News India Live, Digital Desk: Rush-filled life, using mobile till late night, lack of sleep and stress… all these together create dark circles under our eyes. These take away the beauty of the face and make us look tired. But do you know that Vitamin C can work like a magician in removing these dark circles? It not only lightens the skin under the eyes, but also makes it healthy and glowing. Let us know how to use Vitamin C and how it works. Why is Vitamin C a boon for dark circles? Vitamin C is not only for increasing immunity but is also very special for our skin. It is a powerful antioxidant, which works in several ways: Increases collagen: It promotes the production of collagen, which is a protein that keeps the skin tight and smooth. Due to lack of collagen, the skin becomes thin and the blood vessels become more visible, due to which dark circles become more visible. Strengthening the blood vessels: When the blood vessels present on the thin skin under the eyes become weak, their blueness or blackness becomes more visible. Vitamin C strengthens the blood vessels, thereby reducing this problem. Lightening Scars: Vitamin C is known to lighten dark spots and pigmentation, just like it works on acne scars. How to use Vitamin C? You can include Vitamin C in your skincare routine in several ways: Natural Sources (Home Remedies): Potato Juice: Potatoes contain Vitamin C and natural bleaching properties. Apply potato juice under the eyes with the help of cotton and let it dry. Lemon juice (with caution): Lemon juice contains a lot of vitamin C, but it is very acidic. Always use it diluted with something else (like honey or rose water) and in very small quantities. People with sensitive skin should not use it. Kiwi fruit: You can mash kiwi and apply it under the eyes. Some other things that will help in removing dark circles: Drink plenty of water: Keeping the body hydrated keeps the skin healthy. Sun protection: Wear sunglasses or apply good quality sunscreen before going out in the sun. Healthy diet: Eat fruits and vegetables (orange, amla, kiwi, spinach, capsicum) rich in vitamin C. Less stress. Do: Stress is also a major cause of dark circles. Reduce this with yoga and meditation. Remember, do a ‘patch test’ before using any new product, especially if your skin is sensitive. Only with consistent use and proper lifestyle can one say goodbye to dark circles.
