Tips to effectively remove dark circles

How to remove dark circles is a little secret that every girl who stays up late wants to know. However, there are many reasons for dark circles. Some are caused by too little sleep. Some are caused by melanin deposition due to incomplete removal of eye makeup after daily life. Some are due to genetic reasons. So, we can provide several tips for removing dark circles for different groups of people for your reference.

How to improve dark circles

1. Maintaining adequate sleep and correct supine sleeping posture is better than various care methods.

2. Correct bad eating habits, avoid consuming overly salty and irritating foods, and avoid smoking and drinking too much.

3. Treat existing chronic diseases in a timely manner, strengthen nutrition, and appropriately supplement vitamins C, A, and E.

4. Acupoint massage: Dark circles are caused by poor blood circulation. Acupoint massage helps to open up blood vessels. Apply eye massage cream or eye nourishing cream on the skin around the eyes. Use your ring finger to press Tongziliao (at the end of the eye), posterior eyeball (1/3 of the middle and outer part of the lower eye socket), Sibai (1/3 of the middle and inner part of the lower eye socket), Jingming (upper inner part of the inner canthus), Yuyao (center of the eyebrow), and Yingxiang (outer side of the nose). Press each acupoint for 3-5 seconds and then relax. Do this 10 times in a row. Use your middle finger and ring finger (middle finger on the upper eyelid, ring finger on the lower eyelid) to gently pull and massage from the inner canthus to the outer canthus, for 10 consecutive times. Use the tips of your index, middle and ring fingers to lightly tap around your eyes, 3-5 times.

5. Gentle hot compress: Hot compress helps promote blood circulation. Soak a soft cotton towel in warm water, wring it dry, and place it on the upper eyelid. Repeat 2-3 times. The water temperature should not be too hot because the eyelid skin is very thin. Overheating will cause the skin to become loose and wrinkled.

6. Remove makeup thoroughly: If you wear makeup frequently, you must use a liquid lotion specially for the eyes to remove the makeup, especially the eyeliner and eyelashes. Do not let the pigment of the makeup penetrate and accumulate in the eyelids, otherwise the eyes will look like they are tied with a black circle. You should usually use special eye cosmetics, which cannot be replaced by facial cosmetics.
