Add a layer of protection
Just like every inch of skin on your body, you need to apply SPF protection to the skin around your eyes. Too much sun exposure can make your skin aging process go faster — so apply every morning, whether you're going out or staying indoors.

Remove ALL your makeup
Ever wake up looking like a raccoon? Same, sis. It's probably because you weren't able to fully erase those waterproof eyeliner and mascara the night before.

Use a trusty eye makeup remover to make sure you remove all those makeup before you do your eye care regimen and/or sleep. This allows your pores to breathe overnight and your skin to rejuvenate while you sleep.

Brighten up with vitamin C
Now, there are different creams you can use for your eyes. To know which one to use, determine which under eye problem you want to address. If your main concern is dark circles, try something that has a lot of vitamin C. It helps with cellular repair, which brightens your dark spots and strengthens your skin against prevent future damage.

Depuff with caffeine
Now for puffiness, make sure that your eye cream has caffeine. The bags under your eyes are typically caused by a build up of fluids under your skin. The caffeine constricts your blood vessels, which helps to tighten the area. Guess it's not just you who need coffee to stay awake.

Fight fine lines with retinol
Known as a superstar anti-aging ingredient, retinol is similarly great for your undereyes. It removes dead skin cells and boosts collagen production to help rebuild tissue. It also speeds up the cell turnover which deals with discoloration and smoothes the skin. Opt for eye-sensitive retinol if you plan to include one in your skin care routine.

Try: RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream, $23.99
