Dark circles can literally ruin your day. If you’ve got a big meeting or a special date night planned, there is nothing more annoying then applying layers of concealer and hoping it works to hide them.
Thankfully, there are a few easy tricks you can use to banish even the most difficult dark undereye circles. With these helpful tips, you’ll look bright-eyed and well-rested every single day!
Sleep On Your Back
Do you sleep on your stomach or side with your face pressed into a pillow? Well, experts agree that this can be the reason you’re waking up with raccoon eyes. When you sleep with your face pushed into a pillow, it can put a strain on the delicate skin around your eyes and make dark circles look even worse.
To combat this easily, do your best to stay sleeping on your back. This will not only help relieve waking up with dark circles, but it will also have a huge benefit for jowl lines and wrinkles which can occur when your face is pushed up against your pillow.
Use Witch Hazel
Witch Hazel has been known to tighten swollen blood vessels under the eye which lead to dark circles and shadows. An all-natural ingredient, it is super effective for every single skin type, which is why its a key ingredient in our Eye Lift Serum.
Witch Hazel is totally safe and natural and is often sold as a clear astringent that you use as a toner for your entire face, or specifically for your dark circles. Another huge benefit to witch hazel is that it will help de-puff your eye area and mask sagging skin from aging. This super-powered ingredient will be the key to revitalizing your eye area and taking years off the look of your eyes.
Avoid Bad Foods
You are what you eat, and it’s no shock that what you put into your body has a direct effect on how your skin looks and feels. We know the basics, stay away from lots of sugar, greasy foods, and processed foods, but do you know that some foods are going to directly result in dark circles?
Some foods are considered “allergenic” which means when you eat them, they can cause dark circles and swelling as a reaction to your body processing it. Some allergenic foods to steer clear of for bright eyes include items high in sodium and potassium. Instead, opt for healthy choices like grapes or broccoli to calm inflammation and fight darkness around the eye area.
