Do you have unsightly under eye
bags? They make you look much older than your years, but you can
get rid of them permanently, without surgery. Discover five tips
in this article which will help.
In addition to making you look as
if you're totally exhausted, dark marks and bags under your eyes
are an indication that your health isn't up to par. Yes, you can
get rid of your bags temporarily with surgery, but taking care
of your health will remove the bags for good.
Here's how to take care of
yourself so that your under eye bags gradually disappear.
1. Eat for Your Skin -- B
Vitamins Help You Glow
Few people get sufficient B
vitamins in their daily diet. One of the most important B
vitamins when it comes to your skin is biotin, which is
essential for the health of your skin, hair and nails. Eat more
bananas and oatmeal to increase the quantity of biotin, so your
body can repair skin damage.
Many creams are available which
contain B vitamins: they add a glow to your skin, and they're
good for you too -- but do remember that the best source of B
vitamins is a good diet.
2. Less Alcohol, More Water
Alcohol dries out your skin. A
night on the town and not enough water: result, instant under
eye bags.
Water is vital to help your
body to function efficiently, and it's easy to forget to drink
plenty of water when you're out and about. Drink plenty of water
so that toxins are flushed from your system: a bruised look
under your eyes is a sign that your kidneys and liver need help.
3. Get More Sleep -- There's a
Reason They Call It Beauty Sleep
Lack of sleep can also cause
discoloring and bags under your eyes. Aim for at least seven
hours of sleep a night. Your body conducts needed repairs as you
sleep. If you don't get enough rest, more than your appearance
will suffer.
4. Miracle Cure -- Green Tea
Bags
Good food and plenty of rest
will erase your under eye bags. But what if you want an instant
fix? Here's one which works: green tea bags.
Save your green tea bags in the
fridge. Before a night out, lie down for ten minutes with the
cooled tea bags as a compress.
5. Is It Your Cosmetics? Go
Fragrance-Free
The labels on many cosmetics
read like a chemical factory's inventory. Who knows what those
chemicals do to your skin, not to mention your health?
When you have under eye bags,
your motto for cosmetics and skin care products should be:
chemical and fragrance-free. Use natural skin care products
until your bags have vanished!
