To alleviate the appearance of dark circles, a very simple small reflex can change everything according to a dermatologist.
The eye area is an area really hard to understand and treat. The reason? The skin is significantly finer than on the rest of the face since it is only 0.5 millimeter thick (against 1.5/2mm on the rest of the face). This place is however a real marker of the quality of our sleep, but also of the passing time. Under the eyes, the skin is also less elastic, and the hydrolipic film responsible for keeping hydration in the epidermis is less effective. Result: we often observe drought, small fine lines, but also colored and sometimes dug dark circles.
Fortunately, there are a few methods to take care of the eye area and reduce signs of fatigue. The morning and evening use of a cream or serum specially designed for this delicate area is obviously part. After depositing a small quantity, the product is applied by tapping slightly with the annular pulp. In addition to moisturizing the underside of the eyes, this will allow makeup, especially concealer, to blend and stay in place all day. Better still, a dermatologist recommends keeping the eye area … in the fridge! “”If you have pockets, it may have a refreshing effect and mitigate them“Explains Dr. Marisa Garsish, dermatologist in New York, at the Women’s Health media.”In addition, the cool temperature promotes the contraction of blood vessels under the eyes, thus reducing the appearance of dark circles and swelling“The key: a tense epidermis and an awakened look. Cryotherapy spoons or cold compresses are also good allies to fight dark circles according to the professional.
On the ingredient side, we put on creams for the eye area containing caffeine, retinol, hyaluronic acid or vitamin C, depending on the desired effect. As for her, the texture of the product must be rich enough for the nourishing side. Before an important evening or event, we do not hesitate to use anti-concealer patches. In a few minutes, they smooth the area, and temporarily reduce signs of fatigue. The little extra? They can also be kept in the fridge for a decongestant effect!
