Various factors such as lack of sleep, stress, aging, and dehydration contribute to the appearance of dark circles.
For those grappling with persistent dark circles, a do-it-yourself (DIY) remedy involving a homemade under-eye mask could be a solution. According to India Today, this remedy includes coffee as its central ingredient, along with three additional components to create an effective solution.
The ingredients for this homemade under-eye mask are easy to understand – 1 teaspoon of coffee, 1/4 cup of warm water, 5-7 ice cubes, and 2 cotton pads.
To prepare the mask, add coffee to a clean bowl, and pour warm water on it to let the coffee brew. Then use ice cubes to cool down the coffee mix.
Use scissors to cut a cotton pad into a U-shape, tailored to cover the under-eye area effectively. Mix the cotton pads in the coffee mix, gently squeeze the liquid out, and then place the pads under the eyes for 15-minute.
For potential effectiveness, the under-eye mask can be applied daily. Results are not immediate, as it is a gradual process, but the remedy may contribute to addressing dark circles over time.
Coffee, known for its antioxidant properties, holds potential benefits for the skin. While not promising overnight results, the gradual application of this DIY mask may work to alleviate dark circles. Additionally, coffee is recognized for its potential assistance with puffy eyes, anti-aging properties, and the enhancement of blood circulation.
