What You'll Need

Step-by-Step

  1. In your clean palm, place a tiny pinch of Kasturi Manjal (less than 1/8 tsp — about the size of a grain of rice).
  2. Add 3-4 drops Sweet Almond Oil.
  3. Mix gently with your ring finger until you have a pale yellow-tinted oil. Kasturi Manjal does not stain like regular turmeric, but use sparingly.
  4. Using only your ring finger (gentlest pressure), tap the oil very gently around the orbital bone — never on the eyelid. Tap from inner corner outward in a half-moon motion.
  5. Repeat on the other eye.
  6. Go to bed without rinsing.
  7. Rinse off in the morning with a gentle cleanser. Apply your usual eye cream and SPF.
  8. Frequency: 3-4 nights a week. Visible improvement in tone and brightness within 4-6 weeks.
  9. Storage: Mix fresh each time — takes 30 seconds.

Pro Tips

Kasturi Manjal does NOT stain like cooking turmeric. Start with very small pinch; increase gradually.
