How to use Aloe for Dark Circles and Baggy Eyes
The best way to use Aloe Vera for baggy eyes, is to apply it under and around the eyes, or better yet, just apply it to your whole face, making sure to put an ample amount around the baggy areas of your eyes. It also is effective in eliminating dark circles under the eyes. If you have the actual plant, just slice it and use a spoon to scrape out the clear gel, then apply it to the affected area.
Should You Wash Off Aloe Vera After Applying it?
Some people wash it off their face after letting it sit for about 25 to 30 minutes, but that’s not necessary. You can leave it on overnight so that it soaks in while you sleep. You’ll notice that when you wake up, the puffiness under your eyes is barely noticeable.
How Often Should You Use Aloe For Under-eye Bags?
You can use natural Aloe Vera until you see the results that you’re looking for. Try using it in the mornings after washing your face and at nights before going to sleep. Depending on how severe your puffiness or dark circles are, you may have to use it for a longer period of time to see great results. Since the plant is all natural and full of health benefits, you can add it to your regular skin-care routine. Keep your face soft, beautiful and acne-free with the gel from the Aloe plant as long as it’s needed.
How Soon Do You See Results?
Depending on your skin-type, you may immediately notice a difference. Sometimes the face is so thirsty and need the moisture so much, that it soaks in the pours and immediately shrink the pours and tighten the sagging bags under the eyes. You’ll start to see a difference in minutes after applying the gel.
