How to Get Rid of Under Eye Circles

Do you suffer from dark circles under your eyes? Don't fret - so do millions of American woman; whether you were up late with a new baby, working at the office, or just have trouble sleeping , dark, puffy eyes are something that has plagued everyone. Here are some quick tips to get rid of them!

First, make sure you're wearing a concealer with an SPF. Concealing the blemishes until they pass are one of the easiest ways to get rid of them, but the sun [even in winter] can do a great deal of damage, and prevent your under eye circles from going away. At the end of the day, removing makeup completely using an organic eye makeup remover can also help with under eye circles; many woman are surprised by the amount of build up they have under their eyes simply from not getting all their smudged mascara up!

During your sleep, try applying a facial mask that helps with under eye puffiness. This may not reduce the dark coloring, but you can rid yourself of half of the issue and treat your skin in the meantime. These masks work during your sleep period to nourish skin. During the day you can apply things like cucumbers, or luke warm tea bags to your eyes to get rid of circling and other irritation. Reducing your intake of salt, and quitting with bad behaviors like smoking, or eating fatty foods can also help dramatically. If you feel like you've done all you can, try talking to your doctor about a vitamin supplement; sometimes you are simply missing what your body needs to thrive.
