Q and A

Q;

What can I do to get rid of dark circles under my eyes?

A:

Under eye circles can add decades to your age, the puffiness and the discolouration can really create an ugly sight which gives us the creeps. 

Certain things are responsible for this condition which I list as follows;
(a) Heredity; some people inherit the gene of thin or fair skin around the eye and such people might not be able to escape dark under eye circle
(b) Habits; excessive consumption of alcohol, cigarette and caffeinated drinks also cause this
(c) Age; As we grow older, our skin becomes thinner and once the skin around the eye is thin, hyper pigmentation comes in.
(d) Sleeplessness; Another common factor is when an individual doesn't get enough sleep or doesn't maintain a proper sleeping position.

There are natural ways by which this issue can be addressed such as placing cold cucumber slices on the eye area for a while, cold potato slices also help as well as placing refrigerated tea bags on it. I advice green tea bags should be used instead of black tea because green tea contains anti inflammatory sibstances.
Another natural help is to sleep on an extra or two extra pillows to help blood flow.
For cosmetic remedy, there are eye lid surgeries as well as laser treatments which I would advice for very serios cases and there are also a number of eye serums out there, you can try out a few till you get which rememdy works best for you.

Finally I will advise you to get adequate daily rest, excercise your body, avoid sitting in front of a computer for a long time or staying too close to your TV set and above all drink lots of water.

Till my next post...... Luv y'all
