The killer question: How to get rid of dark circles in 5 minutes?

1. Lightening the colour of dark circles

When applying your day cream, be careful to avoid the dark circles, and instead, lightly apply Arnica Cicabio Bioderma (half a pea size is enough) on the area. Amélie explains that she usually uses the cream, packed with soothing and restorative powers, to reduce and mitigate the bluish tinge on dark circles. She allows the product to penetrate for 2 minutes and removes the excess, if necessary, using a tissue before applying concealer. The result works on greyish or purplish circles just as well as it does on the bluish ones. Superb!

2. Reducing the bags under the eyes

In order to eliminate puffiness under the eyes, Amélie uses cornflower water spray. The ideal is to spray some on a cotton pad before applying under the eye. Leave it to stand for twenty minutes, or at least a few moments if you are pressed for time. It is cool and refreshing, and the results are immediate!  Amélie’s advice – the colder it is, the better it works. So to save time and further facilitate the removal of bags under your eyes, slip your floral cornflower spray into the fridge before use!
