydration Boost (Plump & Refresh)

Spritz rose water or chilled chamomile tea mist over your face to hydrate and refresh.

5. Sun Protection (Prevent Thinning & Pigmentation)

Apply a light layer of your favourite SPF 50 to protect against sun damage.

OUR EVENING ROUTINE (Repair & Rejuvenate)

1. Oil Cleansing (Remove Impurities & Nourish)

Use coconut oil or olive oil to gently remove makeup and impurities. Massage and wipe away with a warm, damp cloth.

2. DIY Hydrating Eye Mask (Strengthen & Nourish)

Ingredients:
1 tsp fresh cucumber juice
1 tsp raw honey
Mix and apply under your eyes for 10 minutes, then rinse.

3. Natural Retinol Alternative (Boost Collagen & Reduce Fine Lines)

Apply a few drops of bakuchiol oil (plant-based retinol alternative) under the eyes.

4. Gentle Massage with LUVYAH Cosmetics Gua Sha (Improve Circulation & Lymphatic Drainage)

Using a Gua Sha tool, gently glide under your eyes in an outward motion. This improves circulation, depuffs, and helps skin absorb serums better.
For best results, use a high-quality tool like the LUVYAH Cosmetics Gua Sha for deep lymphatic drainage and enhanced glow.

5. Coffee & Honey Cold Treatment (Brighten & Strengthen)

For thin skin-related dark circles, try this simple homemade remedy:

Mix 1 tbsp coffee grounds with 1 tbsp raw honey.
Let the mixture sit in the fridge for 15 minutes to cool.
Apply a thin layer under your eyes, leave for 10 minutes, then rinse.

The caffeine tightens blood vessels, while honey hydrates and repairs the skin for a brighter, firmer under-eye area!

EXTRA TIPS FOR BETTER RESULTS:

Stay hydrated – drink plenty of water & herbal teas.
Eat collagen-boosting foods – bone broth, citrus fruits, leafy greens, seeds.
Get enough sleep – aim for 7–9 hours to prevent under-eye darkness.
Reduce eye strain – avoid excessive screen time before bed.
