DARK UNDER-EYE CIRCLES

THE CAUSE: While a lack of sleep can worsen the appearance of dark under-eye
circles, their most likely cause is kidney function: If the kidneys aren't eliminating
the body's waste products as they should be, it can contribute to a dark colouring
beneath the eyes.

THE SOLUTION: Help kidneys by drinking enough water 0 at least one liter per day
and start eating phosphorus-rich foods. Phosphorus is found in wholegrain foods,
chicken, eggs, seeds and nuts.

BEAUTY FIX: An eye cream containing vitamin K can help strengthen delicate
under-eye capillaries. Vitamins K and A in a gradual, controlled manner, helping
the vitamins to repair blood vessels and reduce pigmentation without causing irritation.
