Dark rings under the eyes make you look 10 years older. They tend to appear when you are tired, or lack sufficient sleep the night before.
Did you notice that dark circles get more obvious when you don't get sufficient sleep.
You can do a simple home remedy to treat dark rings, to make eyes look fresher. They won't get rid of the dark rings completely, but they would make eyes look fresher.
Cucumber eye mask
Cucumber extracts are often added to eye creams to reduce puffiness and perhaps reduce the dark circles under the eyes. Here's how you can do a refreshing eye mask with cucumber slices.
- Refrigerate a fresh cucumber
- Cut 2 slices from a cold cucumber
- Wash your face and pat your face dry with a towel
- Lie down
- Place a slice of cucumber over each eye and leave that on for 15 minutes.
Instead of cucumber slices, you can use potato slices to fade away those dark circles. The enzymes in potato juice helps fade the dark circles away.
There are dozens of eye creams formulated to fade those dark circles away, but do they work?
I've seen hylexin being sold in doctor's clinics to fade away the dark circles. Some people have dark circles under the eyes all the time, even if they had 8 hours sleep the night before. That is because those dark circles are cased by blood leaking out of the capillaries, getting trapped beneath the eye area, giving you those bruises beneath the eyes. Hylexin works on those dark circles. You can camouflage dark circles under the eye with makeup.
Under eye concealers with yellow under tones give the best results as the yellowish tones neutralize the purplish dark circles effectively. Paint the concealer on with a brush, then blend it into your skin so it disappears. Making your eyes look as if they were naturally fresh.
