Many women cannot seem to run away from skin problems that show up in the face, which range from fine lines & wrinkles to serious dark circles (read: the type that stays around long after the hangover). These things may seem trivial but for the unfortunate ones who do get them, either as part of aging or through unhealthy lifestyle habits, they can be a source of long-standing shame.
Not-so-fatal flaws like dark circles, while they do add years and make a person look haggard, can be fixed. The immediate thought may be to conceal the raccoon-like marks under eyes through make-up. If what you have is a mild and temporary case of undereye circles that can fade away once you adopt stress management techniques and get enough shuteye, a concealer with natural ingredients, which suits your skin tone, may be fine.
More serious types of dark circles, however, require a more intensive approach. Acknowledging and correcting certain habits - like frequently drinking alcohol (which increases blood flow near the skin's surface, thereby causing the color)and not getting quality sleep - can exacerbate deep circles as well as sagging skin (which can make a woman look ghastly), can also contribute to looking better. Simply improving lifestyle habits like eating healthy and drinking lots of water will definitely help individuals banish and prevent dark circles rather than just relying on face-fortifying topical products or expensive cosmetic restoration. Moisturizers with natural ingredients may nonetheless help.
There's such a thing as a holistic strategy to relieve and also prevent capillaries from "leaking" blood that starts to oxidize and leaves behind a dark pigmentation that resembles an ugly bruise under the eyes. Dark circles under eyes - like other female concerns as cellulite - may be due to genetic factors. Other factors that may bring it on is a parched body. Note that the skin under the eyes is thin, and there's a membrane between the fatty layer and the external, visible layer of skin. A body that lacks water will exhibit it on the face, beginning with the area around the eyes.
Other things that may aggravate dehydration is over consumption of liquor and a penchant for consuming foods/beverages laden with and caffeine. Undereye dark circles and its twin - puffiness - can be accentuated by constantly eating meals with too much salt and sleeping on your face. Dermatology experts recommend relieving these twin facial woes by applying a good eye gel. Or if you're not allergic to chamomile, may brew some chamomile tea, add some ice, and apply on gauze pads to be placed on the eyes for soothing relief. A couple of tablespoons of fresh cucumber juice applied on the eyes using a cotton pad each morning when you wake up may also relieve the marks under eyes. Have a natural beauty regimen before hitting the sack at night, too. You may want to try applying almond oil under your eyes using cotton balls until such time when your undereye dark circles begin to fade away. Steer clear of processed foods and limit caffeine intake and load up instead on fruits and vegetables. Focus in the face-saving foods rich with antioxidants to make the discoloration less severe.
