Is it time to change your lifestyle?
If you are prone to dark circles and want them to become a thing of the past, you should start by reviewing your lifestyle. However, it's worth mentioning that dark circles are often due to genetic factors. In such cases, changing your lifestyle, like getting more sleep and reducing stress, might not be enough.
Read on to learn how changing your lifestyle can help prevent dark circles.
Prioritize your beauty sleep!
Dark circles are often due to poor lifestyle habits. We’re not exaggerating when we say sleep is essential—not just for your body to function properly. Lack of sleep can also affect your skin and lead to dark circles. The skin under your eyes is the thinnest on your body, and the dark, oxygen-poor blood is more visible here. This is one reason you get dark circles under your eyes.
The solution? More sleep, of course! It’s no coincidence it’s called “beauty sleep.” What is enough sleep? This varies individually, as some need less sleep than others, but aim for about 6-8 hours of sleep.
Invest in the right skincare
If you want to avoid dark circles, unfortunately, it’s not enough to eat right and get your beauty sleep. You also need to care for the skin under your eyes externally. Here are our best tips!
Care for your skin with our Eye Gels
Awakening Eye Gels are the skincare equivalent of your morning energy duo. Each Eye Gel contains an invigorating cocktail of vitamin C, niacinamide, peach extract, and caffeine that evens out skin tone, reduces puffiness, and banishes dark circles. In just 15 minutes, you’ll have a smoother, brighter eye area. A must for slow mornings when you’d rather stay in snooze mode.
Care with an effective eye serum
Since the skin under the eyes is so thin and lacks oil glands, you need to add moisture to strengthen the skin and reduce signs of fatigue like dark circles, which can be done with an effective eye serum. We recommend Xlash Wake Me Up Eye Serum.
This antioxidant-rich serum helps brighten the under-eye area while providing skin firmness. The effective and easy-to-apply formula is packed with camellia leaf extract, vitamin C, and jojoba oil. It absorbs quickly and can be applied under your favorite moisturizer. Use it in your morning routine for an invigorating effect.
Eye massage
A method to prevent dark circles and tired eyes is to treat yourself to a simple and quick eye massage every day. It takes a maximum of 30 seconds! Start by gently pressing in a circle around the eye with your index and middle fingers. This increases blood circulation around the skin under the eye. Continue pressing outward along the eyebrows and then inward towards the nose along the cheekbones. Repeat three times. Then press upward under the eyebrows and inward beside the nose bridge and above the tear ducts. Finish by massaging the temples with your index and middle fingers.
Did you know that the skin under your eyes becomes even thinner as you age? Unfortunately, this also means your dark circles become more visible. Don’t worry, here are our best tips on how to prevent dark circles!
