Dark circles? Guy-safe cures

Have you ever had a meeting that was very important, maybe critical, and you couldn’t get any sleep a couple of days prior? Maybe it was your first job, or a big promotion, or opening your own business. Maybe you lost sleep for a more personal reason, like buying a house, or getting married. Or just stress was kicking at you because of the stock market.

Whatever the reason you just aren’t getting any sleep, and you look miserable. The dark circles under your eyes are a dead giveaway to your lack of sleep, and can easily ruin that first impression, wedding photos, and so on. What can you do? More importantly what can you do if you hate, or don’t trust or don’t hate time for, chemical cures? What do you do if you are a guy and have no clue?

Well I’ve found some information that may help you out. Even if you are a guy as clueless about skincare and health as I am.

According to Best Syndication one of the best things you can do is cut up some thin cucumber slices. We’ve all seen movies and television shows where women are doing this as part of a spa treatment, but it really is good for you. Just keep your eyes shut and wait 10 minutes. So simple even a guy can do it. Before you know it you will be looking far better for that meeting or event.

Now if you are a real meat and potatoes kind of guy, cucumbers are not an option. Vegetables are not your friend – you wouldn’t know where to buy them and the smell makes you sick – so you need another option. In the same style and manner as the cucumber you can substitute a thin slice of potatoe. Now it will take 2x as long, but if the thought of a cucumber makes you feel to feminine, it’s your next option.

But let’s make this a bit harder. What if you are too macho for cucumbers, and stuck in England? (For the ladies perhaps you are just trying to relax in a bath in your hotel room.) Well there is still hope to get that better paying job. Have a couple of glasses of tea to calm you down, and once you are done the tea bags should be cool. Now use them by putting them on your eyes for 10 minutes. As a bonus keep in mind only caffeinated teas will do the job, so guys we have nothing to fear – like ordering some kind of herbal tea.

But if all the above is just too much effort, there is still one more simple, guy-safe solution that you can use. 2 cool teaspoons (no tea required). You’ll need to wash your face with warm water prior, and the teaspoons shouldn’t be left in a freezer so long as to risk freezing to you eyelids. Again it’s going to take 10 minutes. And again, guys, the spoons should not be cold enough to have icicles attached.

Now best Syndication goes on to mention one more solution before discussing wrinkles. I’m not going to mention it because I’m a dumb guy that wouldn’t eat a banana or know how to puree anything if you paid me. Other guys might, but I don’t. But if I mention it I’m sure some women will know what it is and what to do. Banana puree.

So, now that you have my understanding of the natural cures you have no excuse to start that business, get married, ask that cute girl at the bar/coffee shop out, or whatever your reason for needing to know this.

Hope it helps, and maybe gave you a smirk.
