I have the worst dark circles but have conquered them with a 5p trick & you don’t even need to go to the shop
A BEAUTY enthusiast has shared how she banishes dark circles around the eye area with an easy homemade 5p method.
As well as genetics, one of the most common causes for dark under-eyes is lack of sleep – this, one whizz, Dr. Mary Sommerlad, explained is because not resting enough makes your skin paler, “meaning dark tissues and blood vessels beneath your skin show more easily”.
Luckily, whilst there are numerous products in the beauty industry that claim to tackle this issue, one woman has come to rescue with an easy hack.
The best part? Not only does it work wonders but you also won’t need to dash to the nearest shop, as all the key ingredients are already sitting in your kitchen.
According to Dani Cole, the answer to brighter eyes is simple – a homemade mixture consisting of common cupboard essentials, including coffee.
Taking to TikTok, the stunner demonstrated how she made the cheap scrub-like remedy – the first step was adding a teaspoon of ground coffee to a bowl, which is then followed with the same amount of liquid honey.
For those allergic to honey, the guru said to swap this with probiotic yogurt instead.
To make it easier to apply, Dani also chucked in a little water and gave the mix a good stir to combine the ingredients.
Then simply put it under your eyes and let it work its magic – according to fellow beauty fanatics, the mask should be left on for around ten to 15 minutes.
”I make a new one each time and I do it 1-2 times a week,” Dani added in the comments.
Not only is this method said to help with the appearance of dark circles, many claim they’ve also noticed a huge difference with puffiness around the delicate area.
One expert in the field, Dr Bangia, explained: “Poor circulation is the primary cause of under eye dark circles and puffiness.
”Coffee, on the other hand, may be beneficial in removing dark circles because it improves blood circulation,” she told Health Shots.
What’s more, the popular commodity is also anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants, which is fantastic for reducing the damage caused by lack of sleep.
Additionally, the whizz noted, caffeine has the ability to absorb accumulated water in your body and it’s believed to be extremely effective in reducing puffiness and swelling, especially around the eyes.
Fellow beauty enthusiasts raced to comments of the video, which has won more than 1.5million views in just one day.
One person claimed: ”you can use it for your full face. my Moroccan mom taught me this mask since j [I] was little.”
Someone else said: ”Thanks for the tips pretty.”
”Just use the ordinary caffeine eye serum,” another advised.
