Quite a few of us are constantly being reminded of how old we are by the droopy, bags under our eyes. We sample all kinds of products, creams, serums, gels, but nothing seems to eliminate them.
There is so much pressure today to look younger, we see celebrities who have an assortment of surgeries and procedures costing thousands of dollars just to look and feel more attractive. Dark circles under the eyes are an obvious sign of aging so if youve given up trying the latest and greatest products to roll back the years, maybe youre interested in some alternative treatments.
For starters, try changing your bad habits into better, healthier ones. If you're serious about your skin treatment, a meticulous regimen of healthy behavior is important. Over the course of our lives, we neglect the body's ability to repair itself from harmful toxins and substances. Your health routine is a way of helping your body remain healthy for as long as possible. Each day you follow your health routine, you'll be adding to your skin's overall life.
Here is a short list of things you can do on your own or find in your home to incorporate into your daily routine to help reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes:
Grate a cucumber and squeeze juice into a cup. Dip 2 cotton balls into juice and place one over each eye for about 15 minutes.
Use a potato in the same process.
Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.
In a bowl mix lemon juice paste, tomato puree, orange lentil flour (masoor dal) and turmeric powder.
Apply with a qtip to dark circles, leave on for 15 minutes, and then wash off completely.
Stay away from bleaches and peels that claim to lighten skin.
Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
Find ways to reduce stress like practicing yoga.
In the morning, tap the skin under your eyes lightly with 1 or 2 fingers. This will increase blood flow.
Dont scratch the skin under your eyes. If you have to, lightly dab it with some cold water.
Dip 2 cotton balls in rose water and lightly dab around your eyes.
Place 2 cold cucumber slices over your eyes.
Our bodies are sensitive and respond quickly to changes in levels of vitamins and minerals. So try focusing on practicing a healthy diet and if you decide to use a cream or serum to clear dark circles, make sure those products contain natural ingredients.
I encourage you to try these at home and you'll find your dark circles will disappear over time and your face will become brighter, healthier and younger looking! - 15252
