1. Check to see if seasonal or environmental allergies are the cause.

 

Allergy season can cause persistent side effects such as dark circles and eye puffiness. Meaning you may require medical therapy such as oral and intranasal antihistamines. It's crucial to identify which allergens are causing your symptoms to determine which creams and treatments can assist lessen the adverse effects.

 

2. Get the recommended eight hours of sleep.

 

It's tempting to stay up late, especially when you have Netflix on and you can't seem to tear yourself away from the television. Unfortunately, a good night's sleep has a lot to do with how wide-eyed and bushy-tailed you'll appear in the morning. Fatigue also causes puffiness and swelling, which highlights the dark circles. So what is your first line of defence against owl eyes? Make sure you get a total of eight hours of sleep.

 

3. Start the day with an eye-brightening cream.

 

Your under-eye area is significantly more sensitive, thin, and fragile than the rest of your face, so it requires extra attention in addition to your regular face moisturiser. Look for [an eye cream] with caffeine as the primary ingredient. After cleansing, gently dab the brightening cream underneath your eyes and over your eyelids with your ring finger. You'll be astonished at how much more alert you appear.

Our Hydrating Face & Body Lotion contains many ingredients that can combat dark circles. One would be hemp seed oil you can learn more about it here.

 

4. Apply sunscreen even if you're indoors most of the day.

 

If you hop over this critical phase in your skincare routine, your dark circles will worsen. The fragile skin around the eyes is especially vulnerable to UV damage and skin cancer. In addition, excessive sun exposure causes your body to create more melanin, resulting in darker circles. Ensure the solution you're using is soft enough for the eye area to avoid sensitivity and discomfort. Wearing sunglasses outside is another technique to protect your eyes and the skin around them from the sun's harmful rays.

 

5. Use a concealer with a neutral undertone to neutralise the dark.

 

After your eye moisturiser has worked its magic in reducing puffiness, mask those dark circles with concealer. Peachy undertones work best regardless of your skin tone. Avoid selecting a yellow hue, which will make the under-eye area appear grey, and instead choose a colour that isn't too bright, which will attract more attention to the problem.

 

Apply concealer to the inner corners of the eyes and blend down and outward, pressing and patting lightly until well coordinated for a natural-looking finish. If your under-eye region is dry, put a little eye cream on top to refresh the concealer.

 

After applying the concealer, set it with a bit of translucent powder to keep the liquid makeup in place and avoid creasing.

 

6. Before going to bed, remove all of your makeup.

 

Taking off your makeup allows your pores to breathe and your skin to renew overnight, so you wake up looking fresh and invigorated. However, when you massage your skin to remove eye makeup, you risk severe inflammation and capillary damage, resulting in dark circles. So instead of makeup wipes use of an oil cleanser. It removes even waterproof mascara with gentle rubbing and does not leave the dry or irritated.

 

However, keep in mind that not every remover is suitable for your skin type. It may necessitate experimenting with several options before settling on one that is calming and beneficial for you.

 

7. End the day with night-time eye cream.

 

You also have to make sure your skin is well-nourished and hydrated before going to sleep because it is in recovery mode. Eye cream is not a skincare product to be skimped on. Preferably use one that incorporates retinol and plumps up the skin.

Tried a lot of skincare products but feel like nothing was made for you?

That is how we felt. Both my Mom and I. 

WE felt as though there was nothing that truly catered towards our skin.

Nothing able to keep it hydrated, soft and supple without leaving it looking oily/greasy.

We wanted a simple and easy skincare routine that would treat dry skin, fade hyperpigmentation and prevent acne.
