There is not one individual person who enjoys having to endure puffy or raccoon looking eyes staring back at them in the mirror, as soon as they wake up in the morning.
Well, not unless you are Rocky the Flying Squirrel! And no, not even applying the extra make-up to banish them will help your morning routine.
Do you have an extra twenty minutes to add your day? Of course not.
So instead, why not follow these few simple steps and you can stay raccoon-free from now on? Since circulation around the eyes will have the most dramatic effect, that's where we start.
Exfoliate the Raccoon Away The skin is the answer to your dilemma.
The skin around your eyes is probably the thinnest on your body.
Wash this part of your skin until it is very clean and wipe away the clutter that has appeared due to broken capillaries and blood in that region on your face.
You should also moisturize your skin often, especially after washing and before you apply make up.
Finally, use sunscreen when showing off those lovely eyes.
Protection from the sun is vital in order to maintain softer and smoother looking eyes.
All these will help your eyes stay in much better shape.
Another Reason to Love the Spa As if you needed another reason, the spa can help clean the skin around your eyes, removing crow's feet, dark circles, puffy eyes and bags underneath the eyes.
Alas, spa treatments are expensive.
Your wallet may not like this idea as much as your eyes.
Weekly visits are great, but an eye cream at night prior to bedtime may also work for you and keep some extra cash where you can use it.
When You Can't Go to the Spa Bring the spa to you.
An even more effective and more realistic alternative is eye cream.
It can also travel with you, when you visit mom or take that business trip to somewhere hot and sunny.
Collagen-boosting ingredients promote tissue growth around the eye and improve circulation.
The penetrating moisturizers can start working within the first month of usage.
For less than the cost of one spa visit, you can provide a month of treatment.
With such easy and cost-effective solutions, you will love the skin you are in, even at the worst time in the mornings.
Now, the only thing you have to be miserable about in the morning is that awful commute to work and being stuck in traffic.
Keep your eyes healthy and you'll have one more reason to stare back in the mirror on those morning drives.
