Mix a teaspoon of tomato juice with half a teaspoon of lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and a pinch of chickpea flour. Apply this to the area around the eyes using your ring finger, being careful not to let the paste flow into the eyes. The ring finger is best for the delicate skin around the eyes as it puts less pressure compares to the other fingers. Let this paste dry and then wash it off. You can do this every morning before a shower.
