Treating dark circles

Improving your dark circles from the inside is one of the best methods to boost your appearance. Drinking lots of water, stopping smoking and reducing the amount of salt you eat are just some things you can try.

Using skincare

Using an eye cream can be highly effective in treating dark circles. Those featuring antioxidants and peptides are the best to use. These can also help to reduce puffiness and tired eyes.

Using makeup

Using makeup is a temporary fix but it’s great for hiding any imperfections. A colour correcting concealer is the first step to consider. A peach or red toned concealer will help to disguise dark circles. You can then follow with a traditional brightening concealer to lighten the area. Simply apply in a V shape under the eye and blend out with a sponge or brush. You could also try mixing a concealer with a brightening moisturiser like MAC’s Strobe Cream to enhance radiance. Your overall eye makeup should flatter your complexion without making your eyes appear tired. A light coloured eyeshadow will help to brighten your eyes, while a white or flesh-toned eyeliner applied to the bottom lash line will help to detract from dark shadows. Avoid using too much mascara or brow powder as these can emphasise undereye shadows.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
