Bright Eyes: Actively Tackling Eye Bags!

Bright Eyes: Actively Tackling Eye Bags!

We all know the winter months can bring tired eyes, but there’s good news: the right eye serum can make a difference! Eye bags and dark circles can result from lack of sleep, dehydration, or poor circulation. Although an eye serum alone won’t completely fix the problem, but the right one can boost microcirculation, help drain the area, and temporarily reduce puffiness. 

If you’re noticing puffiness or signs of aging around your eyes, it’s worth reflecting on your overall lifestyle. Stress, for example, can trigger your adrenal glands, leading to increased cortisol production. This stress hormone breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin, leaving it less firm and more prone to inflammation. 

Check In with Your Lifestyle:

Am I getting enough good sleep?  

Am I staying active? 

Am I continuously feeling stressed? 

Am I eating a nutrient-rich diet?

Adopting lifestyle changes can significantly enhance skin health and diminish under eye bags. Prioritise quality sleep, as it allows your skin to repair and regenerate, reducing dark circles. Aim for 7-9 hours of restorative sleep each night. Managing stress is equally vital; chronic stress can lead to skin inflammation and accelerated aging. Incorporate relaxation techniques such as deep breathing into your routine to promote stress management for skin. A balanced diet is essential, too. Consume foods rich in antioxidants like berries, nuts, and leafy greens to combat oxidative stress and promote skin vitality. Regular exercise boosts circulation, bringing nutrients and oxygen to your skin cells while flushing away toxins. By embedding these lifestyle tips into your daily routine, you support not only your skin’s health but your overall well-being.

 

Use the Right Eye Cream and Apply It with Care

The skin around your eyes is delicate, so avoid using eye creams —they’re often too heavy and can lead to puffiness. Instead, choose something lightweight like our Active Eye Serum for this area. Our eye serum contains cucumber seed oil, known for its cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. This can help reduce puffiness and under eye bags. Green coffee seed oil is another powerful ingredient; rich in antioxidants, it can improve circulation and brighten dark circles. Camelia seed oil, rich in fatty acids, offers deep hydration for skin, smoothing fine lines around the eyes. Watermelon seed oil are excellent for hydration due to their lightweight texture and high vitamin content. This helps lock in moisture without being greasy.

 

When applying, remember: 

Gently roll the product on and dab in with your fingertips—never tug or pull at the skin. Apply it under your eyes, working from the outer corners inward. You can also apply the serum on your eye lids and beneath your brow for extra hydration and lift. 

 

Combining these skincare tips with a balanced lifestyle will make you notice a visible difference in how your skin feels and looks!
