【聖誕多約會】我想擺脫熊貓造型啊！
#黑眼圈令面容憔悴又顯老
#最怕遮瑕膏越遮越黑
#星期三問題多多
內在調理擊褪黑眼圈
佳佳：「我對黑眼圈好嚴重，每次化妝都要用好厚遮瑕膏才能完全遮蓋，明明已經用了很多眼霜，還是沒有幫助。」
CheckCheckCin：想擊褪黑眼圈，先要了解黑眼圈的形成原因，有人因為天生眼周黑色素比較深，又或是因鼻敏感，眼周血液循環較差。其實更多的人是後天生活習慣形式，如經常熬夜傷陰、傷肝腎，以致肝血不足，「肝開竅於目」，血液不暢通滯於眼底時間久則變瘀，形成黑眼圈，所以在外塗抹幾多的眼霜都未見功效。其實從內在調理身體更為重要：避免熬夜、少吃生冷食物、適量進食活血食物，如山楂、黑木耳、紅菜頭、玫瑰花等，還有情志問題都會影響氣血運行，所以要盡量保持好心情啊。
減淡黑眼圈茶療 – 山楂赤芍茶

Battle your dark circles with internal conditioning
My dark circles are quite bad and I have to apply quite a thick layer of concealer to cover them. I use eye cream regularly and it doesn’t seem to help.
CheckCheckCin: to fight dark circles, it is important to understand how they are formed. Some people are born with darker pigments around the eyes, others have poor blood circulation around the eyes due to nasal allergies. Many have poor lifestyles with late nights that damage yin, liver and kidneys leading to insufficient liver blood. Liver affects vision and poor blood circulation leads to bruising due to stagnation under the eyes which are the dark circles. This is why eye cream cannot fix the problem. It is important to condition your body internally: avoid late nights, avoid cold and raw food, appropriately consume ingredients that promote blood circulation such as Chinese hawthorn, black fungus, beetroot, and rose. Emotional issues can also affect qi and blood circulation so it is important to keep a healthy mental state.
