Under eye dullness is not a medical condition

Under eye dullness is a concern for women, but these under eye circles are not always due to some medical condition or illness.
Though the primary reasons can vary from stress to lack of sleep, one can also fall prey to wrong skin treatment. Using products that you might think suit you can be working otherwise and can be a reason behind your under eye dullness and dark circles.
So, before rushing to the doctor and bringing back a bagful of medicines to apply and swallow, here are a few tips you can try...
- Before trying any under eye makeup, try the patch test.
- Keep two teaspoons in the refrigerator for two hours. Once they are cold, and use them to cover your eyes. Lie down and relax. This helps in treating tired eyes and under eye dullness.
- Milk cream massage treats dark circles in a very short time. Take a spoonful of milk cream and massage the corners of your eye. Don’t rub them hard.
- Wash your eyes with cold water before going to bed.
