There are sleepless nights that can not be avoided, either because we are mothers, we had a long night working or simply because we went to party; and as well as the unavoidable night-time the next day, generally, the undesirable dark circles appear as a reminder of the night before causing us to want to make them disappear immediately. We can choose chemical and expensive products to disguise them, however, there are some tips to reduce dark circles in a natural and safe way, that we all should know. Join us to meet them.
First of all, you have to remember that enough sleep is necessary for a healthy life, so experts in the sleep of the National Sleep Foundation, a US research institute located in Virginia, state that an average adult should sleep between 7 and 9 hours as much as possible; but we all know how difficult it can be to fulfill those long hours of sleep, which is why these tips are very useful.
1) A wet handkerchief
At night we put a damp cloth in the refrigerator, when we wake up in the morning we take the cloth, which now must be cold, we put it about five minutes on our forehead and eyes while we lie down and take the opportunity to remember the tasks of the day.
2) Slices of cucumber
Yes, the classic cucumber slices do work! This was confirmed by Phillip Artemi, member of the “Australasian College of Dermatologists”, who declared for “Reader’s Digest” that due to the cold temperature of the slices (chopped from a cucumber extracted from the refrigerator), the blood vessels under the eyes can be momentarily retracted, emphasizing that this does not solve the dark circles permanently.
3) Tea Bags
Submerge two tea bags in cold water for approximately 30 seconds, place them over our eyes while resting with them for about 10 minutes. Tea tannins will have an effect on the area, diminishing the appearance of dark circles. After removing the bags we rinse our faces.
4) Sun screen/glasses
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can contribute to the darkening of the area under the eyes, and why not if the skin there is thinner? That is why using special sunscreen under the eyes can help to avoid this problem of darkening of the skin in this area, and also the use of sunglasses can make a difference.
5) Aloe Vera
This fantastic plant with endless uses can also help when removing dark circles. Thanks to its many properties, including moisturizing the skin, it can work for the problem of dark circles by placing a little aloe vera or aloe crystal directly in the area, which is obtained by making a cross section to a of his pencas. Let stand about 10 minutes and then rinse the face.
Without saying more, these super useful tips can help us say goodbye to those unpleasant circles under our eyes so that we can look fresh and relaxed on those days when we have not slept the way it should.
