Black Tea Bag

"Black Tea Bag – Wet tea bags in warm water and place them on the eyes for 8-10 minutes. Do this 4 to 5 times a day. This will shrink the stye to half its size because of the tannic acid in tea."

You might be thinking, Shampoo? On a stye? But it works as the best cleanser! You will find the johnson brand in the baby section. In a yellow/gold liquid form - make sure it is the original shampoo!

Tip 5 - Compress a warm cloth or flannel onto the Stye

WARNING: Make sure you check the heat of the cloth/flannel before you put it on your eye, hold it for around 5 to 10 minutes.

Be sure to repeat this process between 3-4 times until you feel the Stye has cleared up or you've released some pus

Tip 6 - Practice better eye hygiene

You should regularly scrub your eye lids and wash them thoroughly to get rid of germs and dead skin cells. Use cotton balls to scrub clean your eye lids regularly and prevent sties.
