Serum for dark circles under the eyes

Whey and cottage cheese are very effective against bruises, hematomas and swelling from any origin and anywhere. My mother tested this from her own experience. She fell and broke her head, there was a bruise all over her face and eyes, a huge lump and severe swelling. The doctor advised applying gauze with serum - the swelling and bruise would resolve, and the skin would recover very quickly.

Inspired by my mother’s success, I tried a fabric mask with serum on my face - the swelling and dark circles under the eyes really go away, wrinkles smooth out, the skin becomes smooth, moisturized, and matte. The serum helps against acne, comedones, oily sheen, it moisturizes, restores elasticity, evens out skin texture, lightens freckles and pigmentation, and rejuvenates.

WHEY Whey is the liquid that remains after curdling and straining milk when making cottage cheese or cottage cheese. One of the properties of serum is that it removes excess moisture from the body (both externally and internally). It also includes a valuable composition of vitamins and elements, and due to the content of low molecular weight proteins, the product slows down the aging process of cells. It has been proven that the serum has a regenerating, absorbable effect, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Due to the acid content, it whitens the skin.

Whey contains lactose, glucose, casein, albumin, globulin, amino acids, lactic, acetic, citric and formic acids, vitamins B1, B6, B2, B12, C, E, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, chlorine, zinc, sodium, potassium , iron, iodine, cobalt, molybdenum, lipids and milk fat.

How to cook: Pour the sour milk or curdled milk into a saucepan and place in a water bath for half an hour. Once the milk has curdled, remove the pan from the heat. Using a sieve and gauze, strain the whey from the curd.

Application: Soak gauze in serum in 3-4 layers, squeeze a little so that it does not drip, apply to a bruise, bump or swollen area. For 10-20 minutes. Can be covered with polyethylene. You can use it as often as needed - 1-6 times a day. Do not use on open wounds.

COOK Instead of whey, you can use non-dry, wet cottage cheese (which does not contain starch). Place it in gauze in 2 layers and apply it to a bruise or bump. Or in the form of a mask overlaid on top of polyethylene.

The skin of the eyelids is very delicate and vulnerable, and therefore it is around the eyes that the first signs of aging appear. And then there is the regular application and removal of makeup, constant blinking, aggressive environmental influences... Bags, bruises, swelling, crow's feet - almost every girl faces these problems.

It’s only been a few months since I switched to multi-step skin care. I’ll tell you about the steps later, today I want to talk about one good product.

I started my journey in testing serums 3 months ago - for the first month I tested the night lifting serum from Mirra (see here TYK). Then I decided that this serum should be replaced with a lighter serum and night cream. In one online store, a very beautiful craft tube caught my eye; it contained an organic serum. I gave it to my mother to read about the serum, she, as an organic specialist, approved it, and I bought it for testing.

And I'm talking about Anti-Age Levrana night serum with blueberries. Looks nice, doesn't it?))

The first thing we looked at was the composition - it contained some benzyl alcohol. Alcohol is the only ingredient in this product, which in very rare cases can cause allergies, the rest the ingredients are absolutely safe, I checked the composition of the ingredients on many sites, the serum is real organic.

Now about the product itself: The serum has a light liquid sticky gel texture. The smell may seem terrible at first, but believe me, real organics always smell some kind of wormwood. After 3-4 uses I got used to the smell. The serum is applied using a pipette; half of this pipette is enough to cover the entire face and neck. Distributing it over the face, at first it will seem that the skin is sticky, but after half a minute everything will be absorbed, the skin will be smooth and not greasy. After this, you can apply another night cream.

About the effect: You shouldn’t expect miracles right away; the effect of the serum takes time. After a week, I began to notice, but the skin looks more rested, the serum seems to invigorate it, and also smoothes it. The serum certainly does not moisturize the skin, but judging by my feelings, it maintains the lipid balance, especially in combination with the cream. After 3 weeks, I began to notice something that I had never even dreamed of - THE BRUGS UNDER MY EYES HAVE REDUCED. This is what I definitely did not expect, because other products did not help me with this problem, except for concealer, of course. The serum really lightens dark circles under the eyes and makes the skin rested.

I will take more, and I advise you to do the same. Cost from 400 rubles.
