1. Cold water
Yes, as simple as it sounds, throwing some cold water over your face can make a major difference. An instant hit of cold water will increase blood circulation around the problem area, reducing pain in the muscles responsible.
2. Rose water
You may already have some in the cupboard from your daily skincare routine. Rinse your eyes with cold water and dab dry, then place two rose water-soaked cotton balls on your eyelids. As a natural relaxant, this will help dull the ache of eye strain.
3. Warm water compress
The water and pressure will help to enhance your circulation, while the heat will help to relax the muscles.
4. Sun
While it’s so important to just get out in the air and breathe, the vitamin D produced from the sun will boost your eye health and help you cope with strain.
5. Massage
This one will come as no surprise, as it’s probably your first instinct when you feel the ache of eye strain. As with the water, massaging the area around your eyes and temples will improve circulation and help to relax the muscles.
