My Favorite Recipes For Hair And Skin Using Coffee/ Mis Cinco Recetas Favoritas Para El Cuidado De Mi Piel Y Cabello Usando Cafe!

 I don't drink coffee and I try to stay away from any drinks that contain caffeine, it makes me super jittery and really sicK. I do however love the smell and I love even more to use it in my skin care, if like me you have really bad dark circles than you probably know that most of the eye creams contain coffee and after you try some of my favorite DIY treatments you will see why! 

The caffeine in coffee has benefits like treating redness and inflammation, to getting rid of the horrible cellulite. Coffee contains anti-inflamatory and antioxidant properties that can keep your skin bright and soft. Also the caffeine can shrink the blood vessel under your eyes reducing circles and puffy eyes.

My Holy Grail Eye Treatment!

I can't even believe how sensitive my eyes are. Know this,  nine out of ten my eyes are irritating me in one way or another. Dry eyes? Check! Watery? Check! Itchy? Check! Dark Circles? Check! Puffy eyes? Check! I'm sure there's a few more I'm missing but I won't bore you with all my sensitivity issues. 

I will tell you about my HOLY GRAIL eye treatment, I started using Clinique when I was in high school. To be honest with you this is the only department store product I use to buy. I stopped using this eye treatment a year ago to try out other eye creams and some were good, a lot of them irritated my eyes even more. I gave up my search and went back to the only eye treatment that  truly works for me. 

I love the silky texture and how I immediately see a difference after I apply it. The hardest part about using eye cream is that they tend to creep into the eyes after a few hours and burn, not this one! It has brightening ingredients that work instantly and also over time to diminish the look of circles and fine lines. It comes packed with botanical and proven ingredients to depuff and calm the eye area. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for new eye treatment to treat circles and puffy eyes! 

Una de las cosas que mas me molestan es lo sensitivo que son mis ojos, siempre me pican o están súper resecados. La verdad es que todo me incomoda en los ojos, después de dos bebes, la universidad, trabajos donde me tenia que levantar de madrugada me empezaron a salir unas ojeras horribles. He tratado de todo, desde tratamiento caseros a muchos productos y aunque muchos me ayudan a disminuir la apariencia de las ojeras, algunos me irritaban los ojos aun mas. 

Quiero compartir con ustedes el mejor tratamiento que yo he tratado para combatir las ojeras. Es de Clinique All About Eyes! Me fascina la textura sedosa que tiene y como inmediatamente veo una diferencia al aplicarme esta crema. Viene cargada de ingredientes botánicos que ayudan a ver una diferencia inmediata pero que también con el tiempo ayudan a eliminar los círculos negros y las hinchazón. Le recomiendo estos productos a todos los que como yo están sufriendo de ojeras!

With all that's been going on in the news lately I have had a really hard time falling asleep. Lack of sleep is not only bad on our mental health but also on our beauty especially our poor eyes. While we could spend many hundreds of dollars in products that promise to erase dark circles and bags from our eyes, sometimes all we need to do is step into our kitchen!  Of course it really depends on your skin, what works for you and what doesn’t, but this is a very effective way to not only reduce the appearance of dark circles, but also help tighten the skin around your eyes! I think this might be my favorite dark circle tip! try it and let me know how you like it. 

Con todo lo que ha estado pasando en mi estado con lo del marathon, últimamente no eh podido dormir para nada. La falta de descanso no solo perjudica tu salud mental, tambien afecta como te ves.

Hay miles de productos en el mercado que prometen borrarlas para siempre, oh simplemente puedes ir a tu cocina y preparar algo que te va ayudar mas. Todo depende de lo que funciona para ti, pero yo te puedo asegurar que no solo ayuda con tus ojeras si no tambien a que se te vea menos inflamada. Honestamente es uno de mis trucos favorito para combatir las ojeras. Tratalo y me cuentas como te funciono!
