Unfortunately, no medicine can help to cope with such an unpleasant cosmetic defect.
To get rid of bruises forever, you need to find and eliminate the cause of their appearance.
If dark circles under the eyes occur regularly, regardless of external factors (lack of sleep or fatigue), this is the body’s first signal that it’s time to see a doctor.
Bags and dark circles under the eyes can appear as a result of an allergic reaction, a chronic disease, or a malfunction of some internal organs.
A qualified specialist will not only help you get rid of dark circles under your eyes, but will also identify any associated diseases that led to such consequences.
Take vitamins
If dark circles under the eyes appear in the autumn-spring period or after an illness, this may indicate a lack of vitamins.
You can restore the balance by taking multivitamin complexes. You can also get the necessary vitamins by enriching your diet with seafood, grains, nuts, and legumes.
Drink more water
Sometimes dark circles under the eyes can be a symptom of severe dehydration. In this case, you need to give up coffee and tea.
Drink at least 2 liters of still mineral water, freshly squeezed juices and herbal infusions per day, which will help normalize metabolism.
Get more rest
If dark circles under the eyes are a result of chronic fatigue or lack of sleep, pay attention to your daily routine:
- Sleep at least 8 hours a day.
- Ventilate the room before going to bed
- Buy a semi-hard mattress.
- Go to bed no later than midnight.
- Don't overexert yourself during the day.
- Don't overindulge in late night parties.
Use cosmetics
Today in cosmetics stores you can find a variety of products that help in the fight against dark circles under the eyes. When choosing, it is worth giving preference to medicinal cosmetic products from well-known brands.
Use folk remedies
In folk medicine there is a whole arsenal of remedies that are effective in the fight against dark circles under the eyes.
Compresses
Tea compress. Brew fresh tea bags in boiling water and let the liquid cool. Then place one tea bag on each eyelid and leave for 10 minutes.
Potato compresses. Grate raw peeled potatoes on a fine grater. Wrap the resulting mass in clean cotton cloth or gauze and apply the bags to the eyes. You can also apply thin slices of raw potatoes to the eyelids.
Cold milk compress. Soak a cotton pad in cold milk, squeeze it out slightly and apply it to your eyes for 15 minutes.
Compress from fresh cottage cheese. Place a piece of cottage cheese in gauze and apply to the eyelids for 10 minutes.
Bread compress. Lightly soak a piece of bread in room temperature milk and apply it to your eyes for 20 minutes.
Contrast compress from sage. Prepare a decoction of sage and divide it into two parts. Make contrast compresses first from the hot and then from the cold decoction.
Decoctions of medicinal herbs
Chamomile and parsley. Make ice cubes from the decoction and apply them to your eyes, after wrapping them in gauze.
Sage. Moisten a cotton pad with the previously prepared decoction and apply to the eyes.
At the end of each procedure, you need to wash your face with warm, clean water and carefully apply a light nourishing cream to your eyelids.
Eyelid massage
Regular eyelid massage will improve blood circulation and remove swelling. Using light, lightly patting movements, carefully go from the outer corner of the eye to the inner corner, first under the eyes, and then along the eyelid.
It is advisable to do this massage every morning for a few minutes. You can also undergo a professional lymphatic drainage massage.
To permanently remove dark circles under the eyes, you need to use a comprehensive approach. Visit a doctor, take vitamins and minimize negative factors. Only by identifying the cause of bags and dark circles under the eyes can you get rid of this unpleasant problem forever.
