3 Ways to Stop Dark Circles

Dark circles are one of the most common skincare concerns and one of the trickiest to tackle. While genetics and ageing can play a role, lifestyle habits and skincare choices also have a big impact on how refreshed (or tired) your eyes appear. The good news? With the right routine, you can minimise their appearance and help your under-eyes look brighter and more awake. Here are three things you can start doing today:

1. Prioritise Sleep & Hydration

It might sound simple, but nothing shows up on your face faster than lack of sleep or dehydration. When you’re overtired, blood vessels under the eyes can dilate, creating a darker appearance. Pair that with not drinking enough water and your skin looks duller, thinner, and more shadowed.

2. Use Targeted Skincare with Proven Ingredients

The delicate skin around your eyes deserves specialised care. Ingredients like collagen, green tea extract, and vitamin C are powerhouse actives known for brightening, de-puffing and firming the under-eye area.

These are the hero ingredients in our Eraser Eye Mask, designed to refresh tired eyes in just 20 minutes. Whether you’re prepping for a big day or recovering after a late night, adding these targeted treatments to your routine can make a noticeable difference over time.

3. Protect Your Skin from Daily Stressors

Dark circles aren’t only caused by what’s happening inside your body - external stressors play a role too. Sun damage, pollution and even constant screen time can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and increase pigmentation around the eyes. Always wear SPF (yes, even under your eyes). Incorporate antioxidant-rich skincare and a nutrient-dense diet to support skin resilience from the inside out.

Final Thoughts

There’s no magic trick to banishing dark circles overnight, but small, consistent steps can transform your under-eye area. By combining a healthy lifestyle with targeted skincare, like the antioxidant and collagen-boosting ingredients in our Eraser Eye Mask, you can give your eyes the best chance to look refreshed, bright and awake every day.
