HEALTH
Periorbital Hyperpigmentation can cause dark
circles too. The condition results in higher
melanin production by the skin below the eyes,
resulting in it appearing to be a darker colour.
HOW TO GET RID OF THEM?
No Salt?!
Flash excess salt from your body by drinking
water, try to stay away from salty food and
drinks that cause you to become dehydrated,
like alcohol.
Sleep well
Double up your pillows if you have bigger eye
bags. Watch out for dust and other particles on
your bed that may result in allergies.
Apply an eye cream containing either tannin or
caffeine around your eyes because these
chemicals will help the vessels constraint due to
their anti-inflammatory action. Use of tea bags
or circle of a cucumber ring on our eyes also
serves the same purpose.
Quick fix
Go and put on some concealer.
Concealing eye bags and dark circles with a
little makeup is the quickest solution. Start with
a moisturizer as usual. Then apply your creamy
concealer. Don’t forget to choose a
concealer that matches your skin tone, or one
shade lighter if the eye bags are a bit darker.
Finish by patting a translucent powder with a
wedge sponge under your eyes to set the
concealer and blend it out with a shadow to
your cheek bones to make your eyes open more.
