For years I have suffered from dark under eye circles, puffy eyes, and dry skin under that gentle area. I searched for a solution that was not only convenient and inexpensive but one that would hydrate my under eye area with no irritation.
My solution..was a very natural eye cream that consisted of evening primrose oil and topical vitamin E. But I could not just stop there. I need to work my way from the inside, my solution was vitamin K. Now there is also the puffiness. For days where my eyes appear to have two little footballs under that gentle area I use frozen cucumbers, and black tea bags and even two frozen spoons.To begin, water is essential. the more you hydrate the better for your skin, the less dark under eyes you will have. Now to fully treat that under eye darkness, try taking vitamin K. Vitamin K alone won't do the trick, instead Vitamin K works great with Vitamin E. So I would recommend a mixture of the two.
I find that Vitamin E topically works best for me. Not only does it hydrate my under eye area but it also smooths out all the little fine lines where concelor would normally crease. I decided to make my own eye cream. Not only because prices for a good eye cream can over $200 dollars, but also the less chemicals I can apply to my skin the better for me.
For my eye cream I use about 7-8 Evening primrose capsules and about 5-6 drops of Vitamin E into a small container. You can lightly dab this onto the under eye area and let your skin soak up the oil. This mixture will last me about a month or so and its what I use everyday after washing my face to hydrate the under eye area and I have noticed that there is less creasing with any under eye makeup that I apply on top. As well as every night before I go to sleep to maintain that hydration. I have been using this for the past five months I have not had any breakout. Any dryness and much less any irritation.
Now a quick remedy for puffiness under the eye is to always have some frozen cucumbers around. If thats too much of a hassle early in the morning try freezing two spoons, and apply them on the puffed area for about 10-15 minutes and continue getting ready. For me this helps give me the appearance of more woken up eye. Now if you want something that is a little bit more old school you'll need two black teabags. Soak them in hot water for about a minute gently dry them and place them onto the under eye. B careful you don't want tea in your eyes s try having a small towel near you.
