Transcript excerpt

0:49 we decided to not promote a single product in this video. So no brand deals, no sponsorships and no affiliate Links. Lets begin. Sadly there are no wonder products and they will tell you ANYTHING to sell you something. There are only two essential products that will actually make a noticeable difference. First off: Sunscreen. The skin around your eyes is super thin and highly vulnerable to UV damage which can actually make dark circles worse and speed up aging. Studies showed that UV exposure breaks down the protein that keeps your skin elastic - called collagen.

1:19 So You should use a good broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 But we would advise choosing an SPF 50 thats specifically designed for the eye area to ensure maximum protection. Regular sunscreen formulas are often too heavy, which can lead to puffy eye bags and the same applies to moisturizers. Daily protection, even if it’s cloudy will make a huge difference in preventing eye bags and dark circles. he second product we recommend is a peptide-based eye cream especially in combination with the method we will discuss later. One of the main reasons for under eye bags is the lack of collagen.
