Hi,
I am new to this forum and am finding it so overwhelming. I just turned 30 (ugh!) and have really noticed how my eyes look so 'old'. they have slight dark cirlcles under them, crows feet and lines under the eyes too. I drink LOTS of water (over 2L a day) so I know I am not dehydrated.
Can someone please advise on what products I can use to get rid of my dark circles and lines around my eyes. I am looking to buy something (have no time for DIY). My skin is a little sensitive, I currently just use Aveeno calming daily mositurizer with SPF15.
thanks all in advance!!!! |

Welcome! 
Why not add Vivier vit. c line or Skinceuticals vit. c line to your skin and eye? Then to deal with puffiness there is Re Vive eye renewal cream or Kinerase Under Eye Rescue and the other cream from that line is good too for dark circles and fine lines.
For dry eyes that you may get occasionally, use Skinceuticals eye balm, or Valmont, or La Praire, and I like Cellcosmet eye contour cream. They are all expensive but so far I think the quality is better. |

If you do a search for dark circles you should find plenty of recommendations. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I think it's important to try to pinpoint the cause of dark circles. They can be caused by allergies, sinus problems, sluggish lymphatic draining, lack of sleep, etc
You're definitely doing the right thing by using SPF around the eye area. If I were in your shoes I would also add a vitamin C serum and perhaps (by the sounds of things) a more moisturising eye cream. Is the skin around your area dry? Do you spend a lot of time in air conditioning? |

thanks for your advice,
I think my main concern is lack of sleep. Also, over the years I didnt wear sunglasses (now you wont catch me outside without them!). Can you recommend a product that can somewhat combat lines, puffiness and circles together? Also, I will get a Vit C serum, which one do u think is the best that is not too exspensive?
thanks in advance! |
