If you are like me (and about 90% of the world) you suffer from at least a LITTLE bit of disclororation around the eye(also know as Dark Circles). I have been trying for a while now, to find a fix.....here are some tricks/tips that have been tried and true for me in HELPING(not getting rid of, completely) my problem. Please try some of these trick and let me know how the work for you!
- Use your RING finger when apply eye creams,or concealers(IF you don't use a brush)
finger/too much preassure can stretch out the thin skin around the eye
- "Wear Tea"Steep 2 tea bags,let them cool,wrap each bag in 2 paper towels and place a bag over each CLOSED eye for 5 to 15 minutes. Why:Green,Black and chamomile teas have astringents that constrict blood vessels and pull skin "taut" I personally, have only used green tea(it's the only kind of tea, i had...lol)and I can honestly say that this actually worked. I did it every other day, for like 8 days and I saw a difference.
- Peel a Potato.Peel and grate a potato (raw) and then mash it(it will be kind of hard, but a rule of thumb is;the more liquid you gan get from "mashing" the potatoe, the better) wrap the "mashings" in a CLEAN dishcloth (spread it as if you are spreading mayo on bread, so that the cloth is covered lengthwise, making it so that you only need ONE pouch to cover BOTH eyes) Lie down and place the pouch over your eyes for 15 minutes
- Sleep on you BACK. Impossible for me, but according to a friend of mine, this method is tried and true.Try sleeping Face up,and add an extra pillow to prevent fluid from pooling in your face which causes eye redness/puffiness(sounds so obvious,right?)
pillow for hours can cause permanent creases around your eyes.
Simply put, as in everything; PREVENTION is key. Having a great skincare regime is key to youthful eyes.There are tons of products on the market that are specifically for helping to prevent/reverse skin discoloration. A line that I am VERY fond of is SkinCeuticals. They are an AMAZING brand that is focused on PREVENTION of ANY and ALL skin problems....they also have tons of products that focus on "Correcting" any problems that you may not have been able to "Prevent". Let me say, also that in MY opinion, the reason this brand is AMAZING(aside from the results you get from the products) is because the are soooooo gentle and VERY natural. The sell the BEST facial cleanser I have EVER used...it's called "Simply Clean" and believe me, the name says it all. At first, I was thrown off by the fact that the "cleanser" didn't foam...no bubbles?!?!?! NO! And guess what, My face has never felt cleaner. The price isn't too budget friendly....It's $30 a bottle.(F.Y.I. it IS a "Spa Brand" which means, if you go to a spe for a facial, you can feel free to ask for samples....the eye product come in "sample sizes" that have at LEAST 5 uses per sample, which is amazing)but enough about that...lol. The eye products that I used were: Eye Cream,Eye Renewal,and the Eye Gel aox+......ALL amazing products, If I had to recommend one above the others, I would have to go with the "Eye Renewal Gel".....it's under $40, you apply it before bed so it works while you sleep,it isn't very harsh which means it is ok for people with sensitive eyes all-inall, this is an amazing product. I hope all(@ least SOME) of this works for you.If you have any tips/tricks, please comment and let me know them!! Until next time, Stay Beautiful!!
