(Foreword: This is our continuation of our response to the letter of Nympha of Ma a regarding her desire for natural remedies for puffy eyes and dark circles.)
DEAR Nympha of Ma a,
Puffy eyes and dark circles are never really one of those things that people want to see, nor you want to see for yourself. Now, here are the last moves that you can do for those problematic puffy eyes and dark circles.
7. Chill those eye drops
I know this is one of those unlikely things to do. But, you can try it. If you think, you love it, then, go for it. But, if this is not your cup of tea, then, stop this. My friend loves this. Get a natural eye drops and put them inside the refrigerator. Be sure not to freeze this or else, you only have yourself to blame for your carelessness. Now, when those natural eye drops are chilled, treat each of your eye with this. My friend swears that it is really refreshing and seems like it would energize her day. One day, I’ll try this and hope this will work with me too.
8. Try some eye therapy patches
I found some eye therapy patches when I went to Binondo to get some supplies for my derma clinic. I tried them out of my curiosity and I am amazed they really work. These eye therapy patches are laced with natural oils that would hydrate your eye area.
I believe that one of the best ways to get rid of those puffy eyes and dark circles is to sleep well. So, don’t indulge too much coffee before going to bed. Sleeping well relaxes you, recharges you and ultimately, gives you a good aura. A good night’s sleep can give you not just health but, beauty as well. Remember that if you deprive yourself of a good sleep, then, viola, you are in for some puffy eyes in the morning after. Sleeping too much too won’t help you as well. You can also have puffy eyes the morning after if you will over sleep. So, the moral of the story is: Do things in moderation. Don’t overdo things, nor underdo things. Overdoing things will toast you, while underdoing things will not likely qualify you to get to the next level. So, sleep well my dear and free yourself from unnecessary stress.
Well, I hope this helps! Good luck!
