Quick fix: Undereye circles

There are days when you wake up and feel like hell. Immediately, you know that when you look in the mirror, undereye circles will be there. Here’s a quick tip to help cure that tired look and brighten up your eyes:

To lighten dark circles, try the traditional remedy: tea bags. Moisten two chamomile (caffeinated) tea bags and place in the freezer for at least fifteen minutes. Then, place them on your eyes for 15-20 minutes to help reduce puffiness and darkness around your eyes. Why does it work? Chamomile has lightening properties as well as a high percentage of azulene, an extremely soothing essential oil. Plus, the moisture content will hydrate while the caffeine wakes up your skin.

Also, if I haven’t been answering your emails, I promise that I will get to them by the end of next week. Please be patient. It’s a very busy month for me…and next month looks just about the same!
