If our dark circles are more about pigmentation than puffiness, Vitamin C is the way to go. It brightens, boosts collagen, and evens out our skin tone over time.

How to do it: Use a gentle vitamin C serum under the eyes or snack on vitamin C-rich foods like oranges, kiwi, strawberries, or amla.

Golden rule: Always, always wear sunscreen after using vitamin C. Sun damage will undo all our hard work.

A Few Bonus Moves (Because We Deserve Extra)

Sleep 7–8 hours. Non-negotiable.

Drink enough water, our skin can’t look plump if it’s thirsty.

Eat iron-rich foods (like spinach and lentils) to avoid anaemia-related shadows.

Take screen breaks. Our eyes will thank us.

SPF under our eyes every single day. No excuses.
