Skincare for tired, puffy eyes and dark circles

When it comes to tired eyes and racoon dark circles, sleep is actually the cure but also eating healthy and not smoking! Puffy eyes and dark circles can be also inherited or caused by stress, allergies, edema or an actually eye fatigue, sinus problems and too much salt in your diet. Most of these factors can not be addressed or improved fully by topical skincare treatments, and you might have to consult a doctor.

I personally don't like to cover my under-eye area with a thick layer of concealer and I prefer to treat this skin issue, to ease the appearance of darkness around my eyes and also to keep the skin under my eyes well moisturized.
There are a lot of skincare options out there and all you have to do is to find the right ones for you. Here are some of my favorite skincare products to address tired eyes and dark circles.

1.The Ordinary Caffeine solution 5% + EGCG - a lightweight serum that can help to improve the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. 1 drop is enough for both eyes, gently masage it around the orbital bone and follow up with an eye cream if you feel like you need extra moisture. Cruelty free and vegan.

2. Yummylicious Serum is eco friendly, pure, organic, all natural and made of the finest botanical ingredients, collagen and vitamins to put life back into your skin, excellent for people with dry/sensitive skin. Works excellent for the eye area- review for this serum here. Cruelty free.
