Dark under eye circles will happen to almost everyone i.e. men women and children at one time or the other irrespective of age. Dark under eye circles are also thought to be hereditary in some cases but most of the time the causes are quite simply manmade. Some common causes of under eye circles are, stress, excessive sun exposure, dehydration and poor circulation.
There are main routes to getting rid of dark under eye circles: you can camouflage them by using a concealer, treat them with under eye moisturizing products which contain vitamin E, Collagen, and Elastin and Alpha hydroxy acid or if you are plagued by chronic dark circles you can see a dermatologist and go for more aggressive treatment like chemical peels or laser resurfacing depending on how bad the situation is.
Discovering the cause of dark under eye circles and treating the cause will prevent the dark circles from returning (never use over the counter bleaching creams to try to get rid of dark under eye circle, use only prescribed medicines). If you want a quick temporary fix however you can use an under eye concealer (one that is a shade lighter than your foundation is the right colour). You want to make sure that when under eye concealer is applied it is applied correctly or else it will look very unnatural and can also have unwanted results. Below you will find how to apply under eye concealer:
· Select a dark under eye concealer that is a shade lighter than your foundation, you can also use a yellow corrector powder which is fantastic for bluish grayish under eye circles. Avoid oily concealers as they usually settle into fine lines and draw attention to the dark circles.
· Make sure the face is clean and if using a brush, puff or finger tips make sure they are all clean.
· Gently dab concealer under the eye using gentle circular motions, apply only a little concealer at a time then apply foundation. Always use a foundation after applying concealer. Never rub as this can cause swelling or redness.
