Runway Ready Beauty – Spotlight on Dark Circles

With London Fashion week in full swing, from the front row to late night fashion parties, dark circles are the beauty buzzword.

Lack of sleep is often cited as one of the most important causes of these under eye concerns. As even our founder, Dr. Maryam Zamani confirms “Without adequate sleep, the blood vessels around the thin periorbital skin around our eyes dilate & stay tortuous, becoming visible as dark circles.”

What we must understand is that dark circles can be caused by a lot of factors. While lack of sleep is an important cause, factors such as skin ageing, dehydration, eye strain, skin allergies, lifestyle, diet or even genetics also play an important role. Thus, an extra dose of care for our eyes should begin with simple changes on our end.

Important remedies can be as simple as

1. Drinking plenty of fluids, water to stay hydrated
2. Using Retinoids, especially if you have thin skin, that help improves overall quality and health of the skin and reduces discoloration
3. Cooling the under-eye area using tea bags, cold spoons

Additionally, topical application can also help treat and conceal these bad boys to make our eyes look bright and healthy. MZ Skin’s famous dark circle duo that comprises of Hydra-Bright Golden Eye Treatment Masks and Depuff & Define contains collagen and seaweed to brighten dark circles, restore hydration, and soothe the area under the eye.
