The best eye masks for dark circles, Waiting On Martha

My eyes have really begun starting to show my age.  Dark circles, puffy, under-eye bags; I’m not a fan.  So naturally, fighting signs of eye fatigue is a top priority for me in my beauty routine.  Over the past few years, I’ve found a few key products that put up a fight when I need it the most. Below, you’ll find my go-to’s, and hopefully others who also struggle with signs of eye fatigue—no matter what age—will find this post helpful.  Let me know in the comments below!  Truly, MKR

Sleep.  It sounds like a no brainer, but sleep really is the best way to fight eye fatigue.  Being a light sleeper I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve for getting a few more z’s, they go something like this: silk pillow case, eye mask and most importantly my essential oils diffusing through the night.  Oh and no electronics at least 30 minutes before bed always makes shut eye come a lot easier.

One Love Organics Vitamin E Eye Balm

Waiting on Martha, $49

Shop Now >

A good eye balm or cream is key to fighting the signs of eye aging, and trust me when I say I’ve tried them all.  From the $200+ jars to the $5 drugstore buys and after years of searching I’ve finally settled on One Love Organics Vitamin E Eye Balm.  A powerful blend of Vitamin E, Organic Shea Butter, Pomegranate, and Sea Kelp make this balm my absolute favorite!  Not to mention is wallet friendly and will last you at least 6 months if not more…that’s how little you need to use! Plus 100% of it’s ingredients are from a natural source, no chemicals for us please!  Pair it with Morning Glory Caffeinated Serum and I promise you’ll see a dramatic difference!

Eye Mask

SK-II, $115

Shop Now >

I’ve tried MANY eye masks, both expensive and inexpensive, but I still keep coming back to my tried-and-true favorite SK-II. This is the best eye mask for dark circles and under-eye bags, hands down.  Everything SK-II is remarkable and yes, it’s a pretty penny, but if you do want to splurge, I’d suggest going this route.  

Touch Eclat

Yves Saint Laurent, $42

I’ve worn this illuminator (in its lightest shade, #1) for years; it’s the final step in erasing under my eye circles and dark spots.  When buying, be sure to one color lighter than you would normally go; you need this to illuminate as well as blend.  While this has always been my go-to for years, I admit I recently tried beautycounter’s similar Touchup Skin Concealer Pen (and it may give YSL a run for its money!). 

All About Eyes De-Puffing Eye Roller

Clinique, $30

Shop Now >

Talk about a tried and true product, I’ve been using this for at least 6 years now, and I can’t imagine my morning routine without it.  Roll this on before your moisturizer, serums, oils and/or eye creams to help specifically with the puffiness.
