A beauty guru has revealed how she got rid of dark circles without using expensive eye creams.
She shared her process for making under-eye skin care products using two ingredients that most people already have in their kitchen.
Eraj Zaidi (@erajzaidi1) has amassed over 11,000 followers on TikTok where she shares natural beauty tips.
She went viral on social media platforms after she shared a DIY eye mask that improves the appearance of the skin under the eyes.
“Korean beauty secret: bears'' were written on the screen.
She mixed 1 tablespoon of coffee granules and 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt in a bowl.
Once the ingredients were a smooth brown mixture, she used a makeup brush to apply the mask under her eyes.
The beauty guru kept the mask on her skin for 15 minutes and fanned her face with her hands.
She revealed that her under-eye area felt brighter after washing off the coffee mask, and recommended using it twice a week.
The video received more than 4.2 million views and 220,000 likes from people surprised by the hack.
