Dark Circle SOS
Ever wake up on the day of a special event only to find those dreadful dark circles under your eyes? Don't panic. We have some helpful tips to help you prevent or lessen dark circles.
- Let's face it, dark circles are sometimes genetic. However, having plenty of sleep and less stress certainly help minimize the appearance of dark circles.
- Be sure to drink enough water. Dark circles are usually the result of dehydration. The skin under the eyes is extremely delicate and gets dehydrated easily. You may have noticed that they typically become more noticeable after a night of alcohol or coffee consumption. That is because alcohol and caffeine usually dehydrates our body.
- Use appropriate eye creams. Many eye creams will soften the lines and brighten the eye area. Products that contain Vitamin K, Vitamin E, sesame or avocado oil will help hydrate and redistribute the built up toxins.
- Putting cucumber on eyes may be soothing but it actually does nothing to disperse the toxins. If your eyes are tired or burning, try using an eye mask instead. They will help calm the delicate eye area. Use once to twice a week for the optimal results.
- If your dark circles are becoming more of a permanent fixture, you may want to use concealers to cover them up. Some concealers contain Vitamin K, E, and Chamomile and will help fix the problem while they are concealing. Choose a yellowish tone to offset the darkness. Use one that is only one shade lighter than your foundation. Otherwise, the eye area will be too light and there may be a glare.
