They say that to know the age of a woman or something, one must look at her eyes. Indeed, the skin of the upper and especially lower eyelids begins to age first - it is very thin and easily covered with wrinkles, darkens and swells.

Puffy and dark circles under the eyes make us look much older than our years. Therefore, women who are approaching their thirtieth birthday or have crossed this line, and are thinking about rejuvenating procedures, usually first of all pay attention to the area of the eyelids.

What causes dark circles?
We must understand and acknowledge the fact that dark circles under the eyes are a natural process of age-related changes. In addition, individual genetic features may be the cause of their early appearance. Contribute to their appearance and adverse environmental effects - the presence of allergens or air pollution. And as tears - yes, tears - a true ticket to swollen and puffy eyelids.

There are many women who believe that the only way to get rid of this problem is cosmetic surgery or expensive creams. This is not true. Although it is impossible to completely say goodbye to bags under the eyes forever, there are several ways that we can use to fight them, or at least to make sure that they do not become worse with time.

One of the methods is to keep your body sufficiently saturated with moisture, drinking the required amount of water and juice every day. 8 glasses or 2 liters of liquid is the recommended standard. Water flushes toxins from our body and naturally moisturizes the skin.

Another important point is you need to get enough sleep. Sleep should be 7-8 hours every day. Sufficient sleep allows the body to recover and starts regeneration processes, which allows the skin to maintain a young look, including the skin of the eyelids.

If you smoke, you should stop this habit. Smoking deprives the body of important trace elements and dehydrates the cells. Suffers not only the skin, the entire body suffers from harmful chemicals contained in the smoke of cigarettes.

Recommendations for dealing with dark circles at home:

• Put on the eye area for fifteen minutes a thin circle of cucumber and let your eyes rest
• Before going to bed put on the eyelids small bags, which before that you need to cool in the freezer.
• Used tea bags are a wonderful tool. Squeezing and chilling, put them on your eyes and take a nap for about fifteen minutes

Of course, dark circles under the eyes are part of the aging process, but do not lie under the knife just to get rid of them.
