     Remedy for Dark Circles or Puffiness Under Eyes

     The following list of ingredients to reduce bags or bruising under the eyes are cheap and easy to find at your local drug store or online.

     * Empty 4oz bottle with lid
     * 100% pure chamomile essential oil
     * Witch hazel
     * Cotton balls or cotton cosmetic pads

     Mix together in the empty bottle 4oz of witch hazel and four drops of chamomile essential oil. Put the lid on the bottle and shake well. Store in the refrigerator until needed.

     To use the homemade solution, dampen two cotton balls or cotton cosmetic pads with the cool witch hazel and chamomile liquid. Lay down and place one cotton ball over each closed eye. Be sure to lay your head on a pillow to help raise your head above heart level since this also helps to reduce swelling under the

     Rest for five minutes or so while the puffy eye treatment takes effect. Avoid opening your eyes with the compresses on since the mixture will sting. Once the dampened cotton balls are removed, let your skin dry before opening your eyes. This mixture can be used as needed, or even on a daily basis.

     How The Puffy Eye Treatment Works

     Since witch hazel is high in tannins, it has an astringent effect that helps to tighten tissue and reduce swelling. The chamomile essential oil helps to stimulate the flow of blood in the veins beneath the eyes and is also an anti-inflammatory. Keeping the solution in the refrigerator keeps it cold, which helps reduce swelling.

     If this remedy doesn’t help and under eye circles or swelling is accompanied by blurred vision, pain or discomfort, contact your optometrist to rule out any medical conditions that may require further treatment.

     Cooling Overnight Treatments

     Because those bags tend to be visible when we wake up, using an
     overnight treatment to alleviate the problem can be a wise choice. One of
     the easiest and safest is simply to take an ordinary washcloth from your linen cabinet
     at the end of your pre-bedtime routine. Get it soaking wet with
     cool water, squeeze out the excess water, and sleep with the cloth
     over your eyes as you sleep. Besides helping with the bags, this
     is also a good treatment for stress headaches and can help improve relaxation. works wonders:]

     :1. Be sure to drink enough water. 2. Wear sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 under the eyes to prevent skin weakening caused by sun damage. 3. Get plenty of rest. 4. Apply plain cool teabags over closed eyes. Don’t use herbal teabags, because most aren't as effective. 5. Apply cool cucumber slices over closed eyes for 15 minutes. 6. Be careful not to consume too much dietary salt. Start by learning about sources of sodium in the diet. 7. Apply vitamin K cream.

    I am 23yrs and from past one years I am having problems with my under eye xcan any one find the solution?
    I dont even know if it is sunken eyes puffiness or dark circle?I feel its all of them I relly feel bad and loose my confidence because of it does anyone has any homemade remedies for this?

    • ANSWER:
      There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

      If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:

      Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

12. QUESTION:
    Dark circles under my eyes...?
    Okay, every day when I wake up I have HUGE circles under my eyes and then as the day goes by, the circles are still there and sometimes they get dark. What is something that I could do to stop the dark circles? I'm not gonna be buying medicine or any type of products, so some homemade remedy or something like that. Please, please help me!!!!!! I hate waking up and seeing myself in the mirror with the GIGANTIC circles under my eyes.

    Thanks for answering.
    I don't smoke, so that can't be the reason.

    • ANSWER:
      First, get a good nights sleep and drink plenty of water. That is probably the first thing you should try. Also try and avoid rubbing your eyes.

      If that failts, Use a cold compress, teabag or cucumbers on your eyes in the morning. The cold actually lessens the puffyness and helps lighten the dark circles. Also try a good concealer.

14. QUESTION:
    Bags or dark circles ,help me?
    Hey, im 15 years old and i have bags under the eyes, or so i thought but i hear that bags and dark circles have different cure to getting rid of them. I have like purple/black lines under my eyes that start from the corner of the eye closest to the nose on each eye and filter out and fade. Ok fair enough i watch tele, play a ccomputer and xbox alot dont get much sleep but im changing that, Can some1 tell me how to get rid of these dark type bags under my eyes, homemade remedy would be more to the point as i dont want to go to the doctors over such a little issue.... If sleep is the cure how long before i notice a different and how many houses? They ache sometimes too under my eye's and i would really be thankful for help that can be created with items bought from tesco.... ive tried wiping teabags under my eyes, sleeping earlier and some more methods but they dont seem to work and it effects my smile as my whole face moves apart from the bags that make it look odd. :

    • ANSWER:
      You CAN try to sleep the same amount of hours everyday, and eat all the healthy foods from Mother Nature.

      It's possible changing your sleep & diet can do miracles.

      Vera Wang is a billionaire, designing the best wedding gowns around in this part of town, Kim Kardashian's 3 wedding gowns are from Vera. Take a look @ her eyes, she's got one of the worst bags around, and with all that money and best beauty advisers, she can't get rid of her dark circles.

      Even Oprah & Hilary Clinton who buys the best concealers money can buy can't cover theirs.
      So the answer? None. If you have concealer on, and you look sideways, you can still see those dark bags under the eyes or some calls it dark circles. Only in magazines they're airbrushed & TV, they look like they're NOT THERE.

      Without wearing tons of make up, they can't just go away. Don't believe me? Google them and see their latest photos.

      Jane Fonda had surgery done, admitted she hated surgeries, but that's ONE she actually had done.

15. QUESTION:
    How can I use oatmeal as a face mask (and other beauty questions)?
    What type of oatmeal should I use and should I use it with any other ingredients? For how long should I keep it on my face?

    And for dark circles under my eyes? I get plenty of sleep yet I still have noticeable circles. Any homemade remedies for that? One again, what should I use and for how long?

    And what can I use for making my hair shiny? Thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      oatmeal facial mask -
      http://www.beautytipsonline.com/oatmeal-mask.htm

      circles under you eye -
      caused by : broken capillaries as well as long term allergies side effect which gives under eye a brownish tint.

      treatment: There is a new roll on caffeine stick from Garnier. Home remedies don't seem to work.

      cover up :
      1) do not apply any concealer over the area, it draws more attention rather than cover.
      2) Use loose powder and a white eye liner inside your bottom lash line. this has the effect of making your eyes pop and and taking attention away from under your eye
      3) Use only good quality liner pencils and mascara. As the day goes by the less expensive products tend to "shed" or "breakdown". When this happens the area below your eye is where it settles leaving the area even darker.

      application:
      1) Before applying any eye makeup dab on loose face powder
      a) lightly over eye lid and then dust under your eye. (one shade lighter than face and think clown face amount)
      2)apply all eye make up. Once full eye is completed and dry use a fan brush to whisk away excess powder.
      3) This kind of application will give you perfect eyes all day without dark circles.

      Hair: Wash hair in warm water. Use a gentle clean shampoo and apply conditioner only from ear to ear and down. (Your scalp has natural oils to condition that top of ears area.) When ready to rinse out condition apply cold water. The coldest you can stand it to rinse your hair. This will make each individual hair shaft smooth and your hair will be super shiny.

16. QUESTION:
    Natural beauty home remedies?
    I do not like using makeup or anything artificial like that but I would really appreciate it if anyone had some simple homemade remedies to make lips pinker, make skin glow or reduce dark circles under the eyes. My skin is overall clear but I would like to know if anyone has anything natural or homemade that would help to make my face look better. I have tried lemon juice and honey but they don't seem to work for me. Thank you to all the people who take the time to answer my question in advance

    • ANSWER:
      For the lips, you can create a simple stain by reducing red berries, such as raspberries and strawberries, cherries, as well, or non-toxic flower petals.
      To reduce them you must boil the item-or items in a small amount of water, make sure that whatever you are using has been somewhat finely chopped, like cooking, then when the water is the color you want it, push the excess debris through a sieve to get out all the "juices." This stain should work on both lips and cheeks; I've done it many times.
      For the dark circles you will need some bags of green tea steeped in cold water for about five minutes, place under your eyes for about 10 minutes, and, drink the tea while you wait! The natural caffeine will help to minimize the darkness under your eyes. You can also try placing a spoon that has been in the freezer overnight under the eyes right in the morning.
      Depending on your skin type, oily, dry, etc., there are a few masks that you can try, but, for the most part, to get the "glow," you will need to use some form of cosmetic.
      Hope this helps!

      I hate using shaving cream as it brings me up in a rash. Instead, I use conditioner like a shaving cream (put it on your legs, then shave off) as this gets a close shave and also leaves your legs smooth I did read about using a mixture of bananas, cream and eggs or something that can condition your legs and make them easier to shave, but I haven't tried it.
      To make your nails grow longer and stronger, it's important to maintain a healthy diet - so eat lots of fruit and vegetables, protein like meat for growth and repair and drink plenty of water!
      Sleeping eight hours a night MINIMUM is said to be healthy and to also reduce darkness user the eyes... However, writing more sleep is always good. So have some early nights!
