Dark Circles & Panda Eyes
Dark Circles
Panda eyes aren't just because of lack of sleep, you know! There are many factors that make the under-eye area dark - from genetics to allergies. The eye area is the most delicate on the face, so it needs special attention!
Common Causes
- •Lack of sleep (classic reason!)
- •Genetics (hereditary pigmentation)
- •Aging which makes the skin thinner
- •Allergies or allergic shiners
- •Hyperpigmentation
Signs
- •Under-eye area darker than the surrounding skin
- •Bluish or purple tint (vascular)
- •Brownish tint (pigmented)
- •Hollow or sunken under-eyes
- •Eyes look tired and puffy
Ingredients to Avoid
- ⚠️Fragrance in the eye area
- ⚠️High-concentration Retinol directly on the under-eye
- ⚠️Products that are too active for sensitive areas
