Your new Landau scrubs are well pressed, hair neatly tied, and shoes newly cleaned. You look almost perfect, except for that panda mask you’ve been wearing after only 2 weeks since you started working in the night shift. Yes, I’m referring to those dark circles. I personally have to deal with dark circles every time I face the mirror. And guess what, my colleagues call me panda.
I always desired to get rid of these dark circles, but I just don’t have time to look for any treatment, even from the internet. Today, though, while reading the news, I saw in the sidebar of one site tips on how to get rid of under eye circles. It took me to about.com.
I haven’t tried it yet, except the last two tips. Nonetheless, I wanna share it to you.
Dark circles appear for several reasons. It can be due to nasal congestion, allergies, and vitamin deficiency. It can also be brought about by poor adrenals, bad circulation, and broken vessels. Dark circles can also be hereditary. To be able to remove the discoloration under the eyes, of course, it’s the cause that must be treated first.
(1) Take Multivitamins. Health care workers who work in the night shift often suffer from vitamin deficiency, so taking multivitamins should work well. Vitamin b6, b12 and folic acid in multivitamins will substantiate the necessary vitamins.
2) Increase Calcium and Magnesium Intake. This should improve adrenal function.
3) Over the counter allergy meds could easily treat nasal congestion.
4) For improved circulation, eat foods with less salt, and quit smoking.
(5) If you have this habit of rubbing the eyes, it’s time to break it to avoid damage of delicate blood vessels in under the eye area.
(6) Splash cold water first thing in the morning to deal with puffy eyes. This should help undereye capillaries contract and reduce swelling. Puffy eyes give undereye area that discolored look.
(7) Gently press cold spoons on your eyes for five minutes. But first, put them in the freezer for 5 minutes.
(8) Put chamomile teabag, which were set in the fridge overnight, for 15 minutes. Cucumber should also do.
(9) Use creams that are concentrated with vitamin C or K.
(10) Apply concealer.
