One of the problems that we sometimes face is the dark circles under our eyes. It can be an indication that we are tired, experiencing allergic reactions, or just that we are aging.
Dark circles under the eyes have been a problem for generations, but they don’t need to continue to be an issue. There is a simple solution that is all too often overlooked and in many cases, has been lost to time.
First of all, I’m not talking about a store-bought solution that comes in the form of a cream or gel. You don’t have to take any pills, and you don’t have to spend any money to achieve what you desire.
This simple method of removing dark circles has been passed down through the generations, and it is a fix that can fit into even the busiest of schedules. What is it?
Follow these steps:
1. Put a regular teaspoon into the freezer for five minutes. The cold temperature in the spoon helps the skin to tighten under the eyes and reduces dark circles.
2. After the five-minute time period has elapsed, remove the spoon from the freezer and press it gently under the eye. Hold it in place for about two minutes, allowing the blood circulation to improve in the area and reduce puffiness.
3. Continue to hold the spoon in the area for another minute but now use it to lightly massage the space under the eye. Additional blood flow will occur and it will reduce dark circles over time.
Why Does This Work?
First of all, the tightening effect occurs when you have cold temperatures in the area. It narrows the blood vessels, making the dark circles less visible.
The cold sensation and gentle pressure can also improve blood circulation in the area. When you have better blood circulation, you have less blood pooling. In other words, the dark circles are not as noticeable.
Finally, since this method is simple and doesn’t cost you a penny, it is a convenient option for reducing the dark circles that we would all rather not have.
