Dark circles and puffy eyes remedy

As we age the area under our eyes tend to dry out and wrinkle, causing unsightly dark circles under the eyes. This is due to the lack of oil glands under the

eyes. To get rid of puffy dark circles under the eyes you need to moisturize the under eye area daily.

The best way to do this is with jojoba oil.

Remedy directions:

Dip a cotton ball in jojoba oil and gently pat the oil into the area under the eyes before bed. Avoid the eye lids and lashes. In a few weeks you should

notice the dark circles starting to lighten and soon they will just disappear.
