Dark Circles Underneath the Eyes- 101 part 4

Eye rinses: There are hundreds of eye rinses and sprays for tired looking eyes. These solutions are all expensive and a waste of money. Make your own eye rinse by using only warm water. For your sinuses, mix a quarter teaspoon of salt with 2-3 cups of warm water. There are also many sprays available to help clean sinuses.

Cosmetics. Every single day there is a new cosmetic product hyped up to fight dark circles. Most of these are bull crap. These cosmetic products are a waste of time and money. There are lotions with every type of vitamins, mineral, and plant extracts. There are potions and lotions from Dead Sea, Red sea, Orange Sea, Seven Seas, White Sea and even the Sea of Tranquility- best advice is to avoid them. There is also a lot of hype about anti oxidants and extracts of plants, which can be used to treat dark circles- in most cases, these treatments, are scams. If you want to stay healthy, eat the fruit- do not buy a pill made from blueberries.
If you are going to buy a cosmetic product for your dark circles, get one that has a retinoid. There was one study, which claimed that of all cosmetic products, Retinoids work best for dark circles.

Camouflage: Sometimes, the best remedy is to hide the dark circles. There are many camouflage products sold in beauty stores. The best way to know what works for you is go to a store and ask the beautician to apply a sample. Make sure that the product you select is not scented and does not have a lot of synthetic chemicals. Chemicals can worsen dark circles.

Peels: Many beauticians and salons advertise chemical peels for dark circles. This is a definite no-no. Chemical peels around the eye can irreversibly damage your eye and alter vision. Never go for any type of treatment that uses chemicals or any other crap like that near your eyes.
