5 SKINCARE MISTAKES THAT HAD MY DARK CIRCLES AGING ME 10 YEARS
By Lorraine M. · 58, Atlanta, GA · October 2026
For 10 years, people wouldn't stop gossipping about my dark circles.
At church: "You feeling okay, sister?"
At work: "Rough night?"
But my sister-in-law was the worst.
Every holiday, she'd look at me and say, "Girl, you look ROUGH."
I'd smile like it didn't hurt. Then I'd go home and stare at myself in the mirror.
Then a dermatologist told me to drop my 7-step routine and do this 1 thing before bed.
1. I TRIED TO COVER PROBLEMS WITH MAKEUP
Concealers covered my dark circles for a few hours. By lunchtime, the dark bags were back.
Concealer that cracked and looked cakey by lunchtime. Dark spots that showed through my makeup.
Once, a cashier even handed me a concealer I hadn't asked for.
2. I USED RETINOL AND HYDROQUINONE
Retinol made my skin dry, itchy, and flaky.
Hydroquinone didn't work for me either.
She explained that some strong products can irritate darker skin.
And that irritation can make dark spots look even worse.
3. I SPENT $155 ON AN EYE CREAM
Then I spent $155 on an eye cream.
I used every last drop. No change.
I spent hundreds of dollars on skincare that didn't work.
4. I ALMOST SPENT $3,200 ON LASER TREATMENTS
I was so desperate, I almost spent $3,200 on laser treatments.
But before I paid, I went to see a dermatologist.
And what she told me changed everything.
5. I WAS DOING TOO MUCH TO MY SKIN
Her name's Dr. Simone Adeyemi.
She looked at my complicated, multi-step skincare routine and shook her head.
"You're doing too much to your skin."
Then she said something I'll never forget...
"Sometimes, the best thing you can do for your skin is use LESS."
I'd spent years adding new products. But maybe I needed to take some away.
The ONE Thing To Do Before Bed
That night, I cleared out my old creams. The retinol. The hydroquinone. That useless $155 jar. I kept my cleanser and added one little bottle.
A few drops before bed. Rub it in gently for 45 seconds. Then go to sleep. That's it.
In 3 weeks, my dark circles looked lighter. I barely reached for my thick concealers.
By 5 weeks, my undereyes looked smoother. My makeup stopped cracking and caking.
After 8 weeks, my undereyes looked brighter, my fine lines looked softer, and even my dark jawline spots looked lighter.
At my granddaughter's graduation, I stood in the front row. And after the ceremony, my sister-in-law pulled me aside.
"Girl, which doctor did you go to?"
