Get Rid of Dark Circles Fast with This Simple Trick

Dark circles under your eyes are both unsightly and can make you look much older than you really are, which can affect your confidence. But by using a simple trick, you can get rid of dark circles fast!

What are dark circles?

Dark circles are common skin imperfections that are most often caused by sleeplessness, liver or kidney problems, and other diseases. They can also be the result of genetic factors or allergies that cause enlarged blood vessels around the eyes. Regardless of the source, they affect millions of people across the world, making it difficult to wear any eye makeup without first concealing them. A long-term solution is hard to find because dark circles are typically irreversible and cannot be cured, but fortunately there are ways to get rid of them in a pinch so you don't have to worry about your undereye appearance for the time being. We'll take a look at two options for achieving these goals- home remedies and over-the-counter drugs.

Contributing factors

It can be difficult to feel great about your skin when you have dark circles around your eyes. In addition to looking tired, they can also make it look like you are tired. Fortunately, there is a super easy way to get rid of dark circles that will make your eyes look so much brighter. All you need is some baking soda and lemon juice from the fridge. You may be wondering how this works or if it's safe for your skin and the answer is yes--it actually helps fight acne because it has natural antibacterial properties. Basically, mix together a teaspoon of lemon juice and baking soda in a small bowl.

What you can do about it

Constant stress and poor diet can lead to the development of dark circles under your eyes. These rings are not just unsightly, but they also lower your self-esteem and take a toll on your mental health. There are some steps you can take in order to prevent them from forming and reduce their visibility if they already exist.

1. Drink lots of water: When you are dehydrated, your body tries to conserve water by pulling it from everywhere, including around the eyes.

2. Watch what you eat: If blood sugar drops too low during sleep, there is an increase in dark circle appearance. Try avoiding high glycemic index foods such as sweets or chips before bedtime.

The Best Product

Sleep deprivation is a vicious cycle that many suffer from, but sometimes it's hard to break out of. Luckily, there's hope in the form of an all-natural product that helps get rid of dark circles for good. Mix 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel with 1 vitamin e capsule. Mix them both nicely and put in a jar. It's proven to lessen the appearance of dark circles and puffiness within 2 weeks. Simply apply it under your eyes before bed and it will naturally help decrease inflammation and puffiness so you can wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It also moisturizes while you sleep to prevent any wrinkles or fine lines from forming as a result. Now that we know this trick works wonders, I think we'll all be able to sleep better tonight!

How to use it?

This simple trick is great for getting rid of dark circles under your eyes. Keep in mind that it's not a miracle cure for puffiness or drooping, so if you want to address those issues you might need to take a few more steps. What you'll need: toothpaste, an egg white and two spoons. Follow these steps below:

1) Separate the egg whites from the yolk (or use whipped egg whites). Scoop out about one tablespoon of the goopy mixture and place it into a bowl. 

2) Take 1 teaspoon (or 4 grams) worth of plain, unflavored toothpaste and mix it in with the egg white.

3) Add another spoonful of egg white to the mixture. Stir everything together until it's smooth and uniform. 

4) Apply this paste on your eyelids and beneath them. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. 

5) Once you're done, pat your skin dry using a towel and moisturize as usual.
