How can I reduce dark circles?

1. Why do dark circles appear?

Whatever your age, at some point you may start to notice dark circles appearing. The skin in the eye contour area is particularly fragile, and can start to darken. If your circles are blue, the culprit is poor blood circulation or a lack of sleep. If they are brown, overproduction of the skin's natural pigment may be the reason. The good news is that they can be prevented!

2. The perfect product for under-eye circles

To banish dark circles, start with a targeted treatment for the eye contour area. Choose your product based on their root cause. If dark circles are brown, look to the Mission Perfection Eyes with acerola extract to help suppress excess melanin. If they look blue, reach for the Eye Contour Gel for Dark Circles to fight signs of fatigue. This gel reduces your under-eye circles so your eyes look rested and sparkling, like you’ve had a good night's sleep.

3. Makeup: Camouflaging your under-eye circles

Once you've applied your eye treatment, you can also add a touch of makeup to conceal any remaining darkness. Your ultimate ally for this is an under-eye concealer! Available in four shades, the Instant Concealer is perfect for instantly brightening your eye area. Choose a shade a little lighter than your foundation to enhance the illuminating effect. Apply a small amount of product and gently tap until blended in. And there you have it! Gorgeous eyes, even if you've been up all night.
