The solution to dark undereyes

For the most part, I was blessed with good genetics on the skincare front (thanks mom!)

But there is one thing I struggle with – dark circles under my eyes. I get plenty of sleep, and my aesthetician tells me that sometimes this is caused by thinner skin under the eyes, aging, and genetics.

Marine and plant-based products are great for this because they contain natural collagen-boosting properties. The more collagen your skin produces, the more plump, supple and full it will appear. It also helps restore elasticity and gives that thin skin an extra nutritional boost. Here are three products I’ve been using simultaneously and noticing brighter skin!

Origins Plantscription™ Anti-aging eye treatment, $42.50

Plantscription™ Anti-aging eye treatment is formulated with Anogeissus Tree Bark and Kombucha (fermented Black Tea), which offer strong collagen-boosting benefits. This potent combination of ingredients ultimately helps restore elasticity to the eyes for brighter skin. You just dab around eye area with fingertip in the AM and PM, and in between if you can.

Seaflora Potent Seaweed Serum, $56

Just look at all of the amazing ingredients this serum packs: wild organic seaweed, witch hazel, aloe vera leaf juice, rosehip seed oil, emulsifying wax, Vitamins E and C, cranberry, blueberry and and raspberry extracts. Specifically, the Certified Organic Iridaea seaweed firms, tones and boosts skin with antioxidants. The rosehip oil to reduces inflammation and irritation. The Certified Organic Ulva Lactuca seaweed refines pores. With all of those antioxidants and nutrients, there’s no way your skin couldn’t get an instant boost. I’ve been using this for about six weeks and can feel my skin drinking it up. It’s a great replenishment after cleansing at night, and we love that the product is certified organic by this British Columbia company, whose owner handpicks seaweeds from the Pacific Ocean!

Eyedews under eye gel pads, $25 for six pairs

These are one-time eye treatments (sort of like a pair of cucumber slices, but better). I used them after a night of drinking to brighten my eyes and give them a cool boost, but you could also use them before an event or in the bath (ahhhhh). Eyedews are jelly pads of natural marine collagen infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Chitosan and Vitamins C & E to combat free radical imbalance, sun damage, discoloration, and dry skin. Best used in a nice, quiet place while lying down.
