Who else was up all night cheering on Hong Kong’s athletes at the Paris Olympics? While the games were exciting, our skin might be paying the price. Dark circles are a common side effect of late nights, but did you know there are different types? Let’s dive into the causes and find out how to get rid of those pesky panda eyes.
Vascular Dark Circles Caused by Poor Blood Circulation

Hollow Under-Eye Circles and Sunken Eyes
Characterized by a sunken look in the eye area, which creates a shadow effect that gives the under-eyes a darker appearance.
They are typically caused by either genetically deep-set eye sockets or the natural loss of fat and collagen around the eyes as we age. This results in a hollowing of the eye socket and the formation of fine lines, which contribute to the darkened appearance.

How to Improve Dark Circles
Lifestyle Adjustments: Regular exercise and staying hydrated can improve sleep quality, boost metabolism, and maintain skin elasticity. Reducing screen time, especially before bed, can help prevent eye strain and reduce the pressure on the eyes.
Eye Area Hydration: Choose highly moisturizing eye care products to quickly replenish hydration in the delicate under-eye area.
Sun Protection: Select a gentle yet effective sunscreen that won’t irritate the sensitive skin around the eyes.
Warm Compresses and Massage: Apply a warm compress to the eyes after cleansing to improve blood circulation. Gently massage the eye area with an eye cream or serum using upward and outward strokes to relax the muscles and promote product absorption.
