Eyecare with these 5 simple and easy self-tested ways to get rid of dark circles, eye-bags, or under-eye puffiness

 So hey you all, I hope you guys are doing great. Today someone asked me about how can he get rid of dark circles? And so I decided to discuss with you guys about under-eye care which we people often forget as we think that it is nothing important at all. And as a result dark circles and under-eye puffiness. Today with the use of gadgets and mobile phones almost a whole of 24 hours, under-eye care can't be avoided as looking at the screen for a continuous time span of 3-4 hours leads our eyes to stress which results in the formation of under-eye bags. But this is not the only reason. There are many other mistakes that we must be committing in our daily lifestyle causing itchy and dark eyes. Other reasons can be:

1. Oversleeping
2. Extreme Fatigue (tired eyes lacking energy)
3. Sleep deprivation or poor sleeping habits
4. Bad diet problem
5. Sun exposure

every second person is having an issue with his under-eye area. And the only help will be under-eye care every day. Just like caring for your skin, your eyes also need special care. It forms an important part of our skincare. So yes I am sharing some of the easy ways to help you with your concerns to reduce dark circles and under-eye puffiness. So let's get started.

WAYS TO REDUCE DARK CIRCLES, EYE BAGS, OR UNDER-EYE PUFFINESS:

CUCUMBER: We all know that this formula works like heaven on dark circles & under-eye puffiness. Cucumber has anti-inflammatory properties and store of anti-oxidants that helps in skin lightening. Cucumber is a hydrating agent and is rich in Vitamin K thus using it over eyes will help to hydrate your stressed eyes and strengthen your under-eye capillaries to avoid itchiness and redness.

All you have to do is cut thick slices of cucumber & refrigerate it for 30 minutes. Place them on your closed eyes and keep them for 10-15 minutes. Now get them off. This will soothe and calm your eyes to avoid puffiness & also lighten your under-eye area waking it up with energy.

 

GREEN TEA BAGS: Green tea bags are well known for their antioxidant properties. Not only drinking green tea is helpful for your healthy lifestyle but it is also beneficial for the eyes. So you can get twin benefits in one go. First drink green tea to keep you light and energetic the whole day but don't throw your teabag. Refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes and place it on your closed eyes & keep it for 15 minutes like cucumber. Now your eyes are all set with freshness and tend to be more lively. 

You can keep your used tea bags for 1-2 days for further use on the eyes. Believe me, it gonna actually bring a big difference in reducing your eye bags. And the most important part is you don't have to do much for using this method except drinking green tea which will actually keep you healthy. For many people drinking green tea can be a life savior so don't miss on health if you want to improve your overall skin health.

UNDER-EYE CREAM: Using an under-eye cream daily is the most effective way to reduce dark circles. We often miss this step in our skincare which actually forms the most important step in a daily skincare regimen. It not only hydrates your under-eye area but also tightens your skin thus reducing fine lines & wrinkles and providing you antiaging benefits. You will not get instant results to say it 1 or 2 days but yes you can see the considerable difference in 2 weeks or 1-month time span. And after 2-3 months you will notice that your dark circles have lightened and almost vanished with its use. Most importantly it will not at all feel itchy or sticky on the eyes as like many eye serums. 

Talking about its application just take a pea-sized amount of product then using a ring finger apply dots under eyes following from the inner corner of eyes to moving outward & gently tap. The ring finger is used to balance the pressure as under the eye area is very delicate and putting heavy pressure can damage your skin tissues under the eye area. Avoid rubbing or dragging your finger as it can cause redness and itchy skin. Now, wait for 2 minutes to let it absorb on the skin. Now you are done with your eyecare and you are all set to apply the rest of your skincare products or makeup. Remember that this is always the first step in skincare. Some eye creams can be used near your lips area where fine lines tend to get their home at the start so all your aging worries can also be solved with its use.

EYE SHEET MASK: Latest trends made it easy for us to fix every skin worry just before unexpected outings. Just like face sheet masks, we can now have eye sheet masks for a quick fix of the under-eye area. Eye masks are a perfect fit when you are going through a very hectic schedule which leads you to skip your basic skincare or you are living most of the hours of day sleepless. Eye masks help to hydrate and calm your restless eyes and freshen them up with deep moisturization. If your eye bags are annoying you then this is the best option to reduce eye puffiness. Not only this it helps to diminish fine lines and dark circles to a large extent. It helps to restore that fresh look so that you don't have to miss any unplanned outings. So overall a good emergency times remedy and even using it once or twice a week will be great to reduce your eye bags. 

EYE MASSAGE: Eye massaging is another good way of helping you out with your dark circles and eye puffiness. Your stressed restless eyes always need to be cared for and relaxed by giving it a quick 30 seconds massage to balance the blood circulation over the area thus enhancing your vision and prevents aging. Eye massaging helps to smooth out wrinkles around the eyes and eliminates puffiness along with skin lightening which ultimately helps in reducing dark circles. You can either use an eye massager or simply use your fingertips tapping around your eyes and giving circular strokes around your eyebrows. You can do it any time of the day as you feel required. 

Also, these are some of the habits that you should indulge in everyday life to avoid dark circles and eye puffiness:

1. Palm your eyes. In this process make the palms of your hands warm by rubbing them hard together for a few seconds and put them on your eyes and as heat is absorbed on eyes they will feel relaxed and calm. You can do this anytime to destress your eyes.
2. Cover your eyes with an eye mask especially at night time. This will block the lighting present in the surroundings and allow your eyes to rest and relax.
3. If due to staring at the screen for long hours your eyes feel itchy and irritated due to dryness, use eye drops. This can help your eyes to get moisturized again. If your eye muscles are weak then using it daily will be a great help. But first, consult a doctor for it
4. Take small screen breaks to avoid pressurizing your eyes.
5. Try to include a diet that is rich in Vitamin E (almonds, peanuts, etc.) and Vitamin K (pomegranate, tomatoes, etc.).
6. Regular eye exercises will help to reduce eye stress and dark circles. 
7. Try to use sunglasses during sun exposure.
