Sleep Too Much – 9 Practical tips for eliminating dark, under-eye circles

Getting great night sleep is important but not always possible. Recent surveys suggest as many as 45% don’t get adequate sleep each evening. The reasons are as varied as the individuals. They include worry/stress/anxiety, studies, parenthood, jobs, insomnia and countless others.

Sleep too much ends up giving you the panda look due to poor sleep quality. But you can still look your best if you try one of the many tips that follow and see if you don’t look like you’ve been cuddling with the sandman instead of burning the midnight oil.

Topical Tips:

1. Try a light application of almond oil before retiring. Be careful not to stretch or pull the skin. Eyelids and the under eye area need gentle, delicate treatment to look their best.

2. Lie down with your feet elevated. Apply a cotton ball moistened with rosewater or cold milk and leave in place for about ten minutes.

3. Purchase an over the counter eye gel remedy. There are a number of great products on the market, most $10 and under. Look for products with soothing botanicals such as chamomile. Again, remember to apply gently without stretching the skin.

4. Buy an eye mask – if you don’t have one use a cool cloth. Keep this on your eyes for about five minutes. This strategy will help constrict blood vessels under the eyes as well as eliminate some of the darkness.

5. Apply a quality moisturizer to the under eye area before you shower. Your skin will drink in the moisture and the appearance of lines and circles will be minimized. Gently remove the moisturizer with a damp cloth after your shower.

6. Opt for regular application of Vitamin K cream, which is thought to reduce pigment, and thus dark coloring, around the eyes.

7. Keep a collagen boosting, anti-aging remedy such as alpha-hydroxy acids around to plump up your eyes helping them look younger and more rested.

8. Try Preparation H (believe it or not!) for a quick fix, eye energizer.

9. Lie with your feet elevated. Place cool tea bags over your eyes for about 5 minutes. You can also try this remedy with cool cucumbers.
