Removing eye bags
 

Eye bags are not the best beginning of a day, definitely. If you wake up with eye bags more and more often, it is necessary to start an active struggle against this unattractive cosmetic defect.

What is the reason

But before passing directly to councils, let's understand the reasons. And this unpleasant phenomenon has enough reasons. What can lead to occurrence of eye bags?

First, bad heredity. Between skin of eyelids and hypoderm there is a thin membrane which can be both dense, and thin by nature. Membrane thinning leads to formation of small apertures through which fatty tissue passes. As a result, eye bags are formed.

If as a result of heredity you have thin membrane, this means you have every chance to deal with eye bags in the near future.

Reasons leading to occurrence of eye bags also include, among others lack of sleep, allergy, hormonal changes connected with a woman's monthly cycle, superfluous quantity of water in an organism, stress, bad food and frequent use of alcoholic drinks.

What to do

Take care of skin round eyes every day. For make-up removal it is recommended not to use flavoured clearing means. It is not necessary to rub eyes unduly. If at the first use of cosmetic you notice skin reddening and watering, you should refuse its use.

Every evening apply a humidifying cream or means for skin care in the area of eyes.It is necessary to wash face with cool water in the morning, put ice-cubes to infraorbital area. During summertime it is necessary to use sun-protection means.Also it is necessary to struggle with stress, accept polyvitamins regularly, do eye gymnastics (put hands on temples and try to shift skin by means of mimic muscles back. Exercise should be repeated several times during a day).

The most remarkable means in eye bag struggle is healthy dream, complete rest, moderated water consumption, regular and balanced food, absence of stress (or ability to cope with it!).

If usual folk remedies cannot already help you getting rid of eye bags, there are also surgical ones: blepharoplasty (elimination of skin surpluse in eyelid area and removal of a fatty pillow under eyes), and also application of CO2 laser (smoothes skin round eyes, makes it more elastic).

Irreplaceable recipes

Time passes, medicine progresses, but nothing can replace old grandmother's advice! Let's address to them!

1. Brew a teaspoon of black tea in 1/4 glasses boiled water, leave for 30-40 minutes and filter. The compress is applied for 10 minutes. Put wadded tampons impregnated with tea for 1-2 minutes, changing them 3-4 times. After the procedure termination make a compress of cold water and put a nutritious cream on eyelids.

Daily short-term sponging with ice infusion of sage, camomile or beggar-ticks.

2. Put 1 table spoon of cornflowers in a glass with boiled water, leave for 20 minutes and filter. Put tampons moistened with warm infusion on eyes for 15-20 minutes.

3. Boil a jacket potato . When it becomes warm, knife and put on eyes for 30-40 minutes.

4. Make compresses of sage broth (cold and warm). Fill in a teaspoon of sage leaves with half of glass boiled water. Brew under a lid for 10-15 minutes, filter, half cool, other half warm up. Put wadded tampons, moistened in hot and cold infusion to eyelids by turns. Do this procedure before going to bed, then cream.

Care of yourself, love and feel sorry for yourself - and nothing in your appearance will show signs of weariness.
