Dark circles under your eyes can make you look sleepy, tired and unattractive. One of the first things anyone will notice is your face. If the eyes are the window to the soul, do you really want them to be ringed by dark circles?
But this personal beauty crisis is not hopeless. In one week, you can get ride of your eyes’ dark circles, look refreshed and re-invigorated, and stun people with your beauty and style.
Seven Days to Perfect Eyes Without Dark Shadows!
To begin with, get lots of sleep. Exhaustion and lack of proper rest drives blood to your eyes, whether the thin skin of your eyelids darken as a result. A lack of sleep can also negatively influence your cognitive ability, your job, your school work, and more. Thus, getting at least seven to eight hours of sleep won’t just erase those dark circles under your eye, but boost your social life as well!
Second, change your lifestyle to a healthy diet. Dark circles under your eyes can be caused by vitamin efficiencies. A healthy, balanced diet with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants can help lighten your eyes, as well as improve the overall quality of your facial complexion. The best part is that it is all-natural!
Third, shock your eyes in the morning when you wake-up with a jolt of cool, refreshing caffeine. When you first get up out of bed, splash your face with cold water. This will not only feel refreshing and wake you up to full alertness, but it will also tighten your facial pores and make your skin look brighter and younger. Then, place two green tea bags (chilled in the refrigerator) over your eyes for five minutes. The caffeine , green tea antioxidants, and calming, cool temperature of the tea bags will reduce puffiness and brighten your eye zone.
Fourth, for women (or very brave men), use a light eye concealer. You do NOT want to look like you’re wearing makeup: You want to look naturally awake, alert and refreshed! Use a light concealer that is about one shade lighter than your natural skin tone and put it on very, very lightly and very smoothly. Pairing this with a vitamin K serum is a double-whamming against dark undereye shadows and circles! Vitamin K has been shown to naturally lighten dark eye circles.
Fifth, use a light eye moisturizer. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and thin, and a moisturizer can help keep it soft and smooth, decreasing the boldness of your dark eye circles. One great product is Neutrogena’s Eye Reviver eye cream. This cream is very light and tingles just a little. It includes a small bit of mineral “dust,” that immediately brightens and lightens your skin by refracting the light that hits your eyes. Instant beauty!
If you do these five steps every day, you will dramatically decrease your dark eye circles and look younger and more refreshed than ever before, even when you have not been getting a lot of sleep!
