HER SINK  //  UNDER EYE DARK CIRCLES

Get out of the dark.

Getting rid of dark circles under your eyes starts with understanding what causes the issue in the first place. It’s possible to have more than one plight triggering the problem.

Let’s break down the common culprits and how to fix them:

  1. Aging:
    Prevent dark circles, redness and wrinkles with a good moisturizer and sunscreen.
    ELASTIderm by Obagi is a great product to treat fine lines that cause darkness. Skinceuticals A.G.E eye cream reduces redness caused by tiny blood vessels. 

  2. Genetics:
    You can’t pick your parents but you can choose the best product to improve dark circles, which is     DEJ eye cream by REVISION. 

  3. Lack of sleep/stress:
    A good night’s sleep does wonders for improving under eye circles.     Learn more about good sleep hygiene here. 

  4. Makeup:
    Going to bed without removing eye make-up is a no, no. Pigments from mascara, eye shadow and eye liners can seep into skin leaving dark circles behind. Use     Neutrogena sensitive skin make-up remover wipes before bed. Be sure to wipe your eye make-up from the outside corner of your eye to the inside for gentle removal. 

  5. Shadows:
    Hallow skin catches shadows causing the skin to look darker than it actually is. Injecting hyaluronic acid fillers plumps the skin improving the look of dark circles. Be sure to have a dermatologist do the injections because there’s risk of nerve damage that may lead to blindness if not done properly.
