Effective Remedies for Dark Circles Around the Eyes

Do your eyes make you look older or more tired than you actually are? If you’re a man who suffers from dark circles or bags under his eyes, you might be nodding your head yes. 

While these conditions are normally more of a cosmetic concern than a true health issue, they can still affect your confidence and self-esteem. While women might be able to swipe on concealer to look instantly awake, there aren’t as many quick-fix options for men dealing with dark circles around their eyes. 

The good news? There are ways to make your problem areas look less noticeable, and our Particle Face Cream is one of them! Today, we’re sharing some steps to try and how to incorporate our product into your daily routine. 

Prioritize Your Rest

The first way to minimize the appearance of dark circles is to simply get more shut-eye at night! In many cases, those features are there because you really are exhausted. However, there’s a catch. 

A lack of sleep doesn’t necessarily make the circles under your eyes darker, nor does it make your eye bags puffier. However, it can pale your complexion, which in turn makes your under-eye area appear more prominent. If you’ve been losing sleep lately, this could be the culprit behind your altered appearance. 

Try winding down a little earlier at night, and creating a routine that you can stick to. Hint: It helps to put your phone away at least 30 minutes before you’re ready to sleep. 

Stay Hydrated and Eat Collagen-Rich Foods

Did you know that diet and hydration can affect the appearance of your under-eye bags and dark circles? If you’re not drinking enough water, dehydration can cause your face to appear paler and more sunken, which can highlight areas of concern. 

In addition to staying hydrated, it’s also smart to fill your plate with collagen-rich foods that can promote a fuller and more even skin tone. Some of the foods that can help your body produce more collagen include: 

• Bone broth
• Chicken
• Seafood
• Egg whites
• Berries
• Citrus
• Leafy greens

Along with collagen, these foods are also rich in vitamin C and hyaluronic acid, both of which can even out your complexion and reduce early signs of aging. 

Start Using a Daily Moisturizer  

When it comes to skincare, are you a simple soap-and-water kind of guy? While there’s nothing wrong with sticking to the basics, you might be surprised to discover what a difference using the right products (or any products) can make. 

You don’t have to overhaul your existing routine, but it is smart to incorporate a moisturizing face cream that can soothe, hydrate, and energize your skin. While there are many different options on the market, why not start with our revolutionary Particle Face Cream?

Make sure to apply the product in a thin layer and give it time to absorb. Use it morning and night for the best results!

Stop Smoking

If you’re noticing dark circles under your eyes, tobacco could be to blame. This is because smoking damages the delicate skin on your face. Not only can it lead to issues such as dehydration, which we already know can intensify skin issues, but it can also break down the collagen in your skin. 

If this happens, your complexion won’t appear as healthy and bright. This can exacerbate your dark circles and make them easier to spot. 

Boost Your Circulation

Another way to keep the skin around your eyes looking healthy and young is to engage in about 30 minutes of moderate exercise each day! This is a great way to boost your circulation, which delivers direct benefits to your complexion. 

For one, working out improves blood flow throughout your body, which nourishes your skin cells. In addition, it also helps flush toxins from your skin and can also decrease early signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. 

Elevate Your Head

You might not give too much thought to your pillow, but it could be hurting the appearance of your skin. If your pillow has worn out and has become flattened, it’s time for an upgrade!

Sleeping flat can cause fluid in your body to pool around your lower eyelids, which can cause your eyes to look puffy in the morning. Add an extra pillow or purchase a more supportive one and see if it makes a difference. 

Reduce Your Dark Circles Around Eyes

Your eyes say a lot about you! They draw people in and are often the first feature someone will look at. Are you putting your best look forward? 

If you’re battling puffy eyes or dark circles, it’s time to re-evaluate your daily regimen. Try to get to bed earlier, stay hydrated, and add a great face cream to your morning and nighttime routine. You can also add new healthy habits such as exercising more or eating collagen-rich food.
