remove, Diminish and cure dark circles
The basic facts
The skin under our eyes is the thinnest on the body. As we age, the skin covering our eyelids is prone to thinning, which may cause the blood vessels to become more apparent- contributing to the appearance of dark circles and puffiness under the eyes. While unattractive, dark circles generally aren’t considered a health hazard.
Common causes
- Dark circles can be an inherited trait. When blood flows through veins close to the surface of the skin, it can produce a bluish tint. The more transparent your skin is, the darker the dark circle will be.
- Increased fluid retention. Gravity causes fluid to collect in your lower eyelids as you sleep, which may create shadows below your eyes.
- Allergies resulting in blocked sinuses and nasal passages can cause dark circles, as can certain food allergies.
- Tiredness and lack of sleep is one of the common factors that can cause the skin under the eyes to become pale, making the blood vessels visible.
- An imbalanced diet lacking in vitamins and minerals.
- Too much sun exposure can cause pigmentation, wrinkles, thinning of skin, and sagging from loss of collagen and elastic under the eyes.
- Smoking exacerbates photo aging, particularly in women. A direct correlation has been shown between years spent smoking and the severity of wrinkling and grayish skin discoloration. Smoking also causes a loss of tissue elasticity and reduces water content in the skin.
Simple solutions
- Get at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep every night, with your head slightly elevated (when lying flat, gravity causes fluid to collect in your lower eyelids).
- Apply eye cream containing antioxidants that help protect skin, like green tea and grapeseed extracts, and vitamins C, E and K.
- Squeeze fresh cucumber juiced out of a grated cucumber. Dip 2 cotton balls in it, and place them on your eyes for several minutes to relax them and relieve tiredness.
- Eat a diet rich in nutrients, with more fresh fruit and vegetables (for vitamin C and iron), and cut down on salt.
- Quit smoking, as it destroy certain vitamins in the body (especially vitamin C, needed to rebuild skin cells).when combined with a regular intake of coffee and other high-caffeine drinks, it will make dark circles worse.
