Dark circles under the eyes are very common for both women and men. Dark circles and eye bags make you look tired and age your whole face, worst of all they can be hard to get rid of.
However, there are ways to fade and reduce the appearance of dark circles and improve the lax and prematurely aging skin in this delicate eye area. Read on to learn why dark circles occur and how you can get rid of them with the new advances in beauty tools and doctor formulated cosmeceutical eye care treatments.
What causes dark circles under the eyes
Dark circles can occur for a multitude of reasons, most commonly either lifestyle related or genetic. The reason for your dark circles will determine the best way to treat them and reduce their appearance. The main causes of dark circles are:Sleep/fatigue, Medications, Diet, Natural ageing, environmental pollution/smoking, sun damage/ pigmentation & Allergies.
How to get rid of dark circles
The first step to getting rid of dark circles is to determine which of the above is causing them, and treat them accordingly. You can read through the following to help determine the cause and find out the best treatment.
1. Get more sleep!
Lack of sleep is one of the most common causes of dark circles. The good news about dark circles as a result of sleep is that they are almost always temporary, and can be fixed with a good night’s sleep.
To treat the immediate appearance of sleep related dark circles, try applying cool eye pack to your eyes after waking up or using a ultra sound/magnet therapy massaging device like our Facial Cleansing Brush, a Silicon facial scrubber and face wash device to stimulate blood flow and to help brighten and depuff your face and eyes! Or try a micro current beauty tool like the Skin Gym Facial Toning Device with Electronic Muscle Stimulation to help increase circulation. This Doctor engineered Face & Body Toner helps improve facial definition and contours, reduces wrinkles and helps lift lax & sagging skin by stimulating deep skin tissues and muscles with gentle microcurrents. After just five minutes per day, skin looks more defined, youthful and radiant.
Be sure to use your beauty device with a professional Hyaluronic Serum like Derma Fill Gel to help plump and fill fine lines! An advanced eye cream treatment like Peptide Anti-Ageing Eye Cream + Platinum Dark Circle Eye Cream will also help to instantly revive and illuminate tired eyes.
For the best Skin O2 anti-ageing mineral makeup eye brightening concealer, try Perfect Skin Concealer, our Perfect Skin Concealer Pen illuminates away dark circles. Use your concealer with a damp Flawless Makeup Blender Sponge to instantly reduce fine lines, dark circles & eye bags! For an all day long lasting finish & to keep your dark circles away, always set your concealer, we recommend the Bake Face Matte Translucent Powder for this.
2. Adjust your diet
Did you know that diet can cause dark circles to appear under your eyes. Including less salt in your diet will help to reduce water retention in your face and help to even out the appearance under eyes. Studies show that a diet high in sodium (salt) can contribute to fluid retention in the face, causing puffiness and dark circles. To reduce the appearance of dark circles related to diet, try adjusting your diet.
3. Natural ageing
As you get older, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner and it also loses elasticity. The looser skin can create a shadow under your eyes, create dark circles and eye bags. A high quality eye treatment will help to fight the signs of ageing around the eyes, rejuvenating and firming skin over time.
