Pigmentation Cure
The International Consumer Hygiene Survey, 2008, polled 1,000 consumers across 10 countries. It found:
Dark patches under and around the eyes make you look tired and can give a haggard look to the face. Dark under eye circles are often genetic. These dark patches and pigmentation can be camouflaged with a concealer.
Dark circles result from various causes including allergies. Something as minor as rubbing the eyes or visual strain can result in pigmentation too. Rubbing the infected area damages the blood vessels under the thin layer of the skin. The blood that oozes out forms a pigment, hemosiderin that results in skin darkening.
Medicated creams containing Vitamin Kanglogues, such as Kinerease, can dissolve hemosiderin and lighten the skin. Skin-lightening creams by Vichy, Neutrogena and Garnier also show results.
Reduce Puffiness
Fluid retention results in puffiness and under- eye begs. Lack of sleep and improper air ventilation result in reduced blood circulation, hence it leads to fluid retention. Water retention from drinking too much alcohol, malfunction and premenstrual hormonal changes can also result in puffy eyes.
A gentle massage is effective in displacing the accumulated fluid. Using a cream or oil, massage your eyes with the middle finger, starting from the inner to the outer corner. Massage the upper eyelids in the same fashion. Regular eye exercise also helps as physical activity prevents fluid retention.
Health Cure: Eye Lines & Wrinkles
Eat healthy, exercise regularly, follow a skincare regimen and use high-quality skincare products from an early age to delay the onset of ageing. Otherwise, cosmetic procedures, such as Botox and fillers can be carried out to wipe off age though temporarily- around the eyes.
Tears are strong chemkicls that harm the eyes. So don’t cry!
Keep smiling and stay beautiful.
