Dark and prominent undereye area are the problem of the modern age, whether it is genetic predisposition or stressful lifestyle. There are two types of undereye area – prominent blue-violet tones that represent accumulated blood in the area and yellow-brown tint that comes from hyperpigmentation that is genetically caused and can be exacerbated by sun exposure.
With ageing, the surrounding area becomes darker, it begins to look more prominent, so the only thing there is to be done is strong dedication to developing preventive habits that will keep the area youthful. First and foremost, be very gentle towards the eye area. Do not waste time on make-up products that are not effective, rather buy yourself high quality products that can remove waterproof makeup as easily as normal one. Currently I am using Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Facial Cleansing Oil. In contact with water it turns to most beautiful, silky milk that removes stubborn makeup.
Show love for your skin and avoid salty foods and stress. Use products that contain ingredients such as vitamin C, caffeine, ginseng that will reduce the effect of harmful radicals on the skin, brighten the skin, increase circulation and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Covering the area with makeup is the easiest way to refresh your face and create the appearance of a rested and supple skin. If you can reduce the color of the area, then you can rely on mild or medium covering concealers such as Shiseido Perfecting Stick Concealer. Becca's Ultimate Coverage Concealing Creme is also lightweight with medium coverage. You can find out more about concealer application in this post.
If you want to diminish the color and create a seamless starting point for concealer and foundation, then try out color correctors – blueish tones correct with tones of salmon and for yellow tones use lavender concealers.
Refresh the overall look, not just the dedicated area with highlighters, as they will give extra light to the entire area and your entire face. For this occasion, I recommend a cult classic from which I do not separate - YSL Touche Eclat.
One of the long-lasting techniques is the use of derma rollers with very thin needles because of the sensitive area. Derma rollers create surface microscopic wounds that stimulate the natural production of collagen that regenerates and tightens the skin during healing. This is done on the thickness of the skin, which makes the blood less noticeable and the sharp lines faded. You can also use products that can improve the look of the entire area of the treatment you can make at home. Focus on products that contain vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. You can try Novexpert Radiance Lifting Cream Eye Cream, which contains vitamin C but also hyaluronic acid.
