Eyes are not only a mirror of the soul, but also a business card of a woman. If your eyes shine with health, then on others you will produce the most favorable impression. But what if you have bruises or swelling under your eyes?
Bruises under the eyes and puffiness are the two main enemies of female beauty. Let's understand the reasons for their appearance and means of struggle.
The problem is that the area under the eyes is devoid of subcutaneous fat - in contrast to all other areas of the face. Therefore, the skin here is more transparent, and the vessels are more visible (this explains the appearance of bruises). And if the liquid accumulates in this area, edema becomes very noticeable.
The cause of the appearance of swelling may be lack of sleep or excessive amounts of alcohol, drunk the day before. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of swelling in the future, try to get enough sleep and do not drink more than your norm.
However, it is possible that the reason may lie in something else. If you regularly get enough sleep and do not abuse alcohol, but there are still swelling under the eyes - use one of the old proven methods. For example, put the mugs of raw potatoes or cucumber on the eyes for 15 minutes. You can also attach wadded disks, moistened with ice water, to the eyes. Just a few minutes - and the swelling will significantly decrease or disappear altogether.
A good effect is also provided by chilled water-soaked tea bags. If you put them on your eyelids for 10 minutes - then the tannin and other substances contained in the tea will help reduce swelling and relax your eyes.
Another proven remedy is a slightly whipped egg white. Use a brush to apply it to the skin under the eyes and wait a few minutes. It will help to pull off the skin, which means, make the swelling less noticeable.
The second problem, familiar to many women, is the dark circles under the eyes. Most often, creams and gels, which promise to rid us of these troubles, are ineffective. What to do?
You can try one of the following home recipes:
- Cut the potato welded "in a uniform" into small pieces, lightly cool it and attach it to the eyes.
- Cut the parsley leaves finely or rub and compress on the skin around the eyes with the resulting gruel.
- Silver has the ability to reduce bruises under the eyes. Therefore, try to carefully attach to the bruises silver spoons.
If you want to mask circles under the eyes with the help of decorative cosmetics - you will need three tools: a pencil-proofreader, foundation and powder. First, apply the corrector to the darkest areas of the skin under the eyes. Then carefully distribute on this area a voice-frequency cream with the help of sponge. And only then apply powder.
And, finally, remember the precautionary rules: in addition to sufficiently long sleep and moderation in alcohol intake, be careful not to drink too much water at night and not eat too spicy food.
