Buh. Bye. Bags.

DARK CIRCLES
The inevitable creatures who are there when you need them least. And don’t you worry, just like your great aunt during the holidays, she packed her puffy travel bags and is here to stay awhile. Dark circles can come from an what feels like an endless list of causes, + the best way to banish them is to prevent them from occurring. Open those peekers wide + lets take a close look.

AGING
As we age, our skin loses collagen + elasticity. This thins out our skin in an area of skin that is already delicate. For the already thin skin around the eyes, this causes the dark blood vessels beneath your skin to become more prominent - hence - your under eyes appear dark.
LIFESTYLE CURE
Unfortunately, unlike Cher, we just can’t turn back time. But, we can start now by treating this area delicately to prevent premature aging. Don’t pull or rub on your skin - especially around the eye area - + always apply products using the middle finger to delicately tap-apply products.

DEHYDRATION
When your body is not receiving the proper amount of water, your eyes begin to look sunken + dark due to the orbital bone. If you’re not a big water drinker - add a little sparkle in your H2O with a squeeze of lemon or fresh fruits to infuse a little sweetness to the taste.
LIFESTYLE CURE
Step on the scale (yes, you have to) + divide that number by 2 - that is how much water you should drink in ounces every. single. day. (This recommendation was outlined by U.S. News & World Report.)

LACK OF SLEEP
Ahh, one of the most common culprits - not getting enough zzz’s. This can cause your skin to become dull + pale, allowing for dark tissues + blood vessels beneath your skin to show even more. And it gets worse - sleep deprivation can also cause fluid to build underneath your eyes making them appear puffy. Ugh.
LIFESTYLE CURE
Doctors recommend 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Skip the laundry. Don’t look at the dirty dishes. It can wait. Your beauty + mental health can’t!
