Under-Eye Darkness or Circles

Under-eye circles or darkness are sometimes hereditary, sometimes caused by lack of sleep, poor circulation or sometimes allergies. We may not be able to fully get rid of dark circles but here is a regime that will help to lessen the appearance of dark circles.


Daily Routine - Step 1 - Cleanse

Cleanse as recommended in the section for your skin type: Oily or Dry. Add an eye makeup remover if your face cleanser is not enough.


Daily Routine - Step 2 - Treatment

Look for products that stimulate collagen production to firm the skin, lighten the skin and light reflecting ingredients. Look for a product that combines many of your concerns.


Daily Routine - Step 3 - Moisturize/Hydrate

Try and find an all in one treatment that moisturizes and combats your concern. Look for a product that is lightweight.

TIP: Ensure there are no waxes in the formulation as they will pull the skin and long term will compound wrinkles.


Daily Routine - Step 4 - Concealer

Never underestimate the power of a concealer. To camouflage under-eye dark circles or darkness look for products with light reflecting properties.
