No more problems around the eyes!

“Oulala Carole, you really look tired!”

The famous phrase that no one wants to hear on the day you don't wear concealer. No matter how much we try to hide them with makeup, put cold spoons under our eyes or even cucumbers, dark circles and bags persist and are our worst enemies. But why do we have them?

The eye area is dotted with a multitude of blood capillaries. With certain factors like fatigue and stress, the ability of blood capillaries to contract to distribute blood decreases. As a result, the blood stagnates. Due to the thinness of the skin around the eyes, the blood is visible through transparency, which creates bluish circles. Brown dark circles, however, are caused by an accumulation of melanin, the skin pigment. This phenomenon is more present in people with dark skin.

Just like bluish dark circles, fatigue, stress, alcohol and tobacco reduce lymphatic drainage around the eyes. The lymphatic system serves to eliminate toxins and circulate hormones and nutrients. Thus, water escapes from the lymphatic network and sits under the eyes, creating bags. These can also be created by an accumulation of fat under the eyes. This accumulation is not necessarily due to a poor diet, but rather to the movement of the fatty tissue supporting the eyelids under the eyes as we age.

Now that we understand where dark circles and bags come from, it's easier to understand how to get rid of them. A good night's sleep may not be enough to make your dark circles disappear. Fortunately, our new Vaillante eye contour is your best friend.

Highly concentrated in active ingredients, it acts as much on the signs of aging as on dark circles and bags. In fact, it contains extracts of horse chestnut and dates which promote blood microcirculation, thus reducing the appearance of bluish dark circles . It also contains quinoa extract which stimulates collagen production while reducing the appearance of puffiness . This new eye contour made from 97% ingredients of natural origin will restore radiance to your eyes without compromising your look (we agree that cucumbers on the eyes are not super sexy).

Bye bye tired eyes!
