These darkened spots below the eyes reveal that we are tired and make us look downcast and even a little sad.
Worse yet, sometimes you don't even have to be tired! You may simply have a tendency to have dark circles under your eyes and always have those purplish spots standing out on your face, giving an impression that is not so true about how you feel.

- 1 tbsp of coffee grounds;
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil.
Caffeine has anti-inflammatory function, helping to soothe the skin, and is a noun that activates circulation, increasing blood flow. As a result, there is an improvement in tissue oxygenation and elimination of toxins, which promotes the smoothing of dark circles and fat pockets.
Olive oil and coconut oil, in turn, are ingredients that promote deep hydration in the region below the eyes, which has a very thin and delicate skin. Both are rich in antioxidants and form a protective layer that prevents water loss.
Now separate the ingredients and see how easy it is to prepare and use this homemade recipe to stop dark circles:
1. Mix coffee grounds and olive or coconut oil in a bowl
2. Using your fingers, apply the paste to the area of dark circles.
3. Massage with gentle strokes so as not to hurt the skin
4. Wait 5 to 10 minutes and rinse
According to youtuber, she noticed an immediate softening in the color and puffiness of dark circles.
Remember, though, that this tip has a temporary effect. That way you have to repeat the procedure once a week to keep clearing the spots, otherwise they'll come back with everything!

If your dark circles are very apparent, you can associate youtuber's homemade tip Tammy Sloty with other easy-to-do tricks. Write down:
- Chamomile tea: Make a very strong tea and after it has cooled, put the sachets with the herb in the freezer. Then place them over your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes;
- Saline: Dip cotton swabs in saline and place in freezer until well chilled. Then apply them to the eye region;
- Papaya and milk: beat 100 ml milk with half papaya in a blender until it forms a baby food. Apply to the eyes and let it act for 20 minutes.
If none of these tricks is enough to soften your dark circles, be aware that aesthetic medicine has a number of treatments for this problem, such as carboxitherapy, peeling, filling and laser. In such cases, always look for a dermatologist to indicate the best options for you.
