After dark Tired of people asking if you're tired? If you're getting enough sleep, there's probably another explanation for those shadows. "It may be something you have no control over," says Cohen. Some people have natural shadows that are created by the way their skin folds, while others may have skin so thin that the blood vessels under their eyes show through, he says. Sun damage and nasal congestion can exacerbate the problem.
The solution? Look for plant extracts, such as cocoa berry and blackberry, that have antioxidant properties. "Free radicals can interact with capillaries under your eyes," says Kirk Brierley, training and communications manager for Elizabeth Arden. "Antioxidants help strengthen capillary walls and reduce the appearance of dark circles." Bleaching agents, like hydroquinone, can be helpful if you acquired your shadows by spending too much time in the sun. "They lighten skin by breaking down pigment cells," says Cohen. If all else fails, go for a cream with light-diffusing reflective particles, which create an instant illusion of fewer imperfections. "They soften the appearance of discoloration around the eyes, whether it's due to bluish under-eye circles or excess melanin," says Dr. Beth Jewell-Motz, a senior scientist for P&G Beauty. "The result: more even skin tone."
