Home Treatments to Reduce Dark Circles
You will commonly encounter men and women with dark circles under their lower eyelids and may have them yourself too. Dark circles often come with bags under the eyes,making you appear older than your actual age. What makes it even worse is that dark circles can be a trifle challenging because it's challenging to get rid of them at times.
Although nearly everyone is susceptible to developing dark circles, you will most commonly find them in:
- People having a genetic predisposition to this problem
- The elderly people
- People who have darker skin tones, the non-white ethnic groups and are more prone to hyper pigmentation around their eye area.
Several factors contribute to dark circles, including fatigue. In most cases, however, there is no cause for anxiety or concern and no need for seeking medical help for the condition.
Several home remedies can effectively help you in reducing the dark circles under your eyes. With little time and effort, you will see your eye areas lightening under the home treatments discussed below.
1) Rose Water
We all love rose water for its beautiful fragrance, but do you know it is also a powerful soother for rejuvenating your tired and neglected skin? Rosewater, too, like cucumber is a mild astringent; thus, it works as an excellent skin toner. Using it is also so effortless.
Soak some of your makeup,removing cotton pads in rose water for a couple of minutes. Then allow the soaked makeup pads to sit on your closed eyelids for approximately 15 minutes.Do this daily and watch the magic unfold in just a few weeks.
2) Tomatoes
Have you ever heard of lycopene? If you haven't, here is some helpful information. Lycopene is substance that is wonderful for your vision, cardiovascular health, and skin. Lycopene has the power to reduce the appearance of dark circles beneath your eyes, as well as create a softer and suppler skin.
Tomatoes are rich in lycopene. You can, therefore, gain the maximum advantage of the medical benefits by mixing equal parts of lemon juice with tomato juice and applying the mixture under your eyes with a cotton ball. Do not let the lemon juice enter your eye but leave the solution on for ten minutes. Proceed to rinse with warm water. Do this twice daily and experience the fruits of your labor with clear and light eye areas.
3) Apply Cold Tea Bags
To lighten the color of those dark circles under your eyes, you must apply cold tea bags to those areas. Antioxidants and caffeine are present in tea, which is why they are strong stimulants of blood circulation. These ingredients work to shrink the blood vessels and also reduce the retention of liquid beneath your skin.
Take two green tea or black tea bags. Soak them in hot water for 5 minutes. Let them sit in the refrigerator for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Once they're sufficiently cold, close your eyes and apply the tea bags for 10 to 20 minutes. Remove them and proceed to rinse with cool water.
4) Cucumber
Magazines, televisions,and films are always producing forth images of women using cucumbers as cold compresses, but are they beneficial?
The answer to that isles, as cucumbers are tremendously helpful. They contain mild astringent and skin lightening properties and are thus an effective home ingredient for fixing your dark circles naturally. To use cucumber as a successful home remedy for your dark circles, chop thick slices of a cucumber and refrigerate them for thirty minutes. Apply the slices to your eyes and leave them on for ten minutes.
Proceed to rinse with warm (not hot) water around the eye areas.
For an even more powerful remedy, you can combine equal parts of lemon juice and cucumber juice. Apply the mixture to your dark circles with a cotton ball. Let the solution remain on your skin for 15 minutes and then proceed to rinse with warm water.
5) Potatoes
There is more than one reason why potatoes are our favorite vegetable. Apart from being the main ingredient of most of our soul-satisfying, calorie-laden snacks, potatoes also contain Vitamin C. Being rich in Vitamin C means potatoes are a great source of synthesis of collagen. They promote younger-looking, lighter, and radiant skin.
So coming to your dark circles, tap into the power of Vitamin C in the potatoes and treat your eye bags successfully. Grate some potatoes and extract the juice for the content.Take some of your cotton, makeup removing pads and soak them in the potato juice. Leave the pads on for 10 minutes then proceed to rinse with warm water.
