One of the ingredients you should look out for in an eye product is caffeine. That's right, the same caffeine in an aromatic cup of coffee.
If your eye bags are due to water retention, caffeine can help to dehydrate the area, diminishing the bags. Don't worry that the skin around your eyes will become dry and flaky, as eye creams usually contain moisturising ingredients that keep the skin hydrated and supple. Puffy eyelids will also benefit from an eye cream with caffeine. For those with water retention programs, it is best not to drink a lot of water just before you sleep, as the many hours of lying horizontally can cause water to collect under your eyes, resulting in the dreaded eye bags. Remember that caffeine in your eye cream can help remedy the problem, but you must also take steps to prevent it from happening in the first place.
Caffeine can also help in micro-circulation in the under eye area, which can help greatly reduce the appearance and intensity of dark eye circles. This is because most dark circles are caused by the dilation of blood vessels below the eyes, thus giving a bluish or purplish appearance. Therefore dark circles are usually more prominent in individuals who have thinner skin, or have a pale complexion.
So the next time you shop for an eye cream, make sure you take a good look at the ingredient list first!
