Dark shadows under your eyes is such a common problem. It can really dent peoples confidence and can often result in people wearing too much make-up to cover it.
I am a strong believer in beauty is more about what you eat then what you apply to your skin. I know we all want the easy answer – take this one pill or apply this cream, but mostly it’s about how much nutrients our bodies are getting from the foods we eat. I am educating my daughter every day that you need to “eat a rainbow” of coloured vegetables and drink enough water for her body to stay healthy.
- It can often be a sign of low iron in your diet. If you are feeling unusually tired I would recommend booking an appointment with your GP to take a blood test. Iron plays an important part in carrying oxygen around your body hence why you feel tired when you are low on it. I personally do not get on with the tablets GPs often give you, so instead use liquid iron as it’s far gentler on my stomach. It’s very important with skincare to really look at your diet and make sure you are eating a well-balanced diet. Make sure you have protein, carbs and veg in every meal. I take multi-vits as well as a balanced diet and have personally seen a great improvement in my skin’s condition. I would go as far as to say it’s worth booking an appointment with a nutritional adviser.
- Another common cause is dehydration. I would say very few of us actually drink enough drink each day. My tip would be always carrying a water bottle with you. I personally don’t recommend adding lemon or citrus fruits to your water as it messes the ph in your mouth making you prone to tooth decay. It takes the mouth around 20 mins for the ph to re-balance after eating food or drinking citrus drinks.
- Always remove your make-up at night and follow a daily facial routine.
