If you wanna get rid of dark circles and eye bags, then this video is for you.
Hi guys, how are you? I'm Robin. Welcome back to my YouTube channel and welcome to this
new video. Now, this is a question I get asked a lot, which is how to get rid of dark circles
and eye bags and it's something that I know I've suffered with especially after a heavy
night or I've not gotten enough sleep or I'm just feeling a bit down. So I thought I would
tackle it in this one. Now, if you're new to my channel, you've not yet pressed subscribe

Now, you might not know but dark circles and eye bags are actually two very distinct things.
Dark circles are actually called periorbital hyperpigmentation which is quite literally
a discolourisation around the eyes whereas the swelling of the eyes is more the eye bags,
and that really is a sort of puffiness. Now, looking at the things that you can do, really
the stuff that won't cost you a penny all the way up to some of my absolute favourite
creams. Now the first one is about cold compress. A cold compress will quite literally take
the heat off the skin. You know that if you've had an accident, if you've hurt your knee
from running or whatever it might be, putting something cold will take that swelling down
and it works exactly the same on ur face. You can go with something like cucumber if
you wanna keep it as I say, cheap or you can buy something like eye masks. And guys, as
with all of these, I've linked some of my favourite products down below and there's
also a full article on ManForHimself.com with a range of things really, from cheap to premium
on there. As you know, prevention is better than cure
and ensuring that we've got a good diet and we're well hydrated will ensure that we can
prevent dark circles and eye bags. Now, they say we should have at least 13, yes 13 cups
of water a day to keep our bodies fully hydrated. And then into diet, you really wanna be looking
at upping that iron. So look at stuff like red meat, also fish, good beans and also things...even
as...like kale, so in something like a smoothie in the morning. But guys, if you do want specific
foods, again, all on ManForHimself.com in a little note down below.
Sleep is literally the greatest cure for everything. You know as I said it's the time for our bodies
to repair, to remove all the toxins. So upping that sleep time will help you. And again guys,
it costs you absolutely nothing. And linked to that, before you go to bed we should all
be cleansing. Any of this sort of dirt on our eyes, around it will attract free radicals.
So basically stuff that will damage the skin. It will also pull in a lot of that darkness
and the dehydration so ensure that you're cleansing at nights. So really using a face
wash, a cleanser just to remove everything, especially in and around the eyes. Be really
careful though because this is really thin skin.
The other one is all about cosmetics. You know a lot of you guys are starting...I say
a lot of you guys, some of you guys are no more open to cosmetic products, really stuff
that is more about the aesthetic. So, concealer products there's a couple ones that I use,
you know, just under the eyes just to remove some of that darkness. And again I'll link
to my favorite brand. I always go on about Menaji. I think it's really great and there's
different shades so you'll always find something that suits you. And keeping it simple with
moisturisers and I've talked about this before, but use a moisturiser with an SPF or even
better use an SPF separately. This is going to help to protect that skin, especially around
the eyes from damage from the sun. Or you could be using retinal treatments which is
a vitamin A that helps to smooth the skin and also help to hydrate it. Retinal is really
something I want to discuss more on this channel so if you guys are keen, let me know and we'll
do a full dedicated video to it. Also, hyaluronic acid which our skin naturally produces. This
really keeps our skin hydrated. You can also get products to really up that kick and really
retain the moisture and up the hydration. But you'll find that loads of these solutions
come in various creams, lotions, potions, serums. It's actually a minefield. I feel
like there's some sort of under eye cream that is launched every single week. But again,
I have linked in my favorites on ManForHimself.com and also down below. But even looking at these
here, there's two here by Clinique that I absolutely love. One that I keep in the fridge
because it's got this metallic rollerball so when it's cool it feels so good - that's
my nose, not my eye - under the eye there. But again by Clinique you've got something
a lot creamier, slightly heavier and it's their Pep-Start one here. So, if you need
that instant kick in the morning this is great. Another one sort of one that I love is Kiehl's,
the avocado under eye. It is amazing. I love it so much, but I finished it; I need to get
another one. But there's various things across budgets, and I think from the Bulldog ones
which are cheaper all the way up to something like a La Roche-Posay or La Mer. So, you'll
find something that suits you. It is a trial and error. Hopefully not error, because I've
given you the tips there and the extreme treatments which I feel like I would never recommend.
But you guys know your minds and I'm sure you will do research. Obviously the stuff
like fat transfers, micro needling, chemical skin peels, and other stuff which really does
just make my eyes water, but I've got all of those plus the stuff I've spoken about,
plus some my favorite creams on ManForHimself.com and linked down below so do check them out.
