Dark circles or puffy eyes These are problems that many women struggle with, including me!
It's normal to notice tired eyes, the entire area around them more swollen and slightly darkened, when waking up from a bad night's sleep (or a few too many drinks!). But there are women who have the area under their eyes constantly swollen, even when they sleep well. The truth is that sleep is not the only thing responsible for this characteristic, which can greatly affect our self-esteem and makes us invest in lots of makeup to disguise it - which often only puts a strain on our skin. In fact, there are other causes for this problem. It is important to remember that the genetic part also has a huge weight and, against it, there is nothing to do - just accept ourselves. The good news is that there are small habits you can implement into your beauty routine to try to alleviate this sensation and feel more beautiful!
Hydrate!
Of course, hydration had to come first! In fact, drinking water is responsible for the well-being of everything in our body, which is why we remember it so often to drink water. When we abuse alcohol or coffee, it is very likely that this feeling of swollen and darkened eyes increases. In fact, sleepless nights in which we wake up with dark circles under our eyes are often combated with a greater intake of coffee, which, in reality, may not help and lead us into a vicious circle. Drinking water should be on your mind throughout the day and you really need to create this habit. When you wake up, drink a glass of water (or three), if possible reinforced with Beauty Drops , to support collagen production and maintain skin elasticity, which will greatly help those with dark circles.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach
It can be a difficult change - or impossible for some, like me! - but it might be worth a try. In this position, gravity causes pressure on our body that affects the accumulation of fluids under the eyes, as well as increasing the loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles in the long term, due to the friction we exert on the pillow. Of course, the important thing is your sleeping comfort, but if you're willing to give it a chance, try sleeping on your back. You can also choose to purchase silk pillowcases that help a lot to “soften” the skin.
Make sure it's not an allergy
If this feeling of swollen eyes is accompanied by nasal congestion and watery eyes, it could be a symptom of an allergy. Try to understand what the cause could be. Taking adaptogens and medicinal plants that strengthen the immune system can help.
Treat yourself with the Eye Kit
This kit contains the Eficaz serum , a specific concentrate to hydrate the eye contour area, and two Gua Sha mushrooms , to massage this area. If you keep them in the fridge, the feeling of relief will be much greater. Massage helps to increase blood circulation, reducing dark circles and darkening of the skin. Lifts features and prevents fine lines, by enhancing hydration with the serum and skin elasticity.
Or the famous cucumber slices!
Yes, it will look like a teenager straight out of a movie, but it's worth it. Cucumbers, as they have a huge concentration of water and vitamin C, are great for the skin. As they are normally stored in the refrigerator, the freezing temperature in contact with the skin will cause the veins to contract and the dilation of that area to decrease. This is one of those treatments that is very cheap and really has proven effects! Our rose quartz eye mask is equally refreshing and greatly relieves swelling in this area (and also helps with headaches).
Apply a homemade mask
On a day without morning commitments, spend a few more minutes with yourself and apply a mask to the eye area. I like to make mine with matcha tea , pure and full of antioxidants, or with the Detox Mix , based on medicinal plants, adaptogens and superfoods full of detoxifying powers. I mix a tablespoon of one of them with a tablespoon of water, honey or yogurt. Add enough liquid until the mascara is thick enough to handle. My tip is to let the mask rest in the fridge because, as I said, the temperature has a very positive effect. Then just place it on the eye area, let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes and wash your skin well, then moisturize it.
Hydrate your skin!
Although you have to hydrate it from the inside out, you also shouldn't forget about daily topical hydration. After applying your eye contour serum , apply your face serum . Keeping your skin hydrated helps keep the eye area looking brighter and more nourished.
