Dark under-eye circles are no match for these foods

WHY DO WE get dark circles under our EYES?

The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate, easily mistreated and generally the first area where the marks of age appear, and one of the most common problems we have in this area is dark under-eye circles.

Despite what you might have heard, this can be caused by much more than just lack of sleep. In fact age, environmental contamination and genes all contribute to thinning the skin under the eyes, making the bluish tone of the veins visible in this area.
In addition to the thousands of makeup options that exist to conceal dark circles, there are also many creams and "miracle products" on the market. However, the most natural thing is to help strengthen the skin under your eyes with your food, both those you consume day by day and some that you can apply as a mask.

Avocado

Avocad is just packed full of skin-loving nutrients, such as potassium, folic acid, B vitamins and vitamin E. Including avocado in your diet is a way to improve the health of your skin.
But also, as an emergency treatment, you can apply it in the damaged area. Place a few slices of avocado under your eyes or prepare a simple mask with avocado and frying oil. It will help moisturize and make your skin look younger.

Mint

Mint leaves have a refreshing effect that helps improve blood flow in this area. You can apply them directly, crushed, in the area of ??the dark circles. Do not leave them more than five minutes, since they are quite strong and can be irritating in this delimited zone.

Turmeric

The antioxidants contained in turmeric help to decrease inflammation, thus preventing the formation of dark circles. To make a mask, mix turmeric powder with grape juice. Make a paste and apply it in the area for 10 minutes before washing away. 

CUCUMBER

Cucumbers contain a lot of water and have a calming effect, so are ideal for the sensitive skin under our eyes. Moreover, it has been found that the antioxidants contained in cucumbers (such as isoscoparin and vitexin) help to reduce eye rings.
Put your cucumber slices in the freezer for 15 minutes before placing them on the closed eyes for 10 minutes.

potatoes

The effect of potatoes is similar to that of cucumbers, but their advantage is that they stay cool for longer. Put them in the freezer for 30 minutes and then cut them into slices.

green tea

Studies have shown that green tea is anti-inflammatory and prevents skin aging. In addition, the cooled tea bags also help us against eye rings. Place them in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes and then on your closed eyes.
