Hi Diana I have been very busy lately with lots of late nights and I haven’t been getting enough rest. My problem is it shows around my eyes which look puffy and have dark circles under them! What can I do to brighten them up!
Lucy Craig… Glasgow
Well Lucy I have a several homemade remedies to help with your puffy eyes.
Either you can apply cold, damp used tea bags to each eye, or slices of cucumber, or cotton pads soaked in witch hazel, or simply 2 cold teaspoons (all kept in fridge). Give yourself time off, lie back, apply and relax for a soothing 10 mins. All the above can work wonders!
With regard to the dark circles, they may indicate an excess of alcohol, cigarettes or coffee? If that’s the case cut back! In the meantime, try applying thin slices of potato or taking a brisk walk will get the lymphatic drainage system going to clear away the toxin build up, the cause of dark circles. Matt concealer helps disguise dark circles if all else fails! If you have under eye bags you can again kick start the lymphatic drainage by tapping along lower eye socket with your fingertips – working from the inside to outer corner of your eyes.
Lucy you’ll soon be bright eyed and bushy tailed again!
