Perfect to take a 5 minute screen break and practise to rest the eyes and calm the mind.

  • Put a small amount of Skin Food on finger tips, warm gently and then cup over closed eyelids. Breathe, at least five times. Gently press the Weleda Skin Food into the skin.

  • Make circular or pinching movements along the brow line with fingertips.
  • Finish by cupping the eyes again with the whole hand and breathe.
  • Try the 4:6:8 ratio – inhale for 4, hold for 6 and exhale for 8 (slowly)
