In Love with CO2 Eyes
Once a year I go to the Doctor to get some “eye maintenance” done in order to look fresh. Most of the times, it is CO2 as I tend to get the procedure done in December as I spend my Winter holidays in Europe and in the UK where the sun during that period is minimal and sunset is around 3-4 pm thus reducing my sun exposure. Obviously, I use copious amounts of sunscreen post procedure and also on a daily basis regardless of where I am in the world.

The following day...
Once I got home I used freshly squeezed Aloe Vera juice all over the treated area and then glad wrap those areas so as to keep it moist. I then placed a cooling pack over the treated area for about 20 minutes.
Every 3-4 hours I will soak the gauze or cotton into a White vinegar/water mix and cover the exposed areas for 10-20 minutes. After I will reapply the Aloe vera and glad wrap.
Before going to bed I repeated the process but instead of the glad wrap, I applyed Aquaphor over the areas so as to keep moist during the night.
I tried sleeping facing up and used a towel under my pillow as Aloe Vera can stain!
I placed a cooling pack over the treated area a few times throughout the day and the following day or as needed.
The Following day I gently cleansed with Cetaphilonly so as to remove the excess Aquaphore and applied the cooling pack once in the morning as I was a little swollen but didn't feel that I needed afterwards. Basically I repeated the above routine every few hours and stayed indoors all day.

Day 3
Day 3 was definitely the day where my eyes looked the worse. The red was still very visible and there was a lot of pinpoint scabbing all around too! Based on my past experience this was expected and in a way a good thing as I knew that it would only start to get better from this point onwards.
I did some mild pre-dawn exercise outdoors as I needed to get out and also get some food, thankfully there is a 24 hours supermarket close to my house so I managed to stock up and then stay indoors all day.

I have done my full face a couple times before and (in my case) it evens out the skin tone, slightly tightens up the skin (due to the collagen production).
For the eye area, I have experienced that it removes creepiness, tightens up the eyelid and gives my eyes a more refreshed appearance.
