Reduce Under Eye Circles Naturally

by Marilyn Etzel

Do you ever wake up in the morning looking like you went a few rounds with a prize fighter? No one wants to show their face to the world bearing dark under eye circles. Before reaching for the newest beauty treatment on the market, try to resolve the dilemma of the under eye circles with a natural remedy.

Why do we have to put up with under eye circles? Many people don't know the causes. Not getting enough sleep is the first potential cause that comes to mind. Stress can bring on sleeplessness and other conditions that can lead to under eye circles. Dark circles are one sign that the body isn't getting the time it needs while you sleep to repair itself.

Shedding tears of joy or sadness causes problems under the eyes. Tears are retained in the tissue and dark circles and puffiness result.

Here are a few ways to reduce that look without chemicals.

1. Use cucumbers. We've all seen it done on television and probably wondered if it works. Place a couple of thin chilled slices of cucumber on closed eyes for 10 minutes. Cucumber juices reduce the appearance of puffiness almost like an astringent. It also lightens dark circles. And, you can eat them afterwards.

2. Potato slices are good for under eye circles as well. Who ever heard of using potatoes? In old fashioned remedies, potatoes were used to draw out impurities. Here, use thin raw potato slices (washed first). Apply them to your eyes for about 20 minutes. The circles will get lighter.

3. Bananas. They are great to eat and now they can work wonders for the outside as well as the inside. Create a puree using bananas. When you are ready for bed, apply some of the puree under your eyes like you would a cream. The potassium in the banana helps balance the amount of water in your skin. You'll see those dark circles disappear or at the least, they will be lightened significantly.

4. Use chamomile tea bags. Whether warm or cold, tea bags can help in the fight against under eye circles. Brew the tea like you would if you wanted to enjoy a cup. Put the tea bags on a plate to cool. For chilled tea bags, place them in the refrigerator. When the desired temperature is reached, put the tea bags on your eyes for 10 minutes.

5. Water. Drinking water will never go out of style. Your body is 90 percent water. Dark circles can evolve from a poorly watered body. The usual daily dose is at least eight glasses. Drinking your water (flavored or plain) can stop dark circles in their tracks.

6. Make changes to your diet. Your body will let you know when there is a deficiency. The skin is our largest organ so changes are sure to show up there. One sign of deficiency is dark patches under the eyes.

7. Dark circles and lack of moisture. Keep skin hydrated from the outside as well. Using a daily moisturizer with Vitamin E (avocado and nut ingredients) keeps skin supple. For a more natural application, use avocado puree or almond oil.

Dark circles are not how we want to put our best face forward. Get rid of them naturally, without harsh chemicals.
