FADE THOSE DARK CIRCLES AWAY
A common beauty and dermatological complaint, dark circles make you look much older than your age. Here are some tips to cure dark circles effectively.
What Causes Dark Circles
In medical terms, it is called ‘oxidizing haemoglobin’ where tiny blood vessels spread around the delicate skin around the eyes. Since the capillaries are too small, the red blood cells clog up in a single line in order to pass through. As a result the enzymes present in your body break down the red blood cells, including the haemoglobin. This leaves a dark blue-black colour around the skin area. Since the skin around the eye area is thin and the capillaries are closer to the skin, dark circles are more visible around the eye area
Home Remedies For Dark Circles
o
Place used and refrigerated tea bags on your eyes for about 15 min.

Before going out, apply concealer, foundation cream and powder to cover up those dark circles.
o
Get into the healthy habit of eating well, sleeping at least 6-8 hours and drinking lots of water.
o
Practice yoga exercises such as palming. Rub the palms of your hands together till you find them warm. Then gently place them on your eyes for about 2-3 minutes. Repeat this exercise as often as you want.
o Place a metal spoon under cold running water for a few minutes, dry off the water and hold the spoons gently to your eyes for at least 60 seconds.

EYE CARE AT WORK
Here’s some exercise to completely relax the eyes and the surrounding muscles:
• Close your eyes and think of something that is pleasant or soothing and at a distance (like the horizon over a stretch of green, a sail in the midst of a huge water mass).
• Now gently open your eyes and look into the distance.
• Now shift your focus on an object that is at arm's length.
• Do this extremely relaxing exercise four to five times a day.
You will literally feel that fatigue oozing out of your eyes.
GET THAT BEAUTY SLEEP
Make-up can camouflage your dark circles but can it make you look as ravishing as after you’ve had your beauty sleep? In case of severe insomnia, be sure to consult a doctor.
DO…
• Keep regular hours for sleeping and waking.
• Try conscious relaxation or meditation before bedtime. It helps to calm the mind.
• Add a tablespoon of honey to a glass of warm milk and drink it before bedtime.
• Keep the room at a comfortable temperature.
• Try reading a book.
• Have a bed switch, so you don’t have to get up to turn out the lights.
DON’T…
• Exercise just before bedtime.
• Try to sleep immediately after a meal.
• Have stimulants like coffee before bedtime.
• Keep your TV set in the bedroom.
• Force yourself to sleep. It’s a sure way of keeping awake!
