What causes dark circles under eyes?
Before you can get rid of dark circles, you need to understand why they appeared in the first place. The causes of dark circles range from ageing to lifestyle habits. These are the most common causes of dark circles under the eyes:
• Ageing – One of the most common causes of dark circles is ageing. An anti-ageing cream can help prevent and even reverse some of the signs of ageing that cause dark circles (more on that later).
• Dehydration – We’re always singing the praises of hydration when it comes to keeping your skin healthy and supple—and the delicate skin around your eyes is no different. Not consuming enough water throughout the day can lead to an increase in the appearance of dark circles.
• Lack Of Sleep – Not catching enough Zs? Those eight hours a night can be crucial for preventing dark circles as a consistent lack of sleep can lead to dark, puffy under eyes.
• Free Radical Damage – Free radicals are unstable molecules found in pollutants, UV and blue light rays that damage skin cells. They can wreak havoc on the thin delicate skin around your under eyes—leading to premature fine lines and wrinkles as well as dark circles.
• Genetics – Dark circles causes aren’t always from lifestyle habits—they could also simply be prevalent in your genetics. If you have a family history of dark circles, there might be a better chance of you dealing with the skincare concern.
What is the difference between dark circles and eye bags?
While many people think dark circles and eye bags are one in the same, the two are actually different. The main difference is that dark circles is the darkening of the skin under the eyes, while eye bags refer to swelling or puffiness in the undereye area. The causes of eye bags, however, are similar to the causes of dark circles, such as ageing, genetics and lack of sleep.
Are dark circles permanent?
Most of the time, the appearance of dark circles is reversible by practising better lifestyle habits (i.e getting better sleep and drinking more water) and curating the perfect skincare routine for dark circle treatment.
What are the best products for dark circles?
The one product everyone dealing with dark circles should have is a quality eye cream. You’ll need your dark circle eye cream to do 3 things: brighten, hydrate and protect. Our new Advanced Night Repair Eye Super-Charged Gel-Creme does all 3, repairing, depuffing and tightening the skin around your eyes while brightening the look of existing dark circles in just 2 weeks.
If you’re dealing with dark circles due to ageing, an eye cream like Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Eye Balm nourishes, strengthens, and boosts radiance to target multiple signs of ageing and reduces the look of lines and dark circles around the delicate under eye area.
Looking to load your dark circles routine with luxury? Re-Nutriv Ultimate Diamond Transformative Eye Creme, made with Black Diamond Truffle Extract, brightens, reawakens and firms under eyes to reduce dark circles and puffiness.
When to apply eye cream for dark circles?
Now that you have the best eye cream for dark circles, let’s talk about fitting the product in with the rest of your routine. Every morning, start with a treatment lotion like Micro Essence Treatment Lotion with Bio-Ferment to fortify, soothe and nourish the skin. Next, apply a skin serum. Then, opt for a daytime moisturiser with UV protection like DayWear 24H Moisturizer SPF 15. Allow the moisturiser to fully absorb into your skin before gently applying eye cream to your undereye area.
Every night, start with a cleanser like Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser to remove dirt, makeup, and pollution particles from the day to give yourself a clean canvas. Next, apply a treatment lotion, then a repair serum like Advanced Night Repair Serum. Once your repair serum is fully absorbed, apply a nighttime moisturiser like Revitalizing Supreme+ Night Moisturizer. Then, it’s time to apply your eye cream of choice.
