Fight the pockets
Unsightly, bags under the eyes are accentuated with fatigue, stress and time. Where do they come from? In fact, the eye rests on a cushion formed of small platoons of fat, separated by connective tissue septa permanently solicited by the muscles of the eye. In some cases, this fat causes a micro hernia called "pocket" (located at the lower eyelids). Poor lymphatic circulation caused by fatigue and / or aging can also be the cause of pockets that deflate gradually after waking.
To erase the pockets, we can act on the tonicity of the eye contour with anti-loosening careand a healthy lifestyle. Nothing beats a good night's sleep! Food is also important. Alcohol, the consumption of too salty foods can indeed accentuate the phenomenon of water retention. To counteract this, be sure to hydrate yourself and consume foods that are rich in water.

Act against dark circles
Giving a sad look, dark circles are often hereditary. Accented by stress and fatigue, they first appear at the corner of the eye before spreading on the outline. The cause ? A change in the tone of the lymphatic channels and a venous circulation thwarted. The blood pigments do not pass well into the vessels, they accumulate in the connective tissue and give the skin a particular color. Between yellow, blue and dark, it's the ring !
To soften them, choose targeted, anti-inflammatory, vein-toned treatments. Extreme cases will opt in addition, for a trompe l'oeil make-up. If you prefer more natural tricks, cold cucumber slices on the eyes are quite effective (leave to rest for 30 minutes). If you do not have cucumber on hand, you can also use spoons previously placed in the fridge.
