Dark Under Eye Circles Treatment & How to Hide or Lighten
Them with Makeup
Most women over thirty will at some point wonder how to get rid
of under eye circles. There are three ways to attack the problem
of dark under-eye circles: prevention, topical application and
cosmetic restoration. Holistic prevention, while being the
easiest solution for some people is also the least effective for
most.
What Causes Under-Eye Circles & Darkness
Dark circles under the eyes tends to be a genetic issue and
practically unavoidable if dark under eye areas run in your
family. But for people whose genetic background doesn't
predispose them to dark circles, the easiest solution may be to
get some sleep and drink a lot more water. One of the first signs
of fatigue or dehydration is dark circles that appear under the
eyes. The under-eye skin is thin, with a membrane that runs
between a fatty layer and the outer layer of skin we see. When
your body needs water, it shows up around the eyes first.
Drinking liquor causes dehydration, as does over consumption of
sugar and caffeine. Stress also causes under eye puffiness. Diet
can impact your face too, especially if you have food allergies,
and sulfites in wine can wreak havoc on the delicate skin around
your eyes. So, once again, the answer nobody wants to hear: you
might be able to banish undereye circles from within by taking
care of your health.

Natural Home Remedies for Dark Under Eye Circles
But home remedies can only do so much. If your dark under eye
circles don't budge even after a long nap and eight glasses of
water a day, it's time to go the cosmetic or make up route.
There are lots of options here, some more useful than others.
oisturizers are helpful mainly in that if you have lines around
your eyes, the shine from the moisturizer will help lessen them
and create a lighter look. Look for moisturizers with natural
ingredients such as avocado oil, sesame, Vitamin K and Vitamin E.
Moisturizer also works well as a base for under eye makeup like
concealer because it smoothes the skin and makes it easier to
apply a tinted cosmetic. There are no make-up secrets here:
moisturizer will help other makeup keep from caking.
Best Beauty Product to Hide Dark Eye Circles
The best beauty product for under eye circles is concealer, and
most makeup artists agree that it's important to use one with a
slight golden color, as yellow tones counteract dark ones.
Chamomile has long been known as a natural remedy for skin, and
some concealers contain this ingredient which can help cure as
it covers. Concealer is great for dealing with dark circles as
long as you get the right shade and apply it correctly. Some
women make the mistake of choosing a concealer that's too light:
then you wind up with reverse-raccoon eyes, where the whiteness
under your eyes looks strange and somewhat alien. The ideal
concealer is usually a shade lighter than your foundation. To
some extent, the area under the eyes is somewhat shadier than
the rest of your face because the eye sockets naturally are
somewhat receded into the face. If your concealer is too light,
your eyes will disappear in the glare.
Non Surgical and Surgical Treatments to Correct Puffy Under Eyes
If you're tired of trying to erase your circles with eye cream,
you may be looking for a treatment or even a cure. Looking tired
all the time can affect your morale as well as the way people
treat you. There are non-surgical options to eliminate puffy or
dark undereye areas: injections performed by cosmetic surgeons
can fill the hollows, and need repeating every three or four
months. A really good ocularfacial surgeon can tighten the skin
of the eyelids, reducing the puffiness and eliminating the dark
circles for years to come. Called blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery
can get rid of dark circles, puffy upper or lower eyelids and
hollow, tired looking eyes. If you go this route, make sure to
find a specialist who has done thousands of eyelids, ask to see
before and after pictures and check with the local medical board
to check the surgeon's history with other patients.
