raccoon eyes
from mag..
lighten dark circles. why you get it: age persistent tiredness can cause stagnation of the bloodstream in the lower eyelid region, resulting in a bruised appearance. Also, as you get older, your skin thins and reveals underlying blood vessels. Rubbing and scratching can thicken the skin in people with skin allergies, causing the area to darken. Finally, sometimes the deep pigmentation can be genetic. solutions: 1- get enough sleep, puffy eyes can accentuate the eye circles. 2- reduce fluid intake at bedtime. alternatively, minimise salt intake to prevent fluid retention in the eyelids. 3- moisturise. dryness can worsen the appearance of raccoon eyes. 4- mind your diet. take light, cool foods like non-oily broths and watermelon. no fried or spicy food. 5- massage your eyes. work your fingers around your eyes socket gently for five to eight minutes when you wake up and before you sleep. 6- remove eye makeup thoroughly. leftover pigments may be absorbed by the skin and darken the eye area. i just wanna share this with everyone coz i have raccoon eyes -.- probably becoz i dont have enough sleep, i drink lotsa water before i go to bed and sometimes i dont remove my makeup when i stay out late. |
