It’s so annoying, like when I step foot into any room, people start to look at me with such judgment and unspoken judgement in their eyes as if to say ‘What happened to you?’. I’m like, not today guys. It’s like I have to constantly prove myself, or people just make a judgement right off the bat.
I feel like it’s so unfair; I mean, I give heavenly efforts to take care of myself, to do the right thing like proper dieting, getting a good night sleep, and exercising regularly. But still, nothing seems to change. It’s like I’m stuck in the same moment in time, like I’m riding on a never ending loop.
Every day I even tend to break down into tears. I become so depressed to the point where I stopped seeing myself in the mirror. It’s been a long winding road searching for tips and tricks to help, googling and reading articles all day, The truth is I’m running on fumes and I’m really starting to lose hope that I’ll ever find something that’ll work for me.
But I’m determined to find a solution. So, I made it my mission to find out about this whole ‘fake bags under eyes’ issue and see if I can find out more about it. Like what causes it? Are there treatments that can help with it? What are the best ways to prevent it? The list goes on. I even looked into any natural remedies I can do from home.
I started researching more into what’s causing this problem and I found out that the culprit was my poor sleeping patterns. It turns out that bad sleeping habits was actually making my dark circles worse. So, I focused my efforts on improving my sleep hygiene. I started getting into a proper sleep routine, and I made sure to keep my bedtime and wake up time consistent.
I also adopted a healthier diet that was full of foods that are known to help reduce puffiness and dark circles. I started drinking more water and also started avoiding foods and drinks that can cause dehydration. I wasn’t just taking the steps to get rid of my fake bags under my eyes, I also made sure to get regular exercise, manage my stress levels better and take time for some proper self-care and pampering every now and then.
And that didn’t just stop there, I started experimenting with some natural remedies that I can do from home. For instance, I tried cucumber slices, cold spoons and chamomile tea bags. With these treatments I had no side-effects, yet they’re so affordable and made from natural ingredients. It was really pleasant surprise that I can try out some DIY treatments right at home.
I even once tried out a cozy face-mask once, made of healing ingredients like honey, almond oil, cinnamon and turmeric. I mean these natural remedies are really becoming my go-to. I’m already starting to see some improvement.
But it’s still a work in progress. I’m now more aware and have become much more mindful of how I’m treating myself, both body and mind. I’m also keeping my house much cleaner and tidier for fewer allergens floating in the air. Thanks to mindful breathing techniques I’m now more in control of my stress and anxiety.
I’m also making sure to really listen to my own body, giving it what it needs to restore its own natural balance. Sure there are still times when these fake bags under eyes pop up, but I’m starting to get the upper hand on my sleeping habits and overall health in general.
I guess what I found out is that these bags are not just physical, there is in fact an emotional side to it. I know I’m not alone in this fight, and if any of this resonates with you, remember to take time to look after yourself, you deserve it.
