Battling under-eye bags

They come from many causes, sleep deprivation, genetic inheritance, or just a long rough night, but at one time or another we’ve all had a few dark under eye circles hang around. Dark under-eye circles have the ability to age even the youngest face, which is why they’re one of the top woes in the beauty world to this day.

The skin under and around our eyes is the thinnest skin on the body. This also means that it’s transparent enough for the blood vessels to show through.

Avoiding alcohol and cigarettes are always a great bet when it comes to your skin health, and avoiding under-eye circles is no exception. If you’re looking for an under eye cream be sure to look for one containing caffeine because it constricts the blood vessels under your eye.

If you’re wanting to cover them with concealer, look for one in an apricot tone that is a shade lighter than the color your skin tone. The yellow tone of the concealer works to cancel out the purple under the eye. Ensure you use a concealer with a creamy texture, avoid powder as it simply settles into the fine lines around your eyes-making things worse.
