8 NATURAL WAYS TO REMOVE SUNKEN EYES/HOLLOW EYES

The dark pigmented skin together with a hollow space beneath your eyes also takes a toll in your appearance. A sunken eye is caused due to aging, lifestyle habits, not getting sufficient rest and sun exposure. Although sunken eyes have exclusive medical treatments, you can ease away the dark circles and get rid of the sunken eyes with minimal efforts.

1. Sleep:

Yes! This is the real, primary and an effective home remedy for sunken eyes. As mentioned earlier, a sunken eye is a slow outcome that represents need for good rest and sleep. Sound sleep is in fact a great preventive medicine to stay away from myriad of lifestyle diseases. Get adequate sleep to gradually heal the sunken eyes. Schedule your time to bed and time to wake up and stick to that routine. Ensure you get at least 7 hours of sleep every day. Besides, it makes no harm if you take a small nap during the day not more than 30 minutes!

2. Almond Oil

When you have sunken eyes, the skin will be very delicate. The skin under the eyes is more likely to lose the nutrients. You need to nourish the skin to get rid of the hollow space. Apply almond oil under the eyes several times a day. Almond oil is rich in Vitamin E, a nourishing vitamin for skin.Alternatively, you can simply use vitamin E capsules. Buy the OTC vitamin E capsule and break open capsule, apply the oil on the hollow eyes.

3. Raw Potato

JuiceWhen we think about treating the sore eyes, most of us prefer cucumber. Raw potatoes are equally potential to heal the sore eyes and dark circles. Slice the potatoes and place it on the affected spot for around 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can apply the juice of raw potato directly on the hollow spots. The skin become soft and you will find noticeable improvement in the pigmented spots.

4. Tea Bags

With rich antioxidants and flavonoids, using tea bags improves sunken eyes by promoting blood circulation. The sore and darker skin gets replenished with improved blood circulation. It also relaxes the eye muscles and soothes the nerves. You can place the warm as well as cool tea bags as you desire. It is good if you can use green tea bags. Please read my earlier post on tea bags from July 2016 (titled: "caffeinate your eyes to perk them up").

5. Moisturizing Sunscreen

Never ever try to move out in the sun without wearing a moisturizing sunscreen. Invest in some good quality moisturizing sunscreen to prevent further damage to the sunken eyes.

6. Sandalwood

Sandalwood is a natural ingredient that nourishes the skin. It improves the skin complexion and adds radiance to the skin. You can apply the sandalwood paste on the dark circles or go with sandalwood essential oils. Either way, it improves the dark circles, soothes the tired skin and gives a replenished skin.

Experimental treatments

Doctors are continually trying new strategies to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds without surgery.

One option is the use of growth factor, a chemical that stimulates cell growth. A 2015 study evaluated growth factor concentrate injections in 80 people with nasolabial folds.

Exercises for nasolabial folds

The muscles of the face can be toned just like any other group of muscles. Strong facial muscles make it easier to control facial expressions. Just as a toned stomach may look less saggy, a toned face may look tighter.

While frequent smiling can worsen nasolabial folds, a person should not try to refrain from smiling. Laughter and smiling have positive effects on a person's mental health and are important social cues.

Some people claim that facial exercises can strengthen the muscles surrounding nasolabial folds, potentially making them less noticeable.

There is little or no scientific research on the effectiveness of these exercises, but they are not harmful. Anyone who wishes to try them can do so safely and may find them beneficial.

Exercises for nasolabial folds include:

• Puckering the lips in an upward motion, as if kissing the ceiling. Hold for 15 seconds and repeat 4–5 times.

• Puckering the lips into a pouting motion, then pulling the corners of the mouth out. Hold for 15 seconds and repeat 4–5 times.

• With the mouth slightly open, pull on its corners with both index fingers, pulling the corners of the mouth further apart. Hold for 2–3 seconds, and repeat 25–50 times.A person can do these exercises every day.

Prevention

There is no method for preventing nasolabial folds — even children have them when they smile.Those who would like to prevent them from getting deeper or more pronounced should wear sunscreen and protect their face from the sun. This can slow the damage of the sun's harmful UV rays.

Takeaway

Nasolabial folds are a normal part of the face, not a defect. Although they can grow or deepen over time and as a result of smiling, there is no medical need to treat them.

People who are bothered by their nasolabial folds should speak with a skilled plastic surgeon or physician who specializes in aesthetic treatments.
