How to Get Rid Of Circles under the Eyes
April 14, 2009
Eyes are windows to the world and your soul. It’s the skin around them that adds to or mars their beauty. If acne is the number one skin problem, those dark circles under the eyes are the number two problem.
There are many causes for this ailment. As usual, unbalanced or improper food is the cause, in addition to a not-so-healthy lifestyle. Consider the food first. Green vegetables, rich in vitamin K and E, contribute to healthy skin. Eat a variety of fruits.
Among youngsters, smoking is a major cause for causing this imperfection. Inadequate sleep coupled with or caused by present-day stressful life aggravates the problem. Even natural sunlight, wind and cold affect your eyes.
However, a few precautionary measures and better, healthier food can be protective. Protect your eyes from the harsh sun. Develop a habit of wearing sunglasses before venturing out in the sun and give up smoking.
Give up consumption of food to which artificial flavors have been added. Depending on your age, six to eight hours of undisturbed sleep is a must.
Practice some of the traditional home remedies to get better-colored skin around the eyes. For keeping your eyes cool, dab the areas under them with rosewater or juice of a cucumber.
A paste of pineapple juice and a bit of turmeric is helpful, as is a mixture of tomato and lemon juice in equal volumes.
Nevertheless, the most preferred and accepted products for improving the pigment around eyes are milk, almonds and potatoes. Potatoes have natural bleaching agents and that’s what is needed for overcoming this malady.
Raw grated potatoes or potato juice, when applied to the affected area, is very useful. Let the application remain there for 15-20 minutes and then wash thoroughly with cold water.
For better effects, use a mixture of potato juice and cucumber juice. Apply the mixed juice around the affected area with a cotton swab, let it remain there for twenty minutes and then wash it with cold water.
Or you may replace the mixture of juices with plain milk. Before going to sleep, apply it regularly and wash it off after fifteen minutes. You may add an extract of rose petals to milk and follow the same treatment.
Application of almond oil through massage under the eyes yields very satisfactory results as well.
