Everybody loves pandas, that's a fact. But from there to looking like them... Standing in front of your mirror, you are obsessed by the shadows in front of your eyes. No doubt, you have dark circles! Whether the party has gone on a little too long, whether you've been caught up in your TV show, whether you're temporarily tired or have been exhausted for a long time... dark circles are never welcome. Sometimes bluish or sharp, sometimes brownish, they give an unenviable look, you'll agree... Discover all our tips to fight against dark circles and make your eyes look more relaxed!

Why do I get dark circles?

Defativate your eyes: how to bring a breath of fresh air?

The eye contour area is particularly fragile because it is where the skin is thinnest. Poor in sebaceous glands, elastin and collagen fibers, it shows the slightest sign of fatigue by turning a darker color than the rest of the face.

With its 22 muscles in constant movement and thousands of eyelid beats every day, it is extremely solicited and is one of the areas of the body that ages the fastest: bags, wrinkles, fine lines, dark circles and sagging can then make their appearance prematurely.

While bags are the result of an accumulation of water and/or fat under the eyes, dark circles are due to tired, slack skin. Our lifestyle, stress, fatigue, but also pollution, smoking and prolonged computer use are partly responsible.

In all cases, poor blood circulation and a disturbance of the lymphatic tissues known as "support" are at fault. Responsible for the drainage of tissues, the lymph allows the elimination of pigments gathered under the skin. Since the epidermis is extremely thin under the eyes, a sluggish lymphatic system allows these pigments to appear, sometimes blue-green (signs of visible vascularization) or brownish (grouped pigments). Fortunately, numerous advances in the field of cosmetics and natural remedies are at hand to fight dark circles and eliminate those ugly shadows that darken your eyes.

(Note: Dark circles are not just the preserve of night owls and overworked people. Sometimes they are genetic, which makes them more difficult to eradicate. In this case, removing them will require cosmetic surgery).

THE RIGHT THINGS TO DO EVERY DAY

In order to fight dark circles effectively, it is essential to take care of the eye contour area on a daily basis. For this, three steps are essential: massage, make-up removal and moisturizing.

MASSAGE

Massaging the eye contour area helps to boost blood and lymphatic circulation. The better oxygenated tissues thus favor the healthy glow effect. But to do this, you need to adopt the right gestures: with the pad of your index finger, gently touch the inner part of the upper eyelid. Then, with two fingers, make small circular movements on the outer two-thirds of the upper eyelid, from the inside to the outside. Do the same on the lower eyelid. Repeat each action 10 times. For best results, it is best to perform this draining massage every day. Want a more expert touch? Performed on the eye contour area, the gua sha massage harmonizes energy flow and circulation to reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes. A solution for those who have yet to find a better (and absolutely natural!) way to treat signs of fatigue in the eye area.

MAKE-UP REMOVAL

To fight against dark circles, removing makeup every night is essential. Throughout the day, impurities accumulate on our face. Pollution and makeup literally suffocate the skin. By gently and effectively cleansing your face before going to bed, you will free your skin and allow it to breathe during the night, a time of intensive skin regeneration. You can use a make-up remover oil, gentle on the eye area and very effective in dissolving any stubborn dirt.

HYDRATION

Moisturizing your skin helps to keep its suppleness and elasticity. By providing it with the water essential to its beauty and health, we help it to fully play its role as a protective barrier against external aggressions. The eye contour area, the area where the skin is most sensitive, is all the more in need of daily hydration. To do this, we turn to specific care products, such as highly concentrated serums that we apply morning and evening. You can take advantage of this to perform a lymphatic massage at the same time. To fight against dark circles even more effectively, these products can be kept in the refrigerator, for a "whiplash" effect when applied!

Tip: don't forget to drink 1.5 litres of water a day, essential for a radiant complexion!

I WANT THE GUA SHA

NATURAL TRICKS OF THE TRADE

FRESH WATER COMPRESSES

Defativate your eyes: how to bring a breath of fresh air?

To fight against dark circles, there is nothing like the application of cool water compresses. Indeed, cold water reactivates blood circulation as well as lymphatic tissue circulation. To do this, generously soak two cotton or cloth discs generously with cold water or with a floral water kept in the refrigerator, such as cornflower water, known for its decongestant properties. We lie down and we let pose on the eyes about ten minutes!

CUCUMBER AND GREEN TEA

The cucumber is 95% water. Applied directly to the eyelids, it becomes an excellent natural source of hydration for the eye contour area. Here again, the round

they cut must be cold in order to increase their decongestant action tenfold. Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that eliminates toxins and activates blood circulation. You can prepare an infusion, keep the used tea bags in a cool place for a few hours (or 10 minutes in the freezer) and then apply them in compresses for a few minutes. It is also possible to moisten two make-up removal discs with the infusion itself and apply them in the same way!

THE SLEEP

Finally, the big secret to fighting dark circles is... sleep! Between 7 and 8 hours of restful sleep each night, added to all those little daily beauty rituals, and dark circles will soon be nothing but a bad memory!

Audrey- "I have been using the stick for several weeks now. The lotion already smells divine (I had never tested Akane products with apple). I personally use it in the morning when I wake up. After several weeks, I have a brighter complexion, less pores but most importantly I find it very effective for eye bags."
