Dark Circles?

Do you have dark circles under your eyes and would like quick fix tips? 

Well... it is first important to identify the cause behind your dark circles. Some causes are fixable and some, like family genes, are unfortunately not. Some of the causes behind dark under eye circles are, if you aren't getting enough sleep, you have allergies, you are always rubbing your eyes, or if you are bloated from smoking or drinking excessively. 

Some simple solutions to your problem are...
1. Use an eye cream with vitamin K - minimizes clotting, helping to lighten blood vessels
2. Cover eyes with chilled black tea bags - cool water and caffeine combo constricts blood vessels and lessens blue tones
3. Camouflage shadows - try using a sheer concealing cream that has yellow tones to mask dark circles 
4. Sleep with your head slightly elevated - you'll prevent fluid from collecting under your eyes, which creates shadows
5. Drink enough water - staying hydrated will plump the under-eye skin and help obscure blueness
