Old and effective ways of treating dark circles

Dark blemishes around the eyes are commonly known as dark circles. There dark circles which are more visible under the eyes destroy the beauty of the face and age appearance more then wrinkle and even gray hair. There are many causes of dark circles including heredity, allergies, meditations, liver problem, lack of sleep, load of work, stress and age.

There are many solution to this problem like makeup, expensive creams, medication etc but I believe one should always start treating the problem from home. Why run after doctors and skin specialist or ruining money after expensive treatments and creams when there are simple solutions at home. Always try some thing simple harmless and if you don't get desirable result then of course you can use other options.

In this article I will share some very common, economical and yet effective ways of treating dark circles.



Drinking Water:
Water is nature's blessing, its extremely soothing, relaxes body and mind, releases tension and works best for healing dark circles. Drink at least 8 to 10 glass of water every day. It promotes blood circulation and prevent blood accumulation which is also one of the causes of dark circles.

Beauty Sleep:
Sleep is very essential for human health and well being. Lack of sleep destroys beauty, causes dark circles, makes skin pale, reduces blood circulation, leads to weight loss and serious health problems. Get a minimum of 7 to 9 hours of night sleep daily. There are many surveys and reports that you can study online which stats after experiments that night sleep is more beneficial for body then day sleep.

Eat Healthy:
Eating habits effects the whole appearance of a person. If you want beautiful healthy face free of dark circles eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. The most commonly vegetable known for curing eye circles are cabbage, spinach and all leafy green vegetables. Salt causes blood vessels under the skin to appear blue so reduce the amount of salt you take daily to minimum.

Apply Raw Potato or Cucumber:

Lay down straight on a comfortable place and close your eyes. Cover your eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water and apply a suitable lotion or cream.

Apply homemade juices/pastes:
There are a huge variety of juices that you ca easily make at home that can work wonder of removing dark circles around eyes. Some of them are listed below:

•  Apply pure fresh lemon juice on the black circles 2 to 3 times a day. 

• Squeeze a cucumber and take out its juice and rest it in fridge. Make a mixture of lemon juice, lanolin cream and cucumber juice and apply around the eye for 10-15 minutes.
• Mix turmeric powder with pineapple juice and make a paste. Apply this paste on dark circles under the eyes.

• Applying crushed mint around the eye reduces dark circles.

• Regular application of orange juice mixed with glycerin is an effective way to get rid of dark circles. Besides removing your dark circles it will also provide your skin an inner glow and will make it smoother and softer. 

• Egg is a wonderful natural ingredient that tighten the skin and helps reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Mix one egg white with 3-5 drops of lemon juice. Saturate two clean cotton balls in the mixture, squeeze excess liquid out before placing over the eyes. Leave it for ten minutes. Wash off with warm water then rinse with cold.

• One of the most effective and common remedies for dark circles is tomato paste. Take one or two fresh tomatoes, one tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of gram flour and turmeric powder. Blend these ingredients completely until they become a thick paste and apply it very gently around your eyes. Rinse it off with clean water after 10 or 20 minutes. Apply it 3 to 4 times a week. It will make your skin tone around your eyes lighter and will eventually make your dark circles go away completely.

Apply almond oil:
Almond helps to remove dark circles and is an excellent food for skin. Apply almond oil daily around eyes for 10 minutes. It will reduce dark circles.


Tea Bags:
The tannin in the tea reduces swelling and light up the tone of dark circles caused by lack of sleep. The moisture from the bags is absorbed into the eyes which hydrates them. Use green tea or black tea. Brew the tea bags as you would normally and place them in the refrigerator. Lie down and place a tea bag over each eye and leave in place for about 15 minutes.



Always remember to remove the cream applied around the eye after 10 min. No cream should be left on the skin around the eyes for long periods.


Good Luck...

Bleach facial hair without damaging skin

Facial hair are very annoying for woman and they keep trying several  method to get rid of them. The most commonly used method is bleaching facial hair.

Bleaching facial hair does not remove hair instead it take away the black pigments of hair and give it skin matching color or blond shade.

How to bleach:

The common method of bleaching is as follow;

• Either remove the shirt or put on an old one, because if bleach get in touch with cloth it destroy the color or at least fade it.
• Put on hair cap or wrap up your hair using catcher and apply hair band, as shown below.

Put on hand gloves, bleach get penetrated into figure tips making white spots.

 

• Take out the required amount of cream in a separate small container and add some powder. I always keep the quantity of powder a little lesser then cream else it gets itchy and burns skin as I have normal to sensitive skin. But its up to skin type and also the nature of facial hair. If you have very visible thick hair then use same amount of powder as cream. I will never recommend to use powder more then cream. Even though you might find many article online advising to use more powder then cream, don't do that it can damage you skin and may leave long lasting mark.
• Mix the two ingredients and make sure all the powder has been absorbed by the cream.
• Leave for one minute so that powder may get dissolve fully making fine applicable paste.
• Bleach product usually include a stick (also shown in picture above), I wont recommend that it fails to make uniform paste on to face. Its very important to apply bleach evenly over face else you might get different shades which looks odd. I have Bobby Brown brushes for makeup, I tried the blush on brush once for bleach and its so good that I have an extra blush on brush specially for bleach. My point is get an extra soft brush for bleach just like the one you use for blush on as shown below. And never use that stupid stick they provide in the bottle, it will be very harsh on skin also.

•  Using makeup brush apply bleach to your whole face (just like painting) avoiding area around eyes. Start from the skin where hair are more like upper lips and chin so that they get a little more time.

• Leave for 10 minutes. After 10 min remove cream from area where there are less or no hair such as cheeks, because these areas are more sensitive and as they have very less or no hair so they will need less time.

• A good bleach will not take more them 10 to 15 minute. But after 10 minutes keep checking by removing some cream from a hairy portion and check hair color. If its change then remove all of the cream by wiping out using soft cotton or tissue. Don't be harsh be extra gentle because bleach make skin very very sensitive for a while.
• After wiping bleach wash out you face as you normally do using cleanser.
• After that apply some refreshing toner such as rose water and let you skin relax after tiring bleach.

Bleaching skin is an effective way of hiding facial hair. Its very commonly used because it take very less time and is very less painful then removing hair by other means.

Most women complain of itching and skin burns because of bleach. I have a very nice tip which I must recommend every one to try. It will not only give batter result but also you will not feel any itching or burning while applying bleach.

Tip for Applying Bleach with out damaging skin:

Its a simple tip, when you are making your bleach by mixing bleach cream and powder then also add same amount of cleansing milk as bleach cream.

Cleansing milk is very cool and refreshing moisturizer that why it does not let bleach to warm up skin. It also give a visible brightening effect to your skin after you wash your face. I use Hamalaya cleansing milk, it suits me more. You can try from a wide variety of cleansing milk available in market, by keeping in mind your skin type.

I not only use it myself but also in my parlor its common practice and clients are always satisfied. Now only here in almost every parlor they do the same, they just don't share the tip and women think that they might not doing something right at home for not getting same results.

Good Luck :)

Bleach product comes in two part i.e. cream and bleaching powder, as shown.

Natural Homemade Sugar scrubs

Our skin naturally shed thousands of cells per minute? but sometimes even that’s not enough so it can be done artificially/manually in order to keep skin looking fresh and younger, this process is known as exfoliation process. There are many way to remove dead skin cells as I have mentioned  in my earlier article of regular skin care. The most famous includes using skin scrub. There is a wide range of scrubs available for every skin type with different brand names.

If you read the ingredients of different scrubs of good quality you will find out salt or sugar are commonly included. Then why waste money on expensive scrubs in market why not make something at home that can give batter result and of course no side effects. Its my personal opinion that using natural ingredients never give any side effect unless some one has extra sensitive , overly dry or extremely oily skin, which is of course rare. Over the internet you will find many people or companies who opposes this fact and claims that using natural or homemade products cause side effects, beware most of them make statements only to sell their products.

This scrub will need:

For this scrub you will need;
