How To Get Rid of Dark Under Eyes

The dreaded raccoon eyes…

They are almost impossible to get rid of! Having a busy schedule like myself and staying up until all hours of the night has totally affected my under eyes. Below I have a few natural remedies to fix those pesky dark circles.

Jade Rollers

This is my number 1, the head honcho, the big boss man! Jade rollers increase circulation to the skin and encourage lymphatic drainage by gently massaging the face and under eyes.

Cucumbers.

We’re all picturing the typical “ladies at the spa with cucumbers covering their eyes”, well, they have it right! Cucumber slices cool the skin and while providing vitamin K to help with circulation.

Caffeine.

Caffeine has strong anti-oxidants to help improve under eye circulation, plumps the skin and tightens blood vessels to reduce swelling, ultimately easing the look of dark circles.

Water.

Oh, the benefits of water! Staying hydrated throughout the day flushes out the toxins in your system. Try adding mint, strawberries, mango, lemon, or lime to your water for a more refreshing taste.
