Although, this doesn’t get rid of the actual bags, and most times you can still see the outline of them it was the only quick fix I had for the problem.
That was until I read about Rosehip Oil.
What is Rosehip Oil:
Harvested from the seeds of rose bushes predominately grown in Chile, rosehip seed oil is full of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that are known to correct dark spots and hydrate dry, itchy skin, all while reducing scars and fine lines.
What it does:
Rosehip Oil protects the skin and increases cell turnover because it contains vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin D and B-carotene, a form of vitamin A. It’s also rich in essential fatty acids, which convert to prostaglandins (PGE) and are involved in cellular membrane and tissue regeneration.
The recommended eye serum for dark circles and puffiness incorporates lavender oil, and lemon along with Rosehip oil. It uses the combination of these ingredients because for a boost of antioxidants that further aid in the nourishment of skin.The skin around the eyes is very subtle and sensitive, the essential oil will form fat granule and put overload to the skin around eyes.
It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to add to your nightly routine. Simply cleanse your face and remove any makeup and then spray this eye serum for dark circles on your face. Make sure your eyes are closed. Gently rub the serum under your and around your eyes.
