Dark circles are not a serious health problem at all. But they certainly make you look dull, stressed out, and tired. These are often accompanied by bags that are formed under the eyes. They make you look 4-5 years older than your actual age which is not desirable at all. Dark circles do not magically disappear on their own or over time. If you think you can just wave your wand and instantly get rid of these pesky circles then you are not right. Dark circles take time to develop and can be difficult to get rid of. But don’t start running to a doctor, because I have something for you that can help you to remove dark circles.
Below are some very effective solutions to remove dark circles that won’t cost you much at all.
Home Remedies to Remove Dark Circles
In this section, I have mentioned some remedies that can help you in treating dark circles at home.
Use an eye cream that contains Retinol
Any eye cream that contains retinol can fuel up the production of collagen. Collagen is an excellent ingredient to enlighten your skin and remove dark circles. Retinol helps you in making your skin less thin by rebuilding the dermal collagen, providing vascular support, recovering the volume as well as firming the skin. Eye creams that contain retinol are very easily available in the market and are not very costly. Just apply this cream in the area around your eyes before you sleep and rinse it off in the morning. Repeat this process for a month to get long-lasting results.
Tea Bags can be Helpful
Tea contains caffeine and caffeine contains tannins that can work wonders in getting rid of puffy skin and dark circles. Here is how to do it step by step,
- Soak up two tea bags in warm water (not too hot).
- Put these bags in a refrigerator and chill them for about 10-15 minutes.
- Place one tea bag on both eyes for 5-6 minutes.
- Your eyes will start looking fresh and much brighter than before.
- Repeat this procedure for 2-3 weeks for long-lasting results.
Cool Down your Skin
Cooling down the area under your eyes to get rid of dark circles is one of the most effective home remedies available to you. This particular solution is practiced all over the world and does work for almost all skin types. Thick Cucumber slices, potato slices, cotton balls soaked in rose water as well as the mixture of tomato juice + lemon juice can do the trick for you. Whatever you choose from the above-mentioned procedures, leave it on your eyelids and the area under your eyes for about 10-15 minutes, and then rinse it off with a moisturizer. Repeat the process for about 2-3 weeks for long-lasting results.
Eat collagen-producing foods or vitamins
Vitamin C, copper, and amino acids are known for their collagen-producing properties. You can either take supplements that contain any of these or else you can eat food that is rich in copper, amino acid, and vitamin C. Smoking or drinking too much alcohol will not let any of these vitamins or supplements work. So, you need to stop consuming them right away. Here is a list of foods that are rich in vitamin C;
- Guava
- Broccoli
- Almost all types of berries
- Grapefruit
- Pineapple
Bottom Line
Many remedies are available on the internet but I did my research and have only chosen the most effective ones (based on reviews). I sincerely believe that all of these can work wonders against dark circles for people with general and sensitive skin types. If you do try out any of these remedies and the swelling or discoloration worsens then visit a dermatologist as soon as possible. A dermatologist can diagnose your skin type and suggest a precise dark circles treatment in Dubai based on his diagnosis.
