Effective Home Remedies for getting rid of Dark Circles and Under Eye Bags

 


We human beings are imperfect creatures.

We know we’d like to get in better shape, but that "chocolate cookie" looks mighty tasty.

We know we have to wake up early, but there’s only one episode left on the Netflix show we’re binging on.

We know we should apply "sunblock" religiously, but we forget to bring the bottle with us to the beach.

THAT’S LIFE. But that doesn’t mean we can’t form some habits and best practices for mitigating the inevitable effects of a life well-lived.

Here are some best ways to get rid of Dark Circles:

1. Tea Bags

Using tea bags on your eyes is a popular home remedy. Teabags may help to improve the appearance of your eyes by reducing dark circles, puffiness, and redness. They may also help to treat irritation, styes, and pink eye.

2. Cold Compress

A cold compress can help reduce swelling and shrink dilated blood vessels. This can reduce the appearance of puffiness and help eliminate dark circles. Wrap a few ice cubes in a clean washcloth and apply them to your eyes. 

3. Cucumbers

Cucumbers have skin-lightening and mild astringent properties, so you can use cucumber slices to fix raccoon eyes naturally. To try this method twice a day, chop a fresh cucumber into thick slices and then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then, leave the slices on your eyes for 10 minutes. Rinse your eye area with warm (but not hot) water after using.

4. Potatoes

To harness the power of vitamin C to treat your under-eye bags, grate some potatoes. Extract the juice from the potato and soak some cotton makeup remover pads in the juice. Place the pads on your eyes for about 10 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

5. Orange Juice + Glycerin

Since orange juice is high in both vitamin A and C content, it can help remove dark circles from under your eyes. Add a few drops of glycerin to orange juice and then soak a cotton makeup remover pad to apply to your under-eye skin. You’ll reap the benefits of orange vitamins as well as the natural glow glycerin gives to your skin.

6. Turmeric

As yet another powerful, natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, turmeric minimizes dark circles. Mix some turmeric powder with pineapple juice to create a thick paste. Apply this mixture to your under-eye circles and leave for about 10 minutes before using a soft, warm and damp cloth to gently remove the paste. Practice this routine once a day.

7. Coconut Oil

As a powerful natural and gentle anti-inflammatory, coconut oil is an effective method for lightening dark under-eye circles. Use coconut oil like vitamin E oil: rub it into your under-eye area, leave it on overnight and then rinse it off in the morning.

8. Cold Milk

To gain the benefits of milk’s vitamin A, soak a cotton makeup remover pad in a bowl of cold milk for a while. Use the pad to apply the milk to your under-eye bags and let it sit for about 10 minutes, twice daily. Rinse with warm water.

9. Banana Peel

Banana peel can also help to lighten up under eye dark circles. Scoop out the white fibers from the peel and mix it with aloe gel. The potassium peel and moisturizing aloe gel will help to treat under-eye bags and circles.

10.  Eye Pack

Ground fresh coconut
A few drops of lemon juice
2 tsp grated cucumber
1 tsp fresh cream
3 tsp china clay

Mix all these ingredients together and keep in the fridge. Cover the eyes with a cotton gauge and apply the mask over it taking care that the pack does not drip into the eyes. You can lie down in a cool place and relax. This should ideally be left on for a minimum of 20 minutes before gently washing off with milk and then water.

Some Health Myths, Exposed-PART:2

  1. It's good to go on a detox to cleanse your body of toxins:-   Detox diets, juices and treatments are hugely popular, but the very idea that we can take steps to detox our own bodies is a myth. From a medical point of view, there is no need for anyone to detox their systems, as our bodies are built to get rid of toxins way better than any diet or treatment can. Probably the best way to protect your body’s detoxification process would be to take care of the liver and the kidney, which are the body’s main organs in detoxification. 2. Eating food within 5 seconds of dropping it on the floor is safe:-  yes yes I am talking about 5 min rule. It's the worst when something you really wanted to eat falls on the floor. But if you grab it in five seconds, it's ok, right?The five-second-rule isn't a real thing. Bacteria can contaminate a food within milliseconds. Mythbusting tests show that moist foods attract more bacteria than dry foods, but there's no "safe dura...
