Asked By:jen1118 in Kongiganak, AK

I went for a facial 4 months ago and it included the face massage. The girl massaged my face really roughly, especially the eyes and the forehead. My eyes, looked droopy, puffy and more sunken in, like she pushed them deeper into the eye sockets or something. What can I do to improve the look of my eyes? My main concern is the droopy look of my upper eyelid, I really want to get it to look how it did before :(
