Tired? Honestly, same. In full transparency, we don’t always get a good night’s sleep as often as we’d like, which often leads to dark circles and puffy under-eyes. But just because we missed out on our eight hours doesn’t mean that we can’t fake it ’til we make it. Enter: the very important (but often overlooked) eye cream. Our delicate under-eye area needs some extra love and attention because, aside from dark circles, this thin and sensitive area of our skin often ages faster than any other part of our body.
