What causes dark circles under eyes?

Dark circles around the eyes are typically associated with tiredness, and while it’s true that a lack of sleep is a contributing factor, dullness can occur even when we’re well rested. Complexion changes can be the result of dehydration, stress, and even hormone changes, so small lifestyle adjustments can help to restore luminescence.

Alongside a healthy sleep cycle, anti-aging skincare can also support darkness around the eyes. As skin tends to thin with age dullness can be emphasised in thin areas of skin. Finally, genetics play a role in the appearance of skin, so it can be beneficial to implement skincare designed to target typically dull or lacklustre complexions.

1. Brighten dark eye circles with targeted serums

Pampering the skin around the eyes with dose of brightening skincare is the first foundational step in improving dark circles. Expand your skincare routine with a radiance enhancing eye serum to improve the appearance of dull under eyes. Absolue L'extrait Yeux Eye Contour eye elixir aims to refresh skin under and around the eyes by softening dark circles and toning the eye contour. This nurturing balm-elixir formula is paired with a multi-faceted petal shaped applicator to provide a cooling effect as the awakening eye mask is massaged into the eye contours.

2. Choose ingredients to address fatigue and puffiness

Lack of sleep can wreak havoc on complexions and lead to visible signs of fatigue, such as dullness or puffiness. While beauty sleep is fundamental to healthy complexions, particular skincare ingredients support dark eye circles to reveal brighter and more youthful skin. Advanced Génifique Yeux Light-Pearl targets puffiness by pairing the power of caffeine with a cooling stainless steel cryo-pearl applicator. Enriched with a unique blend of seven pre and pro-biotic factions, this youth-activating serum delivers essential nutrients to the skin and supports strengthened eyelashes when applied along the lash line.

Expertly designed to improve firmness and support a lifted eye contour, Absolue Eye Cream has an indulgent formula enriched with millions of rose molecular fractions. The creamy texture feels luxurious on the skin while the hydrating formula encourages plumper, more radiant skin. After cleansing and applying serums, help reduce the appearance of dark eye circles by lightly massaging the Absolue Eye Cream into the eye contour morning and night.

4. Cover dark circles with cream concealer

Particular makeup techniques can correct dullness and improve the sunken appearance of dark eye circles. A luminescent concealer applied strategically to create the illusion of lift is key here. Infused with intensely hydrating water lily, the crease free formula of the Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer provides breathable, long wear coverage ideal for the delicate eye area alongside skincare benefits. Starting at the eye’s outer corners, apply a small sweep of concealer, following the angle of the lower lash line.
