Get Away Dark Circles!

Posted in Beauty, Girl Talk, Health, Diet & Fitness | 2 comments

Yes! I know I blog without obligation but sometimes when I leave things a bit unattended for awhile, I feel a bit guilty.  I feel like I left my baby… hahaha yeah that’s true.  Anyway, I was running out of creative juices the past two weeks and was so busy attending to other projects online and offline.

I also had a much needed vacation coz like my husband said, I needed it. I literally have dark circles under my eyes. Lol! And its driving me insane I dunno how to remove it. Some suggests I should go for a regular facial mask treatment, some suggest I put some cucumber, some insists I sleep more. Gah! Is there some sort of treatment for this? I might dash for a quick easy personal loan if this treatment is expensive but what the heck!

Anyway, now I sleep early 10 pm being the latest but for some reason I still have dark circles. I don’t any pressing problems, I don’t stress too much so I dunno what to do. Maybe I should just lay and do some more relaxing. Any tips from you dear readers? I’m nearly desperate here and hubby keeps teasing me that this is a sure sign of aging. He might be telling the truth?! hahahaha!

Anyway, I was searching for good tips on getting rid of dark eye circles and this article on WikiHow deserves mention. It’s useful, concise and filled with tips. Hope it’ll work for me.

Detoxify Your Facial Skin with Facial Steaming

Facial steaming offers a whole lot of benefits for your skin. It’s the best way to deep cleanse your pores, and therefore helping you get rid of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and other facial skin impurities.

The steam opens up your pores and loosens clogged dirt, makeup residues, impurities and also dead skin cells. It’s a great way for your body to release toxins which cannot be otherwise be removed by other cleansing methods. For those with oily skin, steaming can be done every other day while those with dry skin should do this at least once a week.

Facial steaming can easily be done at home. You can use what you have at home or if you have it you can also use a facial sauna gadget.

Here’s some tips:

• Cleanse your face thoroughly first by washing with warm water and a mild soap
• Boil a pot of water and add a few slices of lemon or some herbs. For oily skin you can try adding some lemon, peppermint or thyme. For sensitive skin use chamomile or lime. Those with normal skin can use rose, rosemary or lavender.
• Place hot water in a bowl and drape a towel over your head, making a ‘tent’ around the bowl.  Stand in front of the steam and let the steam go directly to your face. Do keep your mouth and eyes closed to avoid irritation.
• Steam your face for 15-20 minutes but not more than 20 minutes.  If you have ultra sensitive skin then 10-15 minutes would do.
• Once you’re done, rinse your face with warm water and pat gently to dry with a towle
• After steaming, it would be the best time to apply a facial mask, since your skin proes are open and could absorb more.

Personally, this has been very effective for me in removing whiteheads and blackheads. And I do love that feeling of softness and freshness after steaming my face.

Here’s some facial sauna items I found in Amazon.com…
