TREND ALERT Under-eye circles and sagging affects nearly every man and woman in India. Imperfections around the eye are very upsetting, because even a little discolouration can make you look like you have aged overnight. And, for those of us who are more sensitive, even one night without sleep can make those circles deepen.
But, what causes under eye circles? The genetic anatomic component comes first. Many people have deep set eyes. Because of this, shadows form under the eyes due to the way the light hits a concave area. Next is pigmentation — some people have naturally darker eye sockets. The third component is poor blood circulation, causing the area to appear puffy. The final cause is aging. As we age, our collagen weakens. We also start producing less collagen. This ultimately causes our skin to sag. Unfortunately, there is no cream that can solve all these issues.
Luckily, a new treatment called Under Eye Rescue has emerged. This under-eye erasing treatment combines the collagen boosting effects of radio frequency with anti-pigmentation actives for a treatment that affects all the factors that cause under eye circles. Radiofrequency using US FDA approved Accent Ultra is used. Its rapid collagen stimulator will strengthen your under eye skin, thereby causing it to permanently tighten. And, it has an added benefit of improving lymphatic flow, so that weak circulation is also improved. For discoloration, anti-pigmentation treatments are added along with the Accent Ultra. The results are noticeable even after a single sitting, and by six sittings the they are permanent.
Mix half a cup of almond or olive oil, a quarter cup coconut oil, a tbsp beeswax and two tbsp cocoa butter in a glass jar. Heat a wok of water up to boiling point and place the jar in the water. Stir the
ingredients in it lightly. When all the ingredients have completely melted, lift the jar and allow the lotion to cool. Apply whenever required and
store in a dry place. — The writer is an international
