Everyone has faced problems with dark circles, whether after a tiring day or due to an intense routine. After all, who has never experienced this? To help you reduce the discomfort caused by this problem, we spoke with beautician Regina Ferraz and gathered some valuable tips. The good news? Yes, there is a quick way to reduce dark circles.
According to the expert, several factors could be responsible for this discomfort. This is because dark circles are the result of blood vessels in the area moving faster, which increases blood supply and darkens the lower eyelid.
Furthermore, there are two main types of dark circles: occasional and genetic. As the name suggests, the first type is caused by factors such as poor sleep, allergies or a cold.
Genetic dark circles require special attention because they tend to get worse over time. In this case, the ideal is to invest in cosmetic products with decongestant action, which help to reduce the dark complexion in the area, and to consult a dermatologist for specific advice.
Care
To prevent the appearance of dark circles, adopting healthy habits is essential. The ideal is:
- Sleep about eight hours a night;
- Reduce salt consumption;
- Drink plenty of water;
- Maintain a balanced diet.
Although there is no treatment that can permanently eliminate dark circles, dermatologists offer procedures that can alleviate the problem and improve the appearance of the area.
Tips for dressing up every day
If dark circles insist on appearing, you can use a concealer combo. Check out the step-by-step guide to effectively covering dark circles:
- Start with a clean, moisturized face and apply foundation all over your face to even out your skin.
- On the lower eyelid, apply a green concealer which helps camouflage blood vessels.
- Apply orange concealer, ideal for neutralizing the gray tint of dark circles.
- Finish with a concealer that matches your skin tone, tapping gently for a natural finish.
- If you wish, add a touch of highlighter under the eyes, but use sparingly to avoid overdoing it.
With these tips, you can minimize dark circles and ensure a more rested and even look!
