Learn a simple way to lighten dark circles at home

After we turn 18, there’s no way around it: just one bad night’s sleep and the next morning you’ll be covered with the dreaded dark circles.

These dark spots under the eyes reveal that we are tired and leave us looking down and even a little sad.

Worse still, sometimes you don’t even have to be tired! It could be that you simply tend to have dark circles under your eyes and you always have those purplish blemishes standing out on your face, giving an impression that is not so true about how you feel.

If you suffer from this problem, you need to know the homemade recipe recommended by youtuber Tammy Sloty to soothe dark circles and puffiness in the area just below the eyes. The tip is very simple:

To make the recipe at home, you will only need two simple ingredients that you should already have in your kitchen:

• 1 tablespoon of coffee grounds;
• 1/2 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil.

Caffeine has an anti-inflammatory function, helping to soothe the skin, and is a noun that activates circulation, increasing blood flow. As a result, there is an improvement in tissue oxygenation and in the elimination of toxins, which promotes the smoothing of dark circles and fat bags.

Olive oil and coconut oil, in turn, are ingredients that promote deep hydration in the region below the eyes, which has very thin and delicate skin. Both are rich in antioxidants and form a protective layer that prevents water loss.

Now, separate the ingredients and see how easy it is to prepare and use this homemade recipe to get rid of dark circles:

1. Mix coffee grounds and olive oil or coconut oil in a bowl

2. Using your fingers, apply the paste to the dark circles area.

3. Massage with gentle movements so as not to hurt the skin

4. Wait 5 to 10 minutes and rinse

According to the youtuber, she noticed an immediate softening in the coloring and puffiness of the dark circles.

Keep in mind, though, that this tip has a temporary effect. That way, it is necessary to repeat the procedure once a week to continue whitening the stains, otherwise they will come back with everything!

Other homemade tips to get rid of dark circles

If your dark circles are very visible, you can associate the homemade tip from youtuber Tammy Sloty with other tricks that are very easy to do. Write down:

• chamomile tea: make a very strong tea and, after it cools, put the bags with the herb in the freezer. Then, place them over the eyes for 10 to 15 minutes;
• Saline solution: Soak cotton swabs in saline and place them in the freezer until they are very cold. Then apply them in the eye area;
• papaya and milk: beat 100 ml of milk with half papaya in the blender until it forms a baby food. Apply over eyes and let it act for 20 minutes.

If none of these tricks are enough to soften your dark circles, know that aesthetic medicine has a series of treatments for this problem, such as carboxytherapy, peeling, filling and laser. In these cases, always look for a dermatologist so that he can indicate the best options for you.
