Are you finding yourself constantly struggling to get rid of the dark circles under your eyes? Do you find that makeup simply isn’t enough to hide these bags and are you frustrated with always looking tired or appearing older than you are? Don’t worry, here are some effective tips to get rid of dark circles quickly and easily.
- Teabags are a popular remedy for eliminating bags and dark circles. The tannins in the tea help to absorb the water in the area, reducing puffiness. Cucumbers also help in this, as they help to constrict blood vessels which are the source of that lovely ‘panda eye’ look.
- Antioxidants are excellent for eliminating dark circles, as they can help rebuild and repair the skin. Acai berry, hyaluronic acid, and other similar ingredients can be highly effective, especially when combined with only other organic and natural ingredients. You can drink these or buy them in gel form to spread on the problem areas.
- Improving your sleep habits can also help. While this may seem easier said than done, consider turning off the television, silencing your phone, or eliminating other distractions after 9 pm. Make a habit of it, and you’ll soon find that you don’t miss these things. Have a hot shower or bath about half an hour before hitting the hay. Research has shown that drinking a glass of milk with a simple carbohydrate such as a cookie or something sugary like a Rice Krispie treat will make you feel sleepy within about 10-15 minutes of consuming them. Just be sure to brush your teeth after! Eating chocolate or drinking cola before going to bed is not recommended as both products contain caffeine, which can keep you awake.
- Meditation can also help you get a better night’s sleep, so that dark circles become a thing of the past. Establishing a night-time anti-stress ritual such as meditating, taking a candle-lit bubble bath, or reading a magazine or book in a dimly-lit, warm place can do wonders for reducing your stress so you can sleep.
- The last thing to consider is allergy medicine. If standard remedies don’t fix your dark circles, there is a good chance that you are suffering from allergies. In this case, allergy medicine may be all you need to deal with dark circles and under-eye bags.
When dark circles are starting to be problematic, try these tips to get rid of them quickly and easily.
