Winter Skin Care Tips
                                                                    Dark Circles  

  Occasionally, I notice I get dark circles under my eyes. I was told by a make-up artist that quite a few people deal with this and it can be caused by stress, sleeplessness or just persistent dark circles from thin skin under the eye. I don’t have a bad case of them but it will flare up every now and then.

   One thing I’ve used and noticed a difference with is
Sweet Almond Oil. I’m not very consistent in applying it, but whenever I feel like my skin needs a pick-me-up, I’ll wash and apply Almond oil gently under and around my eyes using my ring finger in a gentle pat/massage motion. I stress gentle because the skin around the eyes is very delicate so extreme care should be taken when applying anything.

   I also make sure to massage some into the area where crow’s feet like to show and on the lid. This will help keep the area moisturized, and I’m hoping help prevent or at least keep the wrinkles mild when they do start to appear!

   After a few applications, I have noticed my eyes seem brighter. Sometimes I will also take a little bit and massage into my face which has given it a glowing appearance that makes me feel so good!
