What causes puffy eyes and dark circles under eyes? Whether the cause is a few long days or too many restless nights, dark circles and puffy eyes can leave you looking and feeling like you’re in a slump. Many times the skin underneath our eyes appears darker just because it is dehydrated.
There is an easy and effective way to unpack those under eye bags and prevent eye puffiness and dark circles around them. An eye serum for dark circles and puffy eyes requires only 3 ingredients.
The star ingredient in this eye serum is coffee. Coffee is rich in caffeine. Caffeine has been known to reduce dark circles, wrinkles and puffy under eyes by stimulating the circulation of blood. Coffee effectively maintains the balance of water content around eyes and thus reduces puffiness. It also has antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties, so it helps to keep skin around your eyes smooth, bright and plump.
Sweet almond oil is a natural skin brightener and moisturizer. It helps to nourish and moisturize the delicate skin around your eyes. Sweet almond oil is also loaded with vitamins E and A that help to slow down the UV skin damage.
