how to remove dark circles 

 As we age puffy eyes and dark circles can become a reoccurring

problem that is not only irritating it's hard to cover up. They can also make

us feel less than beautiful. But never fear, there are natural treatments and

over the counter products that can help reduce puffy eyes and dark

circles when used properly. The trick is finding the one that works best for

your situation.

As we have discussed before a healthy inside leads to a healthy outside,

so one of the first things you can do is reduce your consumption of

salt. Also add Vitamins A, C, and E to your diet. Make sure you are

getting enough sleep as well.

There are also popular home remedies that can work to remove the

puffiness and darkness. These include applying is to apply (Green) tea

bags, fresh cut cucumbers, cold spoons or (this may sound odd) a

hemorrhoid cream like Preparation H.

These can all work very well for short-term relief. Just keep in mind when

using the hemorrhoid cream be sure not to use it every day and avoid

getting it in your eyes because it can be harmful

When locating products for puffy eyes, look for ingredients with horse

chestnut that promotes micro-circulation. Aloe that soothes and hydrates.

Ivy to decongest and eliminate excess water. Caffeine to decrease the

swelling. Green or white tea to soothe the redness and inflammation.

Cucumber to reduce the inflammation. Licorice to reduce the puffiness

and soothes the irritation.

When you're seeking a longer fix there are injectable wrinkle fillers such

as Juvederm and Restylane, but these should only be administered by

licensed professionals and only when you've exhausted other less

invasive treatments. The filler is injected around the puffy area to remove

the indentation as the result of the puffiness.

Botox is also commonly used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. They

all have the same effect of creating a younger appearance to the eyes

These methods are often very costly and usually only last a few months

before the procedure needs to be repeated.

Some people have the daily morning darkness referred to as “raccoon

eyes” that is near the underside of their eyes making the person appear

tired, older, and drug out. The fact some people have it naturally even with

getting the right amounts of sleep lead them to seek alternative products

to remove the dark circles.

Look for products with Vitamin K to stimulate the blood flow and repair

the broken capillary walls near the eyes. Vitamin A, C, and E to reduce

the free radicals and to increase the antioxidant protectors. Peptide

technology to promote collagen synthesis to firm the eye tissue.

Hesperidin to strengthen the capillaries to reduce the leaking and reduce

blood pooling as well as improving the micro-circulation in the eye region.

Konica acid to lighten the skin areas from discoloration. Eyebright, pearls

and light diffuser to visually filter light and to brighten and illuminate the

eye regions.

To camouflage the darkness use a peach or salmon colored concealer.

For the puffiness use nylon concealer brush to add a thin layer of a

product in the creases below the puffy area. After you add a concealer a

few shades darker than your foundation. Apply the foundation before the

concealer.

When it comes to treating dark circles and puffy under eyes the process

is often time-consuming and requires a lot of trial and error before finding

the regimen that works best for you.
