Human beings are flawed. Although we know that we would like to be healthier, that chocolate cookie looks delicious. Although we know that we need to get up earlier, there is only one episode of the Netflix series we are currently watching. Although we know that sunblock should be applied daily, we forget to take the sunscreen with us to the beach. 

That's life. However, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have some best practices and habits to help mitigate the inevitable consequences of a well-lived life. There are many ways to combat the signs of aging, including tips and tricks for every night spent chatting with friends, every day spent in the sun, and every night that we didn't feel the need to apply eye cream. We at Cheryls have a highly experienced team of beauticians for salon services at home that help you get rid of puffiness around your eyes.

Even if you spend your entire life caring for your skin, you will eventually start to notice signs of aging. This includes dark circles and under-eye bags. 

Skin naturally loses collagen over time and becomes thinner. This means that veins around the eyes will eventually show through thin skin. The sun accelerates the process of collagen breakdown, so avoiding under-eye circles is best. 

However, the best habits can't change your genes. The biggest factor in determining the type of skin we'll have and how we'll age is genetics. Because blood pooling under the eyes is more visible in those with lighter skin, people who inherit fair skin or thin skin are more likely to have under-eye circles. 

As blood builds up, the delicate capillaries of your body begin to strain and stretch under the weight. This leads to more blood pooling and leaking, and eventually, darker under-eye circles. 

Others, however, have dark undereye circles and bags that are not caused by aging, sunbathing, or genetics. Sometimes, it is simply a matter of allergies. Allergies that occur all year, such as those to mold or dust, and seasonal allergies, like the ones we experience in spring, trigger the release histamines which causes an inflammatory response. This causes blood vessels to swell and become inflamed, even under our eyes. Cheryls beauticians have the skills and resources to help you get rid of this problem.

Apply a cold compress to the area for 10 minutes in the morning, evening, or both. This is the easiest way to reduce dark circles. Make sure you keep your mask clean and give it an occasional soapy scrub. 

Cucumbers have been used in cold compresses both on TV and in movies. But do they work? 

Cucumbers are skin-lightening, mildly astringent, and can be used to naturally fix raccoon eyes. 

This method can be used twice daily. First, cut a cucumber into thin slices. Then refrigerate the slices for 30 minutes. Leave the slices on your eye for 10 minutes. After using, rinse your eyes with warm (but still not hot) water. 

You can also mix equal amounts of lemon juice and cucumber slices. Then, apply the mixture to your under-eye circles with a cotton ball. Do not get lemon juice into your eyes! Let the solution sit on your skin for at least 15 minutes, then wash off with warm water. 

Rose water is not only a wonderful smell, but it can also help to soothe and revitalize tired skin. It's mildly astringent like cucumber and can be used as a skin toner. Simply soak the cotton makeup remover pads with rose water for a few moments, then place the makeup pads on your closed eyelids. Allow them to sit for approximately 15 minutes each day. 

Lycopene is a good substance for your eyes, skin, and cardiovascular health. Lycopene is a natural ingredient that can soften and smoothen skin. It also helps reduce the appearance of dark circles under your eyes. 

Mix equal amounts of tomato juice and lemon juice. Apply the mixture to your under-eye area with a cotton ball, or make up remover pad. Please do not get any lemon juice in your eyes. Allow the solution to sit for 10 minutes, then rinse it with warm water twice daily. 

Drinking a tasty combination of lemon juice, tomato juice, and mint leaves daily can also improve your overall health and skin condition. 

Tea bags can be substituted for cold compresses or masks if you don't own one. Green tea, as well as many other teas, has antioxidants that can soothe the under-eye area. 

For cold tea bags, simply soak the tea bags in water for 30 minutes and place them in the fridge. Place the tea bags on your eyes. Allow to sit for 10 minutes, or more, twice daily. Rinse the eyes with warm water.
