The ingredients you need are Camwood Powder and water. That is all

http://www.rukasplace.com/camwood-powder.html

Flawless Cream- Made with Camwood Powder

Some simply rub this powder on their skin, others mix with water before rubbing on skin.

Flawless Cream

NATURAL SOLUTIONS TO DARK CIRCLES AROUND EYE AREA.

ALMOND NUTS

Keeping it simple and natural is my motto in everything I do, especially when it comes to make-ups. I am not a fan of heavily made-up face. I wear the barest minimum and to be able to do that your skin needs to be almost perfect. With a little bit of effort, it is achievable.

With flawless skin your need for heavy make-ups will be greatly reduced, so will be the stress of make-up application. Think about it; you’ll spend less time getting ready in the morning. You won’t have to keep dashing to the ladies to touch up your make-up every so often. You’ll have no worries of your clothes getting stained from the different colours on your face. And you can get into bed at night without the hassle of scraping make-ups off your face.
Okay, I know we all have our facial imperfections and hiding them seems the easiest option. But some skin problems are better treated than hidden. Take the shadows under the eyes (that dark circle surrounding the eye area) for example. This is a popular reason why many ladies wear concealers as part of their make-up routine. But it conceals, like the name suggests, not clear the dark shadows.

If you really want to get rid of those dark circles, first you need to stop these habits: 

1. Not sleeping enough (Try to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night)
2. Exposing your skin to the sun (Sun is good for you but use Moisturizers with good SPF)
3. Not drinking enough water (Drink lots of water for great skin and good health)
4. Bad diets (Get all the necessary vitamins and nutrients by eating a balanced diet)
5. Rubbing eyes (Absolute no-no. Try to cure whatever is making you rub your eyes)

The above mentioned habits are basically to prevent Dark circle around the eyes, but how do you clear the dark circles you already have? My answer is DO IT THE NATURAL WAY.

There are many amazing natural Ingredients you can use to clear dark shadows and other skin discolorations, here are some:

ALOE VERA GEL

Sweet Almond Oil- This delicate oil has skin lightening properties. Gently use your index finger to dab Sweet Almond Oil around the eye area twice daily. The shadows will gradually fade.

Instant Pearl Powder- Used by women in Asia for centuries for skin whitening. Instant Pearl Powder stops aging process by fighting free radicals on the skin. Use by itself, mix with water, or milk, or raw egg, and apply to eye area for dramatic fading of dark circles.

Turmeric powder- This spice is an antioxidant, popular among the Southeast Asians for Skin brightening. Get your hands on some and mix with yoghurt or buttermilk and apply to your eye area.

Aloe Vera Gel- Hydrates and heals skin. A good way is to mix  Aloe vera Gel with any of the other ingredients for amazing treatment of your eye area.

Green Tea- It contains huge amount of Vitamin C which helps in fighting many skin discoloration and helps lightening of the skin.

CAMWOOD POWDER

LEMON FRUITS

RUKA'S PLACE CASTOR OIL

Camwood Powder- This African herb treats many skin problems, dark spot happens to be one of them. Make a face mud by mixing  Camwood Powder with Rosewater and use on the eye area twice daily.

Potatoes- Treating your skin with this will stimulate collagen and elastin because Potatoes contains many Vitamins and nutrients for making your skin glow. Grate peeled potatoes, mash them and apply to the affected area.

Cucumber- Like the potatoes, cucumber is also full of nutrients and antioxidant necessary for skin lightening. To use on eye area follow same method as the potatoes or mix with the potatoes for stronger force.

Lemon- Many swear by this, myself included, that application of the juice of lemon to the dark areas works. Use by itself or mix with any of the other ingredients.

Castor Oil- A natural rich emollient, with amazing ability to penetrate the outer layer of the epidermis. Regular use of Castor Oil in your skincare routine will help fade dark spots.

You can mix two or more of these ingredients together or use one at a time to determine the potency and find the one that works best for you.

There are so many more, just do a little bit of digging and you’ll uncover a world of treasure of ingredients for natural beauty.
