Dark circles:what's the problem?

Of course, they can be camouflaged with makeup. But we would especially like to understand where they come from...

Reason #1:sleep and diet

Sleep plays a significant role. During the phases of restorative sleep, the body regenerates and releases substances beneficial to our health and to our peach skin (or not). To make the most of it, you should respect the sleep cycle and go to bed around 10 p.m. Suffice to say that it's (almost) impossible when you work, have children or simply want to enjoy our evenings a little...

Lack of sleep is therefore the main cause of dark circles, but it is not the only one. Alcohol and tobacco also promote them, as does too fatty food. Which may explain why even if you sleep like a baby (lucky one!), if you smoke and force cocktails or hamburgers, you can see dark circles appear. So, if you can't do 8-hour nights, you start by adopting a balanced diet and you put the pedal to the metal on the cigarette.

Reason n°2:blood micro-circulation

Dark circles can also be the result of poor blood circulation that causes visible hyperpigmentation under the eye. If this is the case, we get our hands on eye contour products that target dark circles:they use draining active ingredients that help revive blood circulation. And we take the opportunity to perform a massage that optimizes drainage:we tap the cream from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye, following the contour of the orbit.

Reason #3:Genetics

Yes, dark circles can be hereditary, which explains why we see children (who sleep well) with dark circles. There, we say thank you to mom and dad!

Whatever the cause of dark circles, do not panic! They can be easily camouflaged if you choose the right products and use them well.
