What causes dark circles?

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by a number of factors, including fatigue, stress, lack of sleep, poor diet, dehydration and genetic predisposition. The accumulation of fluid under the eyes, poor blood circulation or skin pigmentation can also contribute to the appearance of dark circles.

The different types of dark circles

There are generally two types of dark circles: blue or purplish circles, caused by poor blood circulation or skin pigmentation, and puffy circles, often associated with water retention or inflammation of the tissues under the eyes. Identifying the type of dark circles you suffer from can help you choose the best treatments to reduce them.

Simple, effective tips for removing dark circles and puffiness under the eyes

Tip 1

Above all, don't skip make-up removal! The pores need to breathe for the skin to regain its suppleness and limit the appearance of puffiness. Opt for a gentle, moisturising make-up remover formulated with concentrated micellar water.

Tip No. 2

Massage around the eye area to stimulate microcirculation and help dark circles and bags under the eyes to disappear. Use roll-on application products that help relieve puffiness in the area around the eyes.

Tip no. 3

Place 2 teaspoons in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, then apply directly to the eyes. The cold helps to boost microcirculation and revive tissues, for a fresh look without dark circles or puffiness.

Tip 4

Choose your concealer carefully. Shades that are too dark tend to accentuate dark circles. To hide dark circles effectively, opt for a concealer half a shade lighter than your skin tone.

Eye focus: taking care of your lashes

Lashes need special attention to keep them healthy, strong and full. Aroma-Zone Black Mascara lash treatment is a dual-action product. Firstly, it envelops each lash to tint it black and make it visibly fuller, but its formula is also enriched with Castor oil, known for its nourishing and fortifying properties. Castor oil has long been recommended for promoting lash growth and strengthening.

Eye focus: taking care of your lashes

For more in-depth action, Aroma-Zone's Night Lash Serum is an intensive treatment. This serum is highly concentrated in Castor oil, but also incorporates other nourishing and restorative ingredients. It is designed to be applied in the evening, after make-up removal, when lashes are most receptive to care. With its precise applicator, it deposits the exact amount of product at the base of the lashes, where they need it most. By using it regularly, you'll not only nourish your lashes, but also strengthen them, make them less brittle and potentially stimulate their growth.

Using these two products together offers a complete routine: mascara for immediate beauty and daily protection, and the serum for in-depth care and long-term results.

A few examples of recipes

Traditional remedies for dark circles

Certain traditional remedies can be effective in reducing the appearance of dark circles. For example, applying green tea or chamomile tea bags brewed and cooled under the eyes can help relieve puffiness in the area and reduce the appearance of dark circles. You can also use slices of cucumber or fig, or compresses soaked in rosewater for their soothing and refreshing effect on the skin under the eyes. Another tip is to put potato slices in the freezer for a few minutes, then apply them to the eyes to reduce swelling and dark circles. Finally, lemons, rich in vitamin C, can help to lighten the skin and reduce dark spots, while coffee grounds, mixed with water or plant oil, can be used as a gentle scrub to exfoliate the skin under the eyes and stimulate blood circulation.
