Beauty Good enough to eat

Welcome to the first of my series looking at natural beauty and food, my first one is the best natural remedy for dark circles and puffy eyes.

Dark circles is something we all suffer from and can be a sign of tiredness, dehydration,

stress, low immune or thank you Mum and Dad can be inherited. The best advise is always enough sleep, plenty of fluid, gently massage an eye cream around the eye, but be careful not to put to close to the eye. The skin in this area is like bloating paper and will block the tear duct if applied too close or too much and will in turn cause puffy eyes.

My food tip for under eye dark circles is soak slices of cucumber in a little lemon juice and lie on the eyes and relax back (don't open your eyes until removed and dry). Of course you can also prepare a few more slices of cucumber and lemon pop into a jug of water and drink for a refreshing detox.

Puffy eyes tend to occur when we wake from sleep and can be for many reasons. Puffy eyes will often start to reduce once we are upright and moving. Be careful of applying eye gels and creams as I mention above, because this can cause puffy eyes.My advice is the same as above, sleep,plenty of fluid.

My Food tip is drink a lovely cup of Green Tea then use two cooled teabags on your eyes.The anti Oxidants from the green tea will help speed up the reduction of puffy eyes.
