Lack of sleep during Ramadan can result in dark circles under the eyes, but a natural recipe can help restore the area. The Spa at Park Hyatt Doha sponsors OHLALA’s DIY beauty tip for May
Sleep deprivation is one of the biggest causes of dark circles under the eyes; however, sun exposure, heredity and allergies can also cause this problem to happen.
Another matter is the natural ageing process. When you age, you tend to lose fat and collagen, and your skin often thins, which can make the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more prominent. During Ramadan, your sleeping routine is affected, and dark circles result from not having proper rest. A bad night’s sleep can make your skin look dull and pale, allowing the tissues and blood vessels beneath to show through, imagine 30 days of not sleeping the number of hours you actually need? We come to the rescue with a homemade recipe to banish your dark circles.
The main ingredients are cucumbers and mint. While cucumbers are rich in vitamin K, known for reducing discolouration and strengthening blood capillaries, mint soothes the area with its antioxidant properties. The combination of these two ingredients is your weapon to fight this issue.
