Meet the Best Eye Creams for Dark Circles

In Malaysia, with our busy urban lifestyles and constant use of computers and phones for work and social interactions, it's common to notice the effects on our skin. One concern that can be a true setback when trying to look your best is dark circles under the eyes.

Our beauty experts have multiple solutions for tired eyes. Read on to learn more about what causes those dark circles around your eyes and how to find the best eye cream for dark circles.

The Primary Cause of Tired Eyes

A full night of sleep is becoming an increasingly rare event for all of us, whether it's from a long day at work, an important social event, or perhaps an exciting new television drama. In Malaysia's fast-paced environment, insufficient sleep can lead to dark rings, puffiness, and under-eye bags. Since the skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your face, changes can happen as early as your 20s or 30s. Skin loses luminosity, bounce, and moisture—and the overall effect can make it look as if you constantly require a nap.

Additional Causes of Dark Eye Circles

Exhaustion is extremely visible when it comes to our eyes. If you assume dark circles are exclusively due to sleep deprivation, you may want to reconsider. Various factors contribute to dark eye circles, from lifestyle habits to environmental stressors, aside from not yet incorporating Lancôme’s best under-eye cream into your skincare routine. Here are some additional factors that could be contributing to the appearance of dark circles under your eyes:

- Lack of Sleep: Although lack of sleep is the standard culprit for the dark circles under your eyes, oversleeping can cause them too. Oversleeping causes your skin to become dull and pale, allowing for dark tissues and blood vessels beneath your skin to show.

- Genes: Your genes can play a big role in whether you are likely to have dark eye circles. For example, if you inherited your grandmother’s deep-set eyes, there is a good chance you are more prone to dark under eyes.

- Age: Your age can also amplify the appearance of dark circles around eyes due to the loss of fat and collagen in the skin surrounding the eye area. Because the skin in the eye area is the thinnest, blood vessels are more exposed, creating a darker shadow.

The trick to keeping eyes fresh and youthful is to hydrate and treat them early with eye cream for dark circles. For more information, read our article on what causes dark circles under eyes.
