Creams, concealers, lifestyle changes… is there an answer to this perennial beauty problem?

One minute we were feeling relatively fresh-faced and the next, we’re peering into the bathroom mirror wondering how to get rid of the tell-tale signs of sleepless nights and years passing that’s written all over our faces.

How To Get Rid Of Dark Circles

We did say “what, if any, treatments…” to rid you of the dark circles around your eyes. The simple truth is that sometimes dark circles cannot be treated – there’s a truth bomb! However, some can, and simple lifestyle changes, products, and treatments by Skin City will help reduce and clear under eye dark circles.

Prevention

As with many things in life, prevention is better than cure. Whether you’re at a higher risk of sun damage and pigmentation or not all dermatologists, including our on Dr. Niteen Dhepe, recommend using an SPF every day.

Make-up

The fact is you cannot change your genes. While you can try lightening products and exfoliating treatments generally dark circles, as a result of your genetics, can only be treated and not cured. Some clever makeup application can work wonders, whether you are concerned with dark circles or puffy under-eye bags there is a world of advice out there.

Skincare

We have already mentioned the importance of wearing an SPF every day – even in the winter – and how it’s an excellent part of your preventative skincare toolkit. However, there are other skincare products that can help with dark circles including eye creams. When gently applied to the eye area eye creams can actively promote collagen and boost elasticity to strengthen skin which helps treat dark circles that are related to aging. For tired eyes products with caffeine, such as green tea, are helpful as they can awaken tired eyes. A word of caution; unless the cream or serum is specifically designed for the eye, avoid the area completely.

Treatments

Dark eye circles can be hard to treat and it is always a good idea to maintain realistic expectations of the results you can achieve. However, that doesn’t mean that there are no treatments available. Dark circle treatment at Skin City not only addresses dark circles but skin pigmentation; exfoliation treatments, such as Medical Microdermabrasion, can treat thick and dull skin. Laser treatments can also reduce the pigmentation in the under-eye area as well as helps with tightening of the skin. If you are experiencing permanent swollen or puffy under eyes you may also want to consider an eye bag removal procedure.

It is evident that with proven medical treatments for dark circles, you’ll find better long-term solution. As well as targeting the dark circles around your eyes it can also work to gradually reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Of course, the skin around your eyes is very sensitive. This is why it’s essential that for a safe and successful procedure you get advice from a dermatology expert, which will ensure your eyes shine as brightly as possible.
