Dark circles and bags under the eyes make your face appear dull. Having an eye area that's darker than the rest of your face is a major concern for women with dark or olive skin. Who doesn't dream of an even complexion and luminous eyes?
At Beauté Herins , we know very well that the presence of dark circles is often a source of stress that can lead to a loss of self-confidence. What if we told you that you no longer need to camouflage your dark circles? Yes, it is entirely possible to treat them effectively and regain (finally) a luminous… and refreshed look.
It's essential to understand that some areas of your face are more sensitive than others. This is particularly true of the thin and fragile skin under your eyes. Since it's more fragile, the slightest change will affect it before the rest of your face. Dark circles or bags under your eyes are all the more frustrating because they can have several causes.
Lifestyle, and especially fatigue, are the main triggers. When you're tired, your blood system slows down. Black or olive skin will then tend to darken, and sometimes even swell. Allergies, stress, alcohol and tobacco consumption, or even a poor diet can lead to the same result.
Another phenomenon that can cause these dark circles is skin pigmentation, which is called pigmented circles. The upper part of the eyes is generally darker than the lower part. But sometimes the pigment reaches the lower part.
Although there are natural solutions, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist specializing in black skin to find out the cause of your dark circles and get rid of them effectively.
There are several methods to make your dark circles disappear naturally.
The first is to naturally stimulate blood circulation under your eyes. You've probably noticed that your dark circles are more visible in the morning. Since cold is an ideal ally when it comes to stimulating blood circulation, simply place chilled objects under your eyes. The back of a small spoon left in the refrigerator overnight will do the trick.
Many natural ingredients are also recommended for their benefits for your eye area:
For these solutions to be truly effective, it is necessary to establish a routine. You probably won't see a radical change from the first application. By taking care of your skin morning and evening, a difference should quickly be seen after a few days (for the decongestant effect) to a few weeks (for the treatment of hyperpigmentation ).
These natural solutions can be used in addition to eye care. Here again, you will need to be very careful in your choice. To combat dark circles, we recommend using IN'OYA My 3-in-1 Eye Contour "Anti-spot, Anti-dark circle, Anti-puffiness" .
This treatment was specifically designed for dark and olive skin. It contains baobab pulp, hibiscus, melon oil, and caffeine. The treatment comes in the form of a roll-on that allows you to massage your eye area while providing an immediate decongestant action.
Lifestyle is a determining factor in the appearance of dark circles. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and short nights, as these all contribute to the appearance of dark circles. Make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep each night. After all, being rested and happy is the number one beauty secret.
Another simple step to incorporate into your routine is massaging the area around your eyes. Simply tap gently with your fingertips, working from the inner corner of your eye outward.
Of course, Beauté Hérins remains available to help you choose products suited to your skin. Don't hesitate to visit our online store to discover a selection of treatments formulated specifically for black, dark, and mixed-race skin by the IN'OYA Laboratory.
Can dark circles disappear?
In some cases, dark circles can disappear with lifestyle changes such as better stress management, adequate sleep, a balanced diet, and adequate hydration. Additionally, using specific eye care products can help reduce the appearance of dark circles by hydrating the skin and improving blood circulation.
In case dark circles are caused by genetic factors, it may be more difficult to eliminate them completely.
Do ice cubes remove dark circles?
Ice cubes can temporarily reduce the appearance of dark circles. However, it's important to wrap them in a glove before applying them to the skin to avoid damage from direct cold. Additionally, regular use of ice cubes can be irritating to the delicate skin around the eyes. While ice cubes may offer temporary relief, they are not a permanent solution for eliminating dark circles.
Why do I wake up with bags under my eyes?
Waking up with bags under the eyes can be caused by several factors, including lack of sleep, fluid retention, stress, or even sleeping position. To reduce the appearance of bags under the eyes, it is recommended to get enough sleep, stay hydrated, reduce salt in your diet, use extra pillows to elevate your head while sleeping, and apply specific eye care products to moisturize and firm the skin.
