A WOMAN revealed the steps she took to tackle the dark circles under her eyes.
As well as sharing the budget buy she swears by for brightening, the beauty pro also demonstrated the trick she uses to find the right product.
In her viral video, TikTok user Ofelia (@ofeemi7) showed her followers the dark circles under her eyes that concealer couldn’t even hide.
She explained that she can now go makeup-free thanks to a beauty buy that brightened her under eyes.
The TikToker revealed that she finally found an eye serum that “actually works.”
You can pick up the Axis-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum is currently available for £9.19 from Yes Style.
The roller-ball dispenser allows for easy and even application across the skin.
According to manufacturers, the “serum is packed with vegan collagen to target wrinkles and 5-Peptide Complex to enhance skin firmness.”
In another clip, Ofelia demonstrated the simple hack she used to identify the best action to take.
She explained that using “the pinch test” helps to identify “which eye cream is the best for you.”
“If it disappears then it’s cause by thinning of the skin,” the beauty expert said.
She showed her audience as she pinched the skin directly under her eyes.
“Use products with collagen, peptides, and ceramides, these improve collagen production to strengthen and thicken the skin,” she explained.
