Brilio.net - Most people have experienced that the skin around their eyes has changed color to dark or black. The condition where the color changes to black is often called panda eyes. Its appearance is quite striking, definitely making you appear insecure. The reason is that panda eyes give a sad and tired look to your face.
The main causes are lack of sleep and stress. Lack of sleep and stress can worsen the appearance of panda eyes. Lack of sleep causes the skin around the eyes to become pale and swollen, making dark circles more prominent. Stress can also increase cortisol production, which can worsen skin conditions.
Not only lack of rest, panda eyes can also occur due to dilated blood vessels around the eyes. This condition causes blood to collect in one spot, causing a visible dark color under the eyes.
The solution to make your eyes look bright again, you need to get enough rest. Get at least seven to eight hours of sleep every night. Getting enough sleep helps the skin renew and regenerate itself. This reduces the possibility of dilated blood vessels and dark circles around the eyes.
If you have implemented the initial steps, carry out routine maintenance. You don't need to use eye serum to get rid of panda eyes. This is because the eye serum is priced at a price that can drain your wallet. Instead, you can make an eye mask made from coffee grounds combined with honey.
Reporting from healthshots.com, Wednesday (10/4) coffee grounds contain powerful antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid, which helps fight free radical damage and stimulates the regeneration of skin cells. The chlorogenic acid content can help reduce signs of aging and brighten the skin around the eyes.
The caffeine content in coffee grounds has vasoconstrictive properties which help constrict the blood vessels around the eyes and reduce swelling. So it can make dark circles around the eyes less visible.
Meanwhile, honey contains enzymes and alpha-hydroxy acids which help exfoliate dead skin layers and brighten skin tone. So it can help reduce dark pigmentation around the eyes. This kitchen ingredient also has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce inflammation and swelling around the eyes, which can make panda eyes look worse. The natural humectant content in honey helps maintain moisture in the skin around the eyes, thereby keeping the skin soft and supple.
