A Holistic Protocol for Dark Circles and Puffiness


Back-to-school season is upon us which means early alarm clocks, fast-paced mornings, and long, jam-packed days. We live for the hustle too, but sometimes the delicate skin under our eyes just can't keep up (we're all guilty of rocking the "indoor sunglasses" look). Luckily, we have just the tools you need to combat those dark circles and puffy eyes! Read on to discover the causes behind your "raccoon eyes" and which Osmosis products can help you can tackle mornings like a boss and go confidently without those shades all day long.

There are many more causes of dark circles and puffiness than just lack of sleep, and contrary to what you may think, excess caffeine can actually make it worse! So even though you may need multiple cups of coffee to make you feel more awake, it won't necessarily make you look as bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. This common skin condition can also be caused by kidney strain, use of NSAIDs (a.k.a. aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.), anxiety, or heavy stress. So how in the world do we get rid of these pesky "bags"? Our super-simple protocol will do the trick!

Choose a Vitamin A Serum for your skin type.
Vitamin A will help firm and tighten loose or "puffy" skin and is gentle enough to use on the delicate skin around your eye. It increases nutrients, collagen production, and elasticity for overall healthier skin.






Reinforce with a specialty Eye Serum.
Refresh or Refresh PM will serve as back-up to your vitamin A, helping to firm and effectively reduce puffiness, lines, and dark circles. Refresh PM provides an intensely-moisturizing affect to help restore a healthy barrier to the skin around the eye.






Go Internal.
The next step to gaining long-term results and change with your dark circles and puffy eyes is to target the internal source. Inner Harmony helps to harmonize toxins in the organs, such as the kidneys, as well as brings balance to your overall internal functionality. Restore is another excellent tool targeting internal wellness that will repair and replace lost oxygen over time which contributes to those pesky dark circles and other signs of aging in the skin.


Pair these products with a mega increase in your water intake and watch those dark circles fade and the puff deflate! Shop your protocol here.










Osmosis ABC's: D - Dong Quai


Do you ever wonder if there is one ingredient that can make dark under eye circles and allergy prone eye issues simply disappear? We have the answer for you, YES. The best way to lessen the appearance of under eye circles is to increase circulation, and decrease environmental allergy reaction. This is where we shine our Ingredient Spotlight on Dong Quai.

Dong Quai (otherwise known as Angelica Sinesis) is found in Asia. This root, that looks a lot like Celery, is a perennial that blooms in late August. It's root has been used in Chinese medicine for years as its benefits seem too good to be true. Dong Quai, when taken internally, has vast benefits for both male and female reproductive systems, helps treat anemia, and acts as a powerful blood tonic.
BUT when used topically, youth, circulation, and common skin conditions all see powerful benefits. Let's see just what this wonder ingredient can do for you!
