Massage Therapy To Relieve Tired Eyes

I look at myself in the mirror and I look like a Panda, most likely caused by hours of staring at the computer. If you have baggy and puffy eyes like me, here's a great eye massage that you can do on your own. It will bring circulation to the area around your eye, relieves sinus pressure, eye strain, and headaches.

  • Close your eyes. Place your thumbs under your eyebrows, starting at the inside corner of each eye socket. Press and gently move the thumbs in tiny circles, working slowly towards the outsides of your eyebrows and continuing this movement all around your eyes, ending back at the bridge of your nose.
  • Repeat this several times, spending a little extra time at the indentation of the inner eye socket, where the bridge of the nose meets the ridge of the eyebrows – an especially tender point on many people.
While this massage will give you a temporary relieve, there's no substitute for getting a good rest.
