My eyes look like dark holes that lead to the abyss. So naturally I’ve been trying lots of products to help minimize this. I spoke with my dermatologist and learned I can’t really get rid of my dark circles - no one can. The presence of dark circles is due to stress, lack of sleep, fluid buildup, genetics, and…aging. As we age, our skin loses its volume. Because the area under the eye has very thin skin to begin with, it gets even thinner with age. It’s easier to see blood vessels and eye socket outlines. Any product that claims to get rid of dark circles is misleading you. Products can “reduce the appearance” of circles by color-correcting, de-puffing, etc. But the only cosmetic way to get rid of them is to get fillers. I haven’t done that yet - but if you have, I’d love to hear about your experience! * * Anyways, back to my picture. This is my current eye routine. The Patchology patches cool and hydrate. The Tula serum does the same thing - it has a metal applicator. The Elemis serum helps firm up skin and reduce wrinkles. I just got this recently, so I can’t speak to it’s potency. I do like that it absorbs quickly and wears well under makeup. The Kiehl’s eye cream is incredibly hydrating. I use that in the morning. I use C-Tango from Drunk Elephant in the evening. It can pill if you use too much. So I typically don’t wear it under makeup. C-Tango has vitamin C, which helps brighten and reduce coloration. If you have an eye product that you love, please tell me about it! I haven’t found my “holy grail” yet. http://liketk.it/2zYFL #liketkit @liketoknow.it
