Before we introduce you to our wonder workers, let’s understand what leads to dark circles.
What Are Dark Circles?
Dark circles are black, purple or brown hollows under the eyes. Their colour varies in people of different skin tones.
Dark circles are nothing but enlarged blood vessels in the under-eye area that become conspicuous due for different reasons. Ahead, we list the most common triggers for the same -
What Causes Dark Circles?
Here are the different reasons for dark circles
Collagen loss
As you grow older, your skin becomes thinner. This natural change enhances the appearance of dilated blood vessels in the under-eye area.
Dehydration
Dehydrated skin appears pale on the outside, involuntarily underlining dark circles on your face.
Pigmentation
Exposure to harmful UV rays can increase melanin production, leading to the appearance of dark circles
What Is Puffiness Of The Eyes?
Puffiness occurs when there is substantial swelling around the eyes. This may hand-in-hand with redness, itchiness, and bags under the eyes.
What Causes Puffy Eyes?
There can be a flurry of reasons for puffy eyes. Ahead, we list the common ones
Lack of sleep
Not getting enough REM sleep? Be rest assured they your eyes will be puffy the next morning. You can use cold compress or tea bags to alleviate this inflammation. Or even better – place your trust in Foxtale’s efficacious under-eye formulas.
Ageing
For the unaware, Collagen production dips as you age. This makes your skin loose and thinner, allowing fat to move in the under-eye area. Results? Puffy eyes that make you look exhausted and overworked.
Diet
Foods with high Sodium content cause water retention, leading to puffy eyes with under bags. If you struggle with puffy eyes, we recommend cutting the intake of alcohol, soft drinks, fast food and more.
Genetics
Folks can be genetically predisposed to developing puffy eyes and under eye bags.
Dehydration
If you are perpetually dehydrated, chances are that your eyes appear puffy or swollen. Your skin tries to retain every moisture molecule, resulting in accumulated fluids in the under-eye area.

How To Add An Eye Treatment In Your Daily Routine?
Wondering where to add eye treatment to your daily routine? We are here to help. You can model your daily skincare after this simple yet efficacious 5-step ritual.
1. Start with cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser to dislodge dirt, grime, and other impurities from your skin. If you have dry or sensitive skin, we recommend using the Hydrating Face Wash. It boasts Sodium Hyaluronate and Red Algae Extract that improve your skin’s water-holding capacity. Alternatively, for oily or combination skin, try Foxtale’s Acne Control Face Wash. Salicylic Acid at the heart of this cleanser removes excess oil, reduces acne, and soothes inflammation with regular use.
2. Use treatment: Next, use a result-oriented serum to address underlying skin concerns. If you grapple with spots and pigmentation, we recommend our emollient-rich Vitamin C Serum. Similarly, try Niacinamide for oil control, AHA BHA for acne prevention, HA for intense hydration, and Tranexamic Acid serum for a uniform complexion.
3. Apply Moisturizer: After the treatment absorbs completely, apply a generous amount of moisturizer on your face. A potent moisturizing formula creates a protective barrier on the dermis to seal hydration and treatment. For dry skin, we recommend using the Hydrating Moisturizer by Foxtale. It contains Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Olive Oil, and Ceramides that improve your skin’s water-holding capacity. For oily or combination skin, try our Oil Free Moisturizer. This Niacinamide-infused formula cuts oil, calms inflammation and prevents breakouts.
4. Time for eye treatment: Next, take a pea-sized amount of the cream (or gel) and apply it on the problem areas.
5. Lastly, apply two fingers’ worth of SPF on your face and neck. A potent sunscreen shields the skin against harmful UV rays, preventing episodes of pigmentation, photoaging, burns and tanning. Try Foxtale’s Dewy Sunscreen for dry skin, our Mattifying Sunscreen for oily skin and our beloved Glow Sunscreen to enhance your skin’s latent brightness.
