Seeing such “beauty” in the mirror, a woman instantly remembers all the troubles and disappointments of the previous day, sleepless nights. And it is not surprising, because the result is literally “obvious”. Of course, you can just lament and habitually resort to the help of foundation. However, this will not radically change the situation. Therefore, let's not learn the basics of makeup, but try to get rid of these very ill-fated bruises under the eyes.

However, this is not so - everything is in your hands. We will not tell you trivial things about the fact that problems need to be solved as they arise, without allowing them to accumulate. Surely, if you had such an opportunity, you would do it yourself, right? But, as they say, if you cannot change the situation, change your attitude towards it. First, try to calm down.

As the body ages, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner, blood vessels become more noticeable - as a result, bluish "bags" appear under the eyes. And sometimes this can happen at a younger age, for example, in the case of any hormonal changes in the body. In the first case, you can try to get rid of dark circles on your own, using folk recipes. For example, you can use honey and milk compresses. They are made as follows - melt one tablespoon of honey in a water bath and mix it with three tablespoons of milk.

What to do in this situation? Firstly, do not give up. And secondly, you can resort to specialized cosmetic procedures. Which one is right for you, only a cosmetologist can decide. Therefore, be sure to consult with him. Well, if for some reason you don’t want to use professional services, try the following method of removing these bruises. Place three branches of aloe, from a plant no younger than five years old, in the freezer and leave for a day. On the same day, pour half a glass of boiling water over two tablespoons of oatmeal and leave overnight. Pass the aloe leaves through a meat grinder and squeeze the flakes using gauze. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly – you should get a homogeneous mass. Apply it before going to bed to the previously cleansed skin around the eyes and leave for 30 minutes.
