My top 5 ways to help minimize those dark under eye circles and puffiness!
Cosmetics: You can cover your dark circles by using lipstick and some other cosmetic products. Keep in mind you can’t use any color of lipstick, you need to consider your skin tone. If you have darker skin, bright orange-red lipstick works best when trying to conceal. Why does this work?Think of a color wheel, where colors can neutralize each other. Dark circles usually appear as blue or green. Using a bright orange-red color, which is the opposite on a color wheel, helps to counteract the darkness, hence minimizing the appearance of dark circles.
To give your eyes an extra lift from those bags, apply a concealer using the three-dot method, forming a triangle. Two dots, one on the outside of your under the eye, one near your nose/tear duct area to create the base of the triangle. The 3rd dot is used to create the point towards your cheek. (fill all in to finish the triangle).
Sleep: Changing up the way you sleep by elevating the head, can help to reduce fluid retention. Hence, you will need to sleep on your back, with your head propped up on a few extra pillows.
Your Diet: Avoid salt & drink plenty of water as dehydration causes sagging skin and salt causes swelling.
Cold Compresses: Use a cold spoon or a cold washcloth on the eye area. I’ve also had great results with refrigerating some of my Anti-aging eye creams, but be careful as refregiration of some creams can reduce the effectiveness.
