3 Ways to Get Rid of Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

The other day I realized something a little disheartening.

I don’t even remember what it feels like to not feel tired. Literally.

I look at pictures of my old self from a year ago, before I was pregnant, but after I finally got Zander sleeping through the night. In old pictures I look so put together and energetic. I can’t help but wonder, was that real? Did I ever feel that good?

I have to remind myself that life usually cycles through phases of thriving, and just surviving. Right now I am surviving. That is ok.

It doesn’t mean I love it when I hear the ‘you look tired’ comments. On one hand, it is validating. I am tired. On the other hand:

  • I have had very little sleep
  • I am feeling extra emotional from pregnancy hormones
  • I’m struggling not to feel self-conscious about my changing body
  • And I probably spent 30 minutes just trying to find something that actually fits me this morning…

Tell me I look tired at your own risk. You may just trigger a whole flood of tears and emotions that you aren’t ready to handle. You’ve been warned.

One of the first places I see proof that I have not slept is under my eyes. Those dark circles show up as a physical reminder that I didn’t get enough sleep, as if I didn’t already know. The skin under your eyes is actually thinner than the skin on the rest of your face. It is more dry and delicate. That is why it is the first place you start to see signs of aging and exhaustion. You can improve, and even get rid of the bags under your eyes with some thoughtful care.

There is no way to immediately get rid of dark circles, but within a week or two you can start to see significant results. My tips are designed for busy women who only have a few minutes a day to devote to eye care, but really want to know how to get rid of dark circles under their eyes.

1. Drink More Water

I have mentioned this SO many times on my blog! The first step to skin care should always be staying hydrated. Water plays a huge role in the healthy, glow you want your skin to have. This includes the dark circles under your eyes.

If you have trouble remembering to drink water set 3-4 daily reminders on your phone. The other thing that helps me is buying a new, cute water bottle. The more I like my water bottle the more likely I am to carry it around, and when I have my water bottle nearby I impulsively drink a lot more.

2. Implement a Simple Daily Skin Care Routine

This step is the most simple. My daily under eye skin care routine takes less than a minute! My skin care routine for how to get rid of dark circles under my eyes is so simple! I use ONE product. I shared that secret weapon last week on Instagram (here), so if you follow me there you already know what I am talking about.

My secret under eye care weapon is the new Olay Eyes Brightening Eye Cream. This cream is made of an innovative blend of ingredients that strengthens and restores health to the skin under your eyes long term, but also provides instant, visually brightening results.

My Olay eye cream is the best eye cream I have tried for bags under eyes. I simply apply a little under each eye twice daily, morning and night. After just a week of use I started noticing the dark circles under my eyes were fading. You can find Olay Eyes Brightening Eye Cream at CVS!

3. Sleep More!

The other two tips for how to get rid of dark circles under your eyes were fairly simple. This one is hard. Especially if you have a demanding job, demanding children, or all of the above.

For me, getting more sleep often starts with an attitude change. Try repeating the following phrases to yourself and see if they have an impact:

You work SO hard.

You’re doing enough.

You deserve more sleep.

I tend to be so hard on myself. My to do list looming over my head often makes me feel like I don’t deserve the sleep I so desperately need. In recent months I have been reminding myself of the above three things. When I feel the exhaustion really setting in I make a concerted effort to close my computer and turn off my phone (to shut out work). I try and go to bed at a decent hour and let go of the guilt.

Of course sometimes deadlines must be met, teething babies must be soothed, and bills must be paid. But often, tasks that feel urgent can wait till the morning.

Get a good night’s sleep, wake refreshed and ready to conquer your to do list with new energy, and start to get rid of the bags under your eyes by sleeping more.
