My Dark Circles Blog Forum

Chamomile as well as Peppermint Tea Bags work well. Not only does it work for the dark circles, but it also works against the puffiness under the eyes.

Make yourself a nice cup of tea and then use the used Tea Bag fresh from the brewing.

I have to agree. I have used the teabags.  I think that it works great. It is so simple and easy to use.

Thanks for the tip, I haven't tried this one yet.  Something for the puffiness would be helpful

I love this blog! I've always had a problem with dark circles! And ur right...tea is a really good pick me up to brighten the eyes.
I've always used green tea bags on my eyes...they work really great because green tea is high in antioxidants, contains an antiimflammatory, and helps with blood circulation...I drink 1-2 cups a day so I keep the used tea bags the fridge and pop it out when I want to treat my dark, puffy eyes (hereditary...sigh)....or I'll just make a cup of green tea,  let it cool, then dip cotton pads in it and place them over my eyes for 10-15mins...I use the rest of the tea as a toner or a compress for my whole face (refines the pores!) and store any remainder in the fridge for later use. It's cheap and effective. And one last tip: It's always best to get organic green tea! They're alot safer.

I don't know why I never thought of this! I drink lots of tea!
Has anyone heard which one is the best one to use?

i personally have used teabags before i go out to remove them and it works wonders just make sure you dont burn yourself with the teabag

I personally prefer using peppermint teabags because the smell of the peppermint really calms me, as well as gets rid of dark circles.

I use tea bags, buthave never thoughtof using mint ones. I guess it would smell good. You might as well smell something good while you are doing it.

I never knew that teabags would be helpful.  The question I have is---If teabags appear to work wonders, then why isn't it working for everyone?  Many people are still on this forum complaining about all of these different home remedies and products they have tried that don't appear to be working for them.

The person who posted this thread said that chamomile and peppermint tea appear to really work...but what about other types of herbal tea?  Will ANY herbal teas work as well or does it HAVE to be certain ones?

I'm at my aunt's house, and the only type of herbal tea that she has right now is something called orange pekoe and black tea...something like that.  Will that type of tea work as well?

yes i agree with you..you really define some important matters here.

[corsby]

but one thing i forget to know... i heared from many people that it is good to use the tea on your skin.
