1. Spread sun protection gently under your eyes. The skin
beneath your eyes is thin and it is more prone to sun-induced hyper
pigmentation. To keep your eyes free from dark circle, use non-drippy or stick
formula sun protection that won't hurt the under-eye area. This prevents skin
darkening under the eye.
2. Complement it with your foundation. Choose foundation
makeup with SPF to hide this unwanted gloom underneath.
3. Cover them. You can opt for cream concealer to hide under
eye circle and darkness. Choose a cream concealer that is one shade lighter
than your skin tone when wearing it under foundation. Put the concealer with a
small brush into the dark areas. Using your pinky finger, gently pat the edges
to blend it. Then, powder it lightly to retain the concealer.
4. Try opaque eye cream. Opaque eye cream mostly contain
Alpha Hydroxy Acids(AHA) that decrease the appearance of wrinkles , lighten the
circle and smooth the skin under the eye.
6. Retinol works. Look for eye cream that has retinol in it.
This vitamin A derived product will fade pigment and increase collagen
production to make the skin less transparent, making your dark circles less
noticeable.
7. Don't overdo the use of Retinol. Frequent application of
retinol to the under eye can leave red, flaky rings around the eye. Choose
retinol that will not irritate the eye area.
8. Be gentle in removing eye makeup. Gentle, light touch
under the eye area is essential while removing makeup. If you rub your skin
under the eye, it causes inflammation and capillary damage that contribute to
dark circles. Thus, prevent rubbing your under-eye skin. Use proper makeup
remover in taking off your eye makeup.
9. Avoid massage. Never massage the under eye area for it

a cold washcloth for 5 minutes. Repeat several times throughout the day to help
constrict your blood vessel. This tip is helpful to minimize darkness, tissue
swelling and even eliminate darkness.

exercise improves blood circulation oxygenation and controls stress. Combined
with adequate amount of sleeo, this leads to healthier lifestyle, resulting in
reduced appearance of dark circles.

healthy skin and refreshed eyes, eat fruits and vegetables that are rich in
vitamins and iron.

treatments to eliminate dark circles. One of them is chemical peel, which is a
non-invasive treatment for dark circles. With the use of superficial peels like
glycolic or AHA peels, these variants of chemical peels are the weakest and do
not penetrate too deep into the skin since the skin under the eye are thin.
