How to get rid of dark circles quickly before New Year΄s Eve!
The fatigue accumulated before the holidays can lead to the accentuation of dark circles, right now, when we are preparing to look great in selfies, on New Year’s Eve. Here are some simple tricks to alleviate or even remove the problem.
Dark circles form in the area with thin, sensitive skin, under the eyes, due to health problems, disorganized lifestyle or genetic baggage, and are accentuated when we get tired and do not get enough sleep. People with darker skin are more prone to dark circles due to the hyper pigmentation that give the skin around the eyes a darker shade. Also, with age, the level of collagen in the skin gradually decreases, the tissue becomes thinner, the veins become more prominent, and the circles are more visible and annoying.
What is to be done, in the short term, to enter the new year with a bright look? Here are some suggestions:
Sleep, the ideal remedy
First, try to sleep well and enough (at least seven hours a night) before an important event - in this case, New Year’s Eve. Sleep solves half of the dark circles problem. If you have a hard time falling asleep and wake up often overnight, take a melatonin pill every night before going to bed, a dietary supplement that balances the production of natural hormone of the same name. Studies have shown that the blue light emitted by the screens of phones and tablets affects the level of melatonin in the body and leads to the installation of insomnia.
A bit of vitamin K
There is no need to swallow it, just use it as a serum for the region around the eyes. Apply a thin layer of liquid vitamin K (from ampoule) before going to bed, to improve blood circulation and skin regeneration.
Dedicated cosmetics
The benefits of under eye creams are quite controversial, but the truth is that a cream dedicated to that specific area contains nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants that are effective over time and act without irritating the eyes, which is extremely important. Use a good eye cream consistently every morning and evening.
Three other things to do in the days before New Year’s Eve:
- Stop drinking alcohol
- Drink at least 2 liters of water a day
- Gently massage the area around the eyes
- Apply thin slices of raw potato daily under the eyes
