Banish dark circles

Hello everyone :* Today I'm going to be giving you a few tips and tricks to banish dark circles and puffy eyes.

1)Instant methods
Okay, we all have those mornings just 2 hours after night, when we have presentations or submissions or sleepless nights, right? In that case,you end up looking like a sick raccoon or a panda  Okay all you need in that case is ice. Yes,it is that simple. Just take a chunk or cube of ice and rub it under your eyes for sometime and you will notice the puffiness saying goodbye. Also you could always keep two spoons in your freezer and place them on your dark circles till they're warm and then repeat once they're cold again. This method really helps soothe the capillaries beneath your skin ,reducing the blood flow and minimizing puffiness. 

2)Natural home remedies
a)Aloe vera gel
Aloe vera gel is an amazing treatment for most of the skin problems. It has high content of water and hence soothes the skin. It moisturizes and has natural sun protection factor (spf) which protects from sun darkening and skin ageing. Since it is in a gel form naturally, the skin absorbs it easily. What more do we need ? Just squeeze a little aloe leaf and apply at night before going to bed and in the mornings .You will notice a visible difference in a week or two.

b) Using almond oil
Almond oil has been used for many years to banish dark circles and maintain youthful skin. It naturally lightens skin,reverses sun damage like fine lines and softens skin. One very important thing is to use 100 % pure almond oil and not the one available as a hair oil since it is mixed with mineral oil which is a potent pore clogger. This method is great in case you have mature skin.

c)Using a mixture of coffee grounds and coconut oil
Mix the two ingredients in 1:1 proportion and apply under your eyes. Keep for about half an hour and then remove gently. This is a potent treatment because, coconut oil will moisturize and caffeine in the coffee helps lighten skin and reduce puffiness.

d)Using green tea bags
Don't throw away your used green tea bags, just chill them and use them as a treatment for dark circles. Green tea being high in antioxidants rejuvenates the skin and lessens the appearance of dark circles.

e)Use essential oils
Essential oils and aromatherapy are very good treatments for dark circles. Chamomile oil is much talked about for skin health.
