You’ve done it again, had a late night and now your eyes are worse for wear. Isn’t it enough that you’ve suffered all night long? Now you have to wear bags under your eyes – and no, they’re not Gucci. I always use these tips and tricks to banish my eye bags when I’ve been up too late on a Netflix bender (who’s with me?) and I can honestly say as well as cooling my eyes down and banishing those bags, it actually wakes me up!
First, wake yourself up with a spritz of cold water!
When I first wake up, I use a cold flannel on my face. It might seem like a bit of an obvious tip but it’ll wake you up and constrict those blood vessels. I know we’re getting technical, but this is the absolute best way to constrict blood vessels and reduce dark tones.
Next, I do a little massage
Bobbi Brown Hydrating Eye Cream available here.
Doesn’t this seem like part of a spa treatment? I use Bobbi Brown’s Hydrating Eye Cream. You might think you don’t need an eye cream, but trust me, this is my favorite for a reason. It works super fast to give you hydrated and moisturized eyes.
I find that it’s not enough just to pat it in, so I follow the six-point eye massage, basically, you need to use your middle fingers and press down on the corners of your outer eye. Then move on to the center of your lower eye, then again to the inner corners. Now move up to press to the top inner corner of your eyebrow, then again with the center of your brow, to follow on to your outer corner of your brow. Repeat this as many times as you want! I do it for around two minutes and am basically ready to go out of the door afterward.
After my makeup, I use this genius trick
Clinique All About Eyes Serum available here.
Ok, I’m about to share my secret with you. I have a Clinique product that I seriously love. I even bring it to work with me in my bag. So even if I feel like sleeping on the way to work, by the time I get to the office I look super fresh.
It’s the Clinique ‘All About Eyes’ depuffing serum. Even if I forget to do the other steps, I make sure I remember to roll this genius little ball under my eyes. The metal is so cold and fresh, and it actually brightens over time, so the more you use it, the better your eyes will look. Buy it here.
Ready to banish those eye bags? I hear green tea bags in the fridge also works well – has anyone tried it?
