Dark circles and tanned skin are not major health problems. However, in most cases, they are caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and improper skin care. Dark circles mostly appear due to lack of adequate rest, while the skin gets tanned because of the over exposure to the sun.
The body works round the clock to ensure that we are provided with the energy we require in order to go about our daily chores. The body takes rest by slowing down while we are asleep. Therefore, it is recommended that a person gets at least seven hours of rest per day. When the body is deprived of adequate rest, it reflects in the persons eyes that seem to appear dull and listless. Dark circles are a perfect example of a body that is being over worked or that is rested insufficiently. The following few steps will help you recover form this condition over a period of time.
- Take adequate rest. If you do not sleep for a minimum of 7 hours a day, you will need to start doing so. This will help your body obtain the required amount of rest it requires in order to function normally.
- Reduced amounts of iron and oxygen are another cause of dark circles. Consuming vegetables like boiled lentils, broccoli, peas and fruits like apricots, dates and blackcurrants will help you increase the amount of iron in your body.
- Additionally, you could soak 5 almond seeds in water every night. Peel off the skin in the morning and eat two almonds. The remaining 3 seeds could be ground into a paste by adding 4 teaspoons of milk and a pinch of turmeric powder to it; this should be applied around the eyes topically. The procedure should be completed with a thorough rinse after about 5 to 7 minutes from application.
These simple remedies will help you get rid of your dark circles. However, you will have to be patient, as you will not be able to see the effects overnight.
