Try an eye massage
Circulation can be increased and lymph drainage can be improved with a quick massage around the eyes. This can lessen inflammation and make your under-eye circles look less noticeable.
Follow these steps to massage your eyes:
- Gently tap a circle around your eyes with the tips of your index and middle fingers. This may enable better blood flow there.
- Starting at the outer edge of your eyes, move your fingertips down over the top of your cheekbones, then inward toward the bridge of your nose.
- With your fingertips, make three circles around your eyes.
- Then, just below your brow bone, press upward with your middle fingers on either side of your nose.
- Then, close to your tear ducts, press inward toward your nose with your middle fingers.
- When moving your fingertips around your eye area, be careful not to pull or drag your skin.
