Eye massage is a gentle technique that can help to relieve eye strain, reduce dark circles, and promote relaxation. Here are some simple steps for performing an eye massage:
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water to avoid introducing bacteria to your eyes.
- Close your eyes gently. This will help to relax the muscles around your eyes and make the massage more comfortable.
- Apply gentle pressure with your middle fingers to the bony area around your eye sockets.
- Massage in circular motions for 15 seconds in one direction and then 15 seconds in the opposite direction. You can also use a light tapping motion.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 several times, focusing on the areas around your eyes that feel tense.
- Apply a warm compress to your eyes for 5-10 minutes to further promote relaxation and soothe any tension.
Remember to be gentle with your eyes and avoid putting too much pressure. If you have any concerns or discomfort, consult with an eye doctor.
