Massage for Dark Circles Under The Eyes

Simply tapping the skin very lightly with the pads of your fingers can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes by increasing blood circulation to this area.

Massaging your eyes can help to sooth headaches and reduce eyestrain as well as being beneficial for dark circles.

Be careful when massaging your eyes, though; it's very important to be gentle. You should also make sure that your fingers are clean before you touch the area around your eyes. Wash your hands thoroughly.

Always use the middle or ring finger as it is easy to apply too much pressure with the index finger. Only use the pads of your fingers, never the fingertips as you could easily scratch your eyes with your nails. You should never scratch the skin around your eyes and certainly never the eyes themselves.

Try this simple massage technique. Place the balls of your fingers on your eyebrows and gently press down. Move your fingers down around your eyes making circling movements. Continue around the eyes until you come to the bridge of your nose. You can repeat this massage technique two or three times and can use it regularly throughout the day.
