Brilio.net - Dark eye bags or dark circles under the eyes are a fairly common aesthetic problem experienced by many people, both men and women. This condition is usually characterized by changes in skin color around the eyes that become darker than other areas of the face. Although not medically dangerous, dark eye bags are often considered to interfere with appearance because they give the impression of tiredness, stress, or lack of sleep.
The causes of dark eye bags can vary widely, from genetic factors, lack of sleep, stress, unhealthy lifestyles, to excessive sun exposure. In addition, aging can also trigger the formation of dark circles because the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and the blood vessels underneath are more visible. Allergies, dehydration, and excessive consumption of alcohol or caffeine also contribute to worsening this condition.
To reduce dark eye bags , several treatment steps can be done. One of the most common ways is to compress it using cucumber slices. But do you know? There are other ingredients that are no less powerful than cucumbers.
Well, the ingredient in question is potatoes. This type of tuber has been used by the Instagram account owner @official_rgmakeover. Through one of the videos uploaded, he admitted that potatoes are very effective in dealing with eye bags.

Potatoes are known to be effective in helping reduce eye bags because of the natural ingredients in them which are anti-inflammatory and brightening. Potatoes contain enzymes, vitamin C and starch which can help calm inflammation and reduce swelling in the area around the eyes. Additionally, the mild astringent properties of potatoes can also help firm the skin and reduce the appearance of dark circles.
When cold raw potato slices are placed on the eyes, the cooling effect helps to constrict blood vessels and reduce puffiness, while the active ingredients work to nourish the skin. Regular use of potato masks or fresh potato slices is believed to be able to refresh the appearance of the eyes and make the under-eye area look brighter and fresher naturally.
In addition to the above method, you can also apply potatoes as done by Instagram user @official_rgmakeover. To find out more, check out the review that briliobeauty.net has collected from the account on Thursday (5/6).
