If you are like me your eyes are starting to show their
age or even your lack of sleep. Maybe you're wondering
why they are so bad? Over time our skin naturally loses
collagen and it grows thinner. There are ways to help.
Which is why it's best to keep up with your good habits
to help reduce the dark circles and bags. Eating healthy
and exercising is an important thing to do but here are some
other things to help possibly reduce the bags and circles.
Use a cold compress in the morning, cucumbers are a good
way to be used as a cold compress because they have skin
lightening and mild astringent properties.
Tomatoes? Yes you just read that right. Tomatoes are
high in lycopene which is a substance that's excellent for your cardiovascular health, vision and your skin. Lycopene can
help create softer, more supple skin as well as decrease
the appearance of dark eye circles. To gain these
benefits mix equal parts of tomato juice with lemon juice.
Dip a cotton ball or makeup remover pad and apply it under
your eyes. Leave the solution for 10 minutes and then rinse
with warm water. Do this twice a day, I suggest once in the
morning and once before bed.
Cold tea bags can work as well, you just need to get them
wet, put them in the fridge for about a half an hour and then
place them on your eyes for about 10 minutes. This is another
great "cold compress".
Vitamin E oil and Coconut oil work wonders too, place a little
bit under your eyes before you go to bed and rinse off in the morning followed up by a cold compress.
Eat more dark chocolate, salmon and drink more water.
Try to get 8 hours of sleep, exercise and mediation.
These are all healthy routines that aren't just good for
your eyes but your face and your whole body!
