Banish under-eye circles with easy homemade solutions: No expensive cosmetics needed

I'm sure we've all stared into the mirror at breakfast time and wondered how to get rid of those pesky dark circles beneath our eyes. The good news is, they're not difficult or expensive to get rid of. Dark circles are simply built-up lymph which causes unsightly purplish pouches to form beneath the eyes. Their appearance is down to a variety of factors, and genetics are not always to blame - our lifestyle and the stress we encounter also play a part. So, how can we tackle these under-eye circles?

Seeing dark circles under your eyes can be really disheartening, and it's easy to understand why. They can really detract from your natural attractiveness, making you look older and weary. Some people resort to cold spoons or pricey treatments that only offer a temporary fix. However, these solutions aren't necessarily the best route to take - even those on offer in beauty salons. It's far more beneficial to try and deal with under-eye circles yourself using a simple, yet incredibly effective method.

The method requires items that you can find around your home and won't cost a single penny! It's a brilliant alternative to high-street cosmetic products, not only is it economical, but also ecological. Our homemade remedy for under-eye bags doesn't contain any unnecessary chemicals. Just two ingredients, a fridge, and 20 minutes of your time is all it takes to make those dark circles vanish, restoring your youthful appearance.

It's common knowledge that a morning cup of coffee can perk us up, and the same concept applies to under-eye bags. The gentle skin in this area responds very well to caffeine, which enhances blood flow and eradicates dark circles. You'll just need to brew a little extra in the morning. Wait for the coffee to cool before soaking a halved cosmetic pad in it. Let it sit for a while before popping the bowl into the fridge. After 20 minutes, simply apply the cooled pads to your skin and let the coffee do its magic.

Green tea blended with coconut oil also does wonders for getting rid of under-eye circles. This unique combination quickly rejuvenates puffy skin without breaking the bank. To create the blend, you'll need 2 tablespoons of chilled tea and 4 drops of coconut oil. Follow the previous method by soaking cosmetic pads in the mixture. Storing this solution in the fridge will have it working even faster and more effectively. Regularly applying the treatment to your under-eye bags should greatly reduce their appearance.
