Using a cold compress for 10 - 15 minutes, one to two times daily, will help get rid of the bags under your eyes for a short period. Many �how to� sites recommend cucumber slices or refrigerated spoons. It is the cold that reduces swelling, so why put good produce on your face? This treatment won�t get rid of your under eye bags completely, and it will only work for a few hours; however, keeping the swelling down consistently will slow down the development of larger bags under your eyes � it will lessen the stress and stretching your skin endures each day.
Out of all the bizarre folk remedies, application of frozen or chilled green tea bags may be one of the few that can actually get rid of bags under eyes. Most people apply them directly to the under eye bags for 10 � 15 minutes on a daily basis. Green tea bags work because they contain a natural anti-inflammatory called EGCG. As with a cold compress, this remedy will only get rid of bags under your eyes for a short period, but the relief will make a difference over time, slowing down under eye bag development.
You may need to address your water retention to get rid of the bags under your eyes. Depending on genetics and anatomical features, individuals store excess fluids at different places throughout the body; for some, excess fluid pools beneath the eye lid, causing under eye bags. To combat water retention, you�ll need to reduce your sodium intake, drink plenty of water (dehydration causes water retention), get adequate exercise, avoid alcohol and severe diuretics, and eat a balanced diet. If you are suffering from water retention due to PMS, eating frequent small meals and taking Pamprin can help.
Whitening The Skin:
Dry orange peels in sun. When they are fully dried, grind them in a mixture and make powder. Add raw milk to it, make a paste and apply it on your skin everyday. Rinse it off with lukewarm water when dries. It's tested pack for skin whitening.
Take sandalwood powder, add lemon juice, tomato juice, cucumber juice to it, make a paste and apply on the skin till it dries to get a brighter, lighter and even skin tone.
Gram flour has whitening agents to it. Take 2 spoonfuls of gram flour; add a pinch of turmeric to it, few drops of lemon juice and few drops of milk cream. Make it a paste and apply on the skin. When it dries scrub it off. It can be applied all over the body everyday.
Soak almonds in water overnight. Peel them off in the morning. Make a paste and add honey to it. Apply it on face and scrub it off when dries to make skin whiter and glowing.
Potatoes have bleaching agents in them their juice is quite helpful in giving an even skin tone. Reduce pigmentation and blemishes. It can be applied on the skin everyday to get it whiter.
Hope this helps!! Good luck xx
In reply to your comment from my feedback try sticking to one first and see what happens because for a remedy to work you normally have to use it for a few days to start to see any effect. So if it doesn't work you can then try a different one or which ever one you prefer to use, Hope this helps :) xx [ AskSinz's advice column | Ask AskSinz A Question ]
