Beauty Tip: Get rid of Dark Circles


Many people including myself suffer from dark circles around your eyes. It can be extremely annoying. Dark circles affect everyone of all races. No one is exempt! 

The cause for dark circles varies from rubbing the eyes, insomnia allergies, excessive drinking, lack of exercise, too much sun, gluten intolerance, nasal congestion, smoking and poor diet. In order to get rid of your dark circles, You first need to know the cause then choose the antidote to get your skin to back to normal.

Step 1: Determine the cause 

Step 2: Refrigerate a cucumber for at least and hour before use. Cut cucumber horizontally into 1/4 inch slices. Dampen a wash cloth, Place cucumber slice over each eye, lay the dampened cloth over the forehead and recline the head or lay down for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 3: Refrigerate tea bags over night and place them over your eyes in the morning for about 15 minutes. 

Step 4: Clear out the sinuses with a saline solution. Mix 8 oz. water with a 1/4 tsp. sea salt or 1/2 tsp. baking soda. Tilt the head over the sink so that one nostril is parallel to the sink. Pour the solution down the nostril facing up until the water exits the nostril parallel to the sink.

Step 5:Consume essential vitamins such as B6 to help the adrenal glands function. Eat greens for calcium and magnesium, specifically cabbage and spinach. Eat a lot of fruit and veggies, cut back on salt and drink 8 glasses of water daily. 

Step 6: Apply eye creams that contain vitamin K and retinol, as dark circles are thought to be caused by a vitamin K deficiency.  Such creams may reduce puffiness and discoloration over prolonged usage. 

I hope this was helpful to anyone like me. We all want to look our best and it takes work to do so. Remember get at least 7 hours of sleep, Relax more and stay beautiful!
