How to Combat Eye Bags and Dark Circles — Without Make-up

Author: Susan

Let's face it — concealer can only do so much. If you’re dealing with under-eye puffiness or stubborn dark circles, it’s time to address the issue more deeply than just using makeup.

Most eye bags are caused by fluid retention, ageing skin and poor circulation. Dark circles? These are caused by genetics, thin skin, or fatigue. There is no single solution that works for everyone, but a consistent eye care routine is your best defence.

A good eye care routine doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply cleanse the area, apply a specialised eye cream and use a cooling or vibrating applicator. Look for ingredients such as peptides, caffeine and light-reflecting minerals.

Devices offering light therapy or sonic massage can help to naturally invigorate tired eyes. Use them morning and night for the best results. Over time, you’ll notice smoother skin, less puffiness and a natural brightness that concealer isn't needed for.

Remember: real change takes consistency. With the right tools and habits, you can restore the appearance of your under-eyes and ditch the filters.
