Natural Hidden Solutions for Dark Circles Under Eye


Why do I look this tired? What are these dark circles around my eyes? These are probably some questions you have had to ask every time you look yourself in the mirror. Dark circles around the eyes are quite a very minor problem on the skin which may be brought about by working for long hours with a computer, insomnia, long stressful periods, improper diet, crying, dehydration and aging. However, ultimate natural solutions are here to help you get rid of these dark circles around the eyes. Some ideal home remedies include:

1. Cucumber Pieces
Cucumber has a chemical composition known as astringent which makes it efficient in eliminating dark circles around the eye. Astringent gives cucumber the ability to lighten and fix dark circles. In addition, cucumber gives a relaxed and confident effect. Cut the cucumber into thick pieces about 3 or 4 centimeters wide. Place the cucumber under low temperatures in a refrigerator or with ice for about thirty minutes. Put the pieces around the dark circles for about ten minutes and rinse off with water. Repeat the procedure twice in a day probably in the morning and evening. For a period of about one week, you will have great results with a lightened area around your eyes.

Additionally, make a mixture of lemon juice and cucumber in the ratio of 1:1. Use cotton buds to apply the mixture around the dark circles under the eyes. After 15 minutes, rinse it off with cold water. Follow this procedure for about one week to achieve maximum results.

2. Raw Potato
The juice of potatoes contains a bleaching agent due to the structure of their amino acids. The ability of the potato juice to bleach brightens the skin which helps in removing the dark circles under your eyes. Extract the juice from the potato through grating. Dip cotton wool in the juice and apply to the dark circles with your eyes closed. Ensure that all dark circles are covered by the juice including the eyelids. After ten minutes, rinse the juice off with cold water. Run the procedure for a period of two weeks and enjoy the results. Alternatively, you can cut thick potato slices and rub the juice around the eyes for two weeks. This should be done twice in a day.

3. Rose Water
Rose water contains astringent which has lightening effect giving the skin a brighter look. The water from a rose is the best ingredient to tone the skin and hence an ultimate solution to the dark circles around your eyes.  This water is made by heating fresh roses in water to about ten degrees Celsius. This enables astringent to dissolve in the warm water.  Put cotton wool into the water and allow it to soak. Remove the soaked cotton wool and apply it slowly on the dark circles surrounding your eyes with the eyelids closed. Rinse off the rose water after ten minutes. Do this for a few weeks at a routine of twice daily. Be sure of great results.

4. Tomato Juice
Tomato juice lightens the skin in a great way than you may expect. The bleaching agent in tomatoes helps in lightening the dark circles. Create a mixture of tomato and lemon juice. Ensure that when creating the mixture, you use half the amount of lemon to that of tomato.  Massage the mixture gently on the dark circles for about ten minutes.  Rinse off the mixture with warm water. Repeat the routine continuously for a period of about two weeks.

5. Almond Oil
Almond is one of the best ingredients to fade the dark circles that form around the eyes.  Apply the oil before sleeping and rinse it off in the morning. Any oil containing Vitamin E can act as a substitute for almond oil. Results are expected after about two weeks.

6. Mint Herbs
Mint leaves contain an Astringent and properties to kill germs. Mint gives a cool sensation. Grind mint herbs and apply the paste on the dark circles below the eyes. This should be left to dry for about 15 to 20 minutes before rising with cold water. Lemon juice can be added for effectiveness.

7. Castor Oil
Castor oil contains fatty acids, ricinoleic acid and anti-inflammatory agents. Apply the oil before sleeping and wash it off in the morning. This should be done for a period of about two weeks on a daily routine.

Conclusion
Dark circles shouldn�t lower your esteem. In fact, they should motivate you to have a new good look.  The problem is minor and can be solved using home remedies which will save you artificial creams which are expensive and totally confusing. Through these homemade remedies you will be able to evade carcinogens from creams and live a brilliant and healthy life.

How to Choose the Best Eye Cream for Every Age?


The skin around the eye is the hardest skin to take care of. First it is very sensitive and close to a very delicate organ. You do not just pick on any cream and use it on the skin close to the eye without taking a closer look at the ingredients. With a single simple mistake, you could go blind if a dangerous chemical got into your eye. Also, the skin is very thin than the skin in the other parts of the face. It is even worse considering that it has the fewest oil glands. This leaves this part of the skin looking dry and thus tends to age and show signs of aging very early. Many times, the lines under the eyes are said to be a way of showing what kind of a person you are, your character and if you are a humorous and warm person. All the same, nobody wants to have these aging signs and worse is when they start to show very early in life. However, you do not have to worry as there is a way to take care of these wrinkles at whatever age. The secret is making the right choice on the cream to use.

Look for cream that hydrates 
Because of the few oil glands on the skin beneath the eyes, the skin there tends to be very dry all the time. These makes the skin cells beneath the loose skin water and shrink in size. This leaves the skin very loose and sagging. The sagging skin will lead to wrinkles. Applying eye creams with moisturizing effect keeps your skin moisturized. The cells do not loose water and they remain of size and turgid, and they fit perfectly with the skin leaving no sagging skin. A dry skin is also vulnerable to breaking. And now that the skin under the eyes is very thin, it will break easily. A moisturizer cream will keep the skin hydrated and protect it from breaking. This will help reduce discoloration under the eyes, itching and irritation. Creams with moisturizers are necessary at all ages.

Choose a cream made specifically for sensitive skin
Under the eyes is amazingly sensitive skin and thin than in the other parts of the eye.  Therefore, not all creams will be good around this region. You need to read the labels of all creams carefully before purchase to check out for any chemicals that cause skin irritation. Irritation leads to a lot of rubbing which may result in a bag under eyes. It is important to be on the lookout for creams that are said to be sensitive. In case you are not sure ask around from family members and colleagues for product reviews. This way, am sure you will get a perfect cream for your eyes.

Go for eye creams that address you particular needs
 When going to a store to purchase cream, have your specific need in mind. This will save you the risk of spending your money on a product that will not help you in any way. There are many brands of creams available on the market today, and they all address different needs. Creams that will address wrinkles and sagging may not be effective to treat under-eye circles. Therefore, make sure that you purchase cream for your specific need. Because of demand, many companies now are making products that solve a combination of problems. However, you need to be careful with such products as most of them are scammers. They just want to exploit your money because they know that advertisements may lead to selling even when the products are useless.


Be careful to read and understand the ingredients list
Read the list of ingredients carefully. Check for any chemicals that you could be allergic to. Remember that we have said that under the eyes is very sensitive skin and therefore even a slight trace of a chemical that you are allergic to will cause havoc to your skin. Reading the list will also make sure that you choose the right cream that has all the ingredients to serve your particular needs. Just to help, water should be the major ingredient in most of the creams. Water is essential to hydrate the skin. It is also important to go for creams that are made of natural ingredients. They work great and are gentle on sensitive areas like the skin around the eyes. Most natural ingredients also contain large quantities of antioxidants that are helpful with many problems around the eye. So, irrespective of the age, be keen to know your skin needs and get the right cream.

Conclusion
The bottom line here is that you have to be keen with the cream that you use on the skin under the eyes. This will save you from problems with itching and irritation. Better still you will get results and value for your money.

When Should You Throw Out Your Sunscreen? Does Sunscreen Expire?


Initially, let's just say 'YES';  You should throw away any old or expired sunscreens as they may simply be less efficient for protection.  Let's face it; using sunscreen is so much safer than total exposure to the harmful rays of the sun.  Anyway, you look at it, you are exposed daily to some form of ultraviolet radiation, whether it be ultraviolet A (UVA) or ultraviolet B (UBA).  Too much exposure to either of these common forms of ultraviolet radiation can result in possible life-threatening conditions.  With that in mind, why wouldn't you want the best possible protection for you and your family?

The Need For Protection
It seems that over 90% of the ultraviolet radiation that we are exposed to is in the form of ultraviolet A (UVA), while most of the ultraviolet B (UVB) is absorbed into the ozone layer.  Unfortunately, any exposure to these forms of radiation is considered carcinogenic to humans, so a safe sunscreen protection is always needed in one form or another.

During the daylight hours, the Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays are more prevalent.  These are the rays that are credited with more problems of aging skin and wrinkles, possibly due to their presence even on cloudy days.  On the other hand, Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays are present year round. Due to this, they are more damaging to the outer epidermal layers, often causing the common sunburn.

It's this damage, and often subtle damage, that makes ultraviolet rays so dangerous for us as many of us do not realize the damage is occurring until it's too late.

Life-cycle of Sunscreens
Most sunscreens are a combination of many physical and inorganic substances that reflect and/or diffuse ultraviolet rays.  Of course, this is in addition to fragrances, emulsifiers, preservatives and a host of other additives that make the product more inviting to the consumer.  While the bulk of these ingredients are harmless to most of us, use caution when purchasing by reading the labels and understanding any possible reactions you may have to an ingredient.  One such ingredient that you may need to approach with caution is an ingredient like oxybenzone, with enhances the penetration of those harmful rays. That deeper exposure can cause a great tan now, but some serious repercussions later in the form of irreversible skin damage.   A quicker tan isn't always a better tan.

Meanwhile, keep in mind that as with many over-the-counter drugs (OTC), which sunscreens are considered, most have an expiration date for a reason.  Sunscreens have a general life-cycle of three years, but storage conditions may alter that timeframe.  If your sunscreen has been kept in a dark, cool environment usage past three years may be acceptable. However, if you keep your sunscreen in the glovebox of the car, you may want to toss it after the first year!

Another test for your sunscreen is: Has it separated?  If your sunscreen was once a soft, creamy substance and now comes out with a watery or gritty goo, toss it!  It would seem obvious that the emulsifier has lost it's touch and you have a product that just isn't a safe sunscreen anymore.
Otherwise, a safe rule of thumb is not to use past an expiration date, and if you do, no more than 6 months afterwards. Here are a few reasons why to be safe than sorry:

Did you know that in their lifetime, some 1 in 5  Americans will develop a form of skin cancer?
That one statistic results in almost 5 million people in the United States alone that will receive treatment for some form of wrinkles and skin cancer.

Out of those treated, those resulting in melanomas are 4% in women, and 5% in men.  That's quite an outstanding statistic alone.

Additionally, some 90% of all non-melanoma cancers (skin) are due in one form or another to exposure of harmful ultraviolet rays.

Summary
So, if you are among the millions out there who have worshipped the sun with or without sunscreens, you have probably already seen some of the results with such things as:

  • Moles
  • Wrinkles and excessive wrinkling
  • Freckles 
  • Blemishes
  • Benign Tumors 
  • Aging

By using a high SPF sunscreen now, you can slow down those effects and begin protection today.  The higher the SPF, the better your results, but no higher than 50 as it has no proven effectivity.  Additionally, adding certain vitamins to your diet will help as well.   For instance, Vitamin E helps to protect cells and their membranes, thus preventing damage.  Vitamin C is also effective in repairing damage caused by free radicals.

As with anything as pertains your health, knowledge is powerful and the more you can learn the more powerful you will be at protecting your health and the health of your family.

For men and women at the gym, they can get to capture a selfie of themselves after every workout, therefore, getting to know if they are losing weight or not. Women would want to know if they are finally having the waist they want while men would want to know whether they are achieving well toned muscles all over the body. Therefore, a selfie can act as a self-motivator especially if you don�t have a friend who will compliment you for achieving a certain weight loss goal.

Helps to encourage others 
The majority of people who gain weight usually do so due to a life-changing phenomena such as a breakup or divorce. Emotional eating has been categorized as a disorder by physicians around the world and it has created several obese cases.

When one finally gathers the courage of losing weight by engaging in various exercises, they expect certain results in the end. Thanks to social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, people can post selfies of their weight loss program.

Every selfie you take be it of your waist or your whole body or even muscles on your arm and chest area allows you to be accountable to what you are doing. As said earlier, a selfie is a picture therefore, it speaks a thousand words all by itself.

Storing your picture in your computer, in your smart device and on your online cloud account will not only ensure that you have a record of the past you, but it will help you to be accountable of your lifestyle.

Are gym selfies hurtful? 
Fitspiration shares traits with thinspiration
Thinspiration is a negative trend where people motivate each other to lead a life of being thin. This has been found to lead to disorders like anorexia. Fitspiration has been found to promote thinspiration, especially on social media platforms. Therefore, it could lead to a dangerous trend.
This can result in psychological distress in someone else especially if they choose to follow you on social media platform.

Final thoughts 
Losing weight is a great strategy to ensure that you are able to lead a health life. Taking selfies is not only a motivational tool, but it allows you to be accountable of your lifestyle as well as helping to inspire others who follow you on social media.

How Does Acne Treatment Affect People of Color?


Acne is a condition that is characterized by inflamed pimples on the face. It is triggered by excess oil production in the skin. Acne affects all people irrespective of race or ethnicity. However, when it comes to treatment, people with darker skin tones have it hard. They suffer from numerous side effects which are rare in people with light skin tones. These side effects make the healing process a bit hard for people of color.

Acne Treatments and Side Effects
The treatment for acne used is the same for all people worldwide. The only difference is that people of color will experience side effects while the rest won't. Some of the side effects that people with dark skin tones experience include:

1. Dryness
Some of the areas where the treatment is applied may become dry. When this happens, the area may become lighter or darker than it was before. This will especially happen when you are using a drying acne medication. To counter this, ensure that you use a moisturizer often and cut back on how often you use the treatment.

2. Irritation
Some people will experience irritation on the skin. Some ingredients found in acne treatment, such as retinoid, may cause irritation if used in excess. If this is the case, discontinue the use and seek the services of a dermatologist. He/ she will recommend other better alternative.

3. Dark Spots
Although it is not a permanent condition, some people darker complexions may get dark spots as they use acne treatment. Skin discoloration may also result.

According to Dr. Joyce M Teng, an assistant professor of dermatology at the School of Medicine and Public Health at the University of Wisconsin, anxiety prior to the use of a treatment and excessive usage may trigger most of these side effects. Some of the products used will take time before they deliver. Give the treatment two to three months before you declare it unsuccessful.

Ways to Manage the Side Effects
 To treat acne effectively, you will need to stick to the acne treatment. Since the side effects will still be there, you may use the methods below to manage them.

1. Slather you skin on a good moisturizer 
As we have seen, one of the side effects of acne treatment is a drying effect. To curb this, you will need to use a moisturizer daily. If you have an oily skin, go for a moisturizer that is oil free. This will keep your skin moist and at the same time avoid the introduction of additional oil. Remember that what causes acne is excess oil production. If you introduce too much oil, then the condition may aggravate. The moisturizer will also help in reducing the irritation.

2. Clean the pores
Clogged pores worsen acne. As you shop for treatment, look for those products that have a non-comedogenic label on them. Such products will not clog your pores. Even the moisturizer you use should have a similar label.

3. Use a Foundation
A good foundation will be used to cover the scars and pimples. In addition, you will conceal skin discoloration that may have resulted. Look for one that offers extra coverage.

4. Use Azelaic Acid
Azelaic acid is a prescription topical used to lighten up dark spots. Post Inflammatory Hyper �pigmentation (dark spots/ patches) that majorly affect people with dark colors, will get reduce by azelaic acid in no time.

5. Have  A Chemical Peel
This option will work for people who want to speed up the healing process and at the same time minimize the side effects of the treatment. According to Dr. Teng, a light chemical peel should be performed every three to four weeks to make the treatment effective. You will notice great improvement in no time and you won�t need to use the treatment for long. If you are considering this option, work with a professional dermatologist who will help you through the process.

Important to note is that scarring will be experienced during the treatment. The scars will be much darker in people of color than for the rest. Work with a dermatologist who will recommend some prescription treatment to bring down the scarring. Don�t forget to stick to your skin regime and don�t be in a rush to try different treatment options.

Conclusion
Although acne treatment is the same for all people, it will have side effects on people of color. This may discourage them from using the treatment. Since acne won�t go away without treatment, there is thus need to adopt counter measures to reduce the intensity of these side effects. The methods stipulated above will help you through. Also, note that acne can be triggered by a number of conditions. To improve the treatment process, have the underlying condition(s) treated.

Eye Creams: The Dos and Don�ts That You Must Know


Your eyes form a very important part of your body. This is why you should always endeavor to be on top of your eye care routines in order to keep them fully functional. In addition, you should also ensure that the area surrounding them is equally in good shape if not better. This is because even if you have a 20/20 vision, no cataracts and definitely no macular degeneration, the area under your eyes can still paint you as unhealthy, tired or aged. Now, am sure you do not want to walk around looking like you are 95, hanged up and sickly, well at least not when you are going to show your face to the world. This is why you should invest in a good eye cream.

What is an eye cream?
These are beauty products that are specially made to eradicate the dryness, darkening, puffiness and wrinkling of the areas under your eyes. Now, this is one part that is easily prone to darkening and swelling and hence requires special attention as it functions as your front office. What did they tell you about first impressions?

However, before going out to purchase that heavenly eye cream, it is important to get acquainted with its dos and don�ts. This will help ensure that you get nothing but the very best out of the eye cream.
Let us start with what you should do

1.    Apply it gently
Unlike other parts of the face, this part is particularly susceptible to wrinkling. This is why you should softly massage the eye cream in order to avoid any pulling of the skin. This is because tugging will loosen the skin hence increasing the chance of wrinkles appearing.

2.    Give it time to sink in before you apply makeup
Now because you apply the eye cream before make up, it is prudent to let it first get absorbed in order to ensure your make up is all smooth. If the cream is not properly absorbed, you may end up with small heaps of the powder or concealer. Therefore, for it not to interfere with you makeup, it is important to first allow it to sink in.

3.    Refrigerate them for puffiness relief
At one point, you will wake up with swollen eyes. Either because you didn�t sleep well or you had taken one on the road the previous night. Now, with work or school just minutes away, you will have to get an instant solution. The good thing is that you can apply an eye cream that has been refrigerated to get those blood vessels back their original size and position in order to kill the puffiness.

Now that you are well versed with how to should choose eye creams for proper eye care let us now sink your teeth into the lines you should not cross.

1.    Never apply it with force
In the application of the cream, you should not be under whatever circumstance tug the skin. This is because this tugging and pulling can culminate in the formation of wrinkles. Aren�t you trying to get rid of wrinkles and other problems? So don�t make the situation worse: be gentle.

2.    Don�t apply heaps upon heaps
For some reason, you may be tempted to think that the cream�s effectiveness will be determined by the amount you use i.e. the more, the better. Nothing could be further from the truth. If anything, applying lots of it will only increase the risk of your eyes getting irritated. This is because the extra cream can easily creep into the eyes and cause irritation. Therefore, as tempting as it might be, use only a little cream.

3.    Don�t apply fragranced eye creams if your eyes are sensitive
According to research, the fragranced eye creams are more likely to cause eye irritation than their scent free counterparts. This is why you should try to go for the ones without fragrances in order to avert the risk of irritation.

Conclusion
When it comes to beauty and enhancing appearances, the eyes and areas surrounding them are overly important. This is because you do not want to turn up for a class, job or worse still an interview with puffy eyes and 100-kilogram eye bags in tow. I mean, how would people perceive you? This is why you should incorporate eye creams in your eye care routines in order to ensure that the area around your eyes is always on point. After purchasing the product, it is important to know what to do and what not to. It is in this regard that the points discussed above have been crafted: to enlighten you on how you should use eye creams for best results.
