Dark Circles Under Your Eyes? Fix Them with Something Cold



The area around the eyes are sensitive to stresses coming from the body's bad habits. For example, staying up late can stress the tissues around the eyes, especially those below them. The result are dark bruise-like circles that show how much you're punishing your eyes. These circles become obvious with aged skin. Skin exfoliation can help in improving skin texture, but the problem with dark eye circles lie deeper.

While sleeping late and overworking the eyes can be avoided, sometimes, these are necessary to get things done, like when you have a job deadline to meet. In such cases, it may help to have a plan so that you are ready when those circles appear. The best and tested way to cancel out those marks is to use something cold. This usually gets rid of the appearance of stress and skin aging.

There are people who use cold cucumber slices; some use a cold glass of water; others even use ice cubes. But sometimes, you only need something that has the right temperature - you don't really need to have something that's icy-cold - you only need a rmedy that's just-right-cold. In the video above, fashion icon Losmir suggests using cold tea bags! Watch it to see what she has to say.
