You wake up, look in the mirror, and see dark circles under your eyes. But how did that happen? You slept for 8 hours last night — isn’t that enough? There are actually many factors that cause under eye circles but fortunately, there are also many easy fixes.
INSIDER spoke with celeb makeup artists and dermatologists to find out what simple lifestyle changes you can make to reduce those dark circles.
Dr. Anna Guanche, a dermatologist and partner at Bella Skin Institute in Calabasas, is used to performing cosmetic procedures on actors and actresses for whom a youthful look is often a critical part of their marketability. But in recent years, she’s noticed a trend: More and more job seekers outside the entertainment industry are coming in to request Botox, wrinkle fillers and other non-surgical aesthetic enhancements.
“In that effort, we created the “EyeBall,” an annual fundraising gala for our non-profit charity, the Wang Foundation for Sight Restoration for which all participating doctors donate our services. The EyeBall combines the spectacular beauty of ballroom dancing with the critically important need to help the blind to see. When you come to an EyeBall, you see people in ballgowns and tails, and breathtakingly elegant and beautiful ballroom dancing, which reminds us how important it is to have sight since without it, we would not be able to see any of this beauty, so we are reminded of how important it is to help those who have lost their sight. We love that the name “EyeBall” is fun and meaningful, and it is a clever way of combining the beauty of dance and music with the beauty of sight.”
Picture this. You’ve landed in the California desert and are stoked to pitch that tent. You’ve got the lineup pulled up on your phone and you’re arguing with your travel companions about whether you’ll catch Beyoncé’s must-see headlining set or catch a one-of-a-kind performance from Japanese rockers X Japan, who play at the same time. And you still haven’t worked out if you’ll see Portugal. The Man or Kamasi Washington. Mid-argument, out comes the six-pack and now there’s a tougher choice to make.
After months of enduring dry air and chilly temperatures, the land isn’t the only thing that needs some much-needed renewal this spring. We’re talking about your skin. Your face may have kept its radiant glow, but some of us are guilty of neglecting the rest of our body. A crime–really–considering we naturally shed between 30,000 to 40,000 skin cells every hour that, when left unaddressed, build up on the skin’s surface and can lead to ingrown hairs and acne. But not to worry–that’s what exfoliation is for.
