One of the most important organs of our body is our skin, and most people are always looking to improve its look with cosmetics and anti aging creams. Dark circles under eyes are a common beauty problem. These under eye dark circles give us an appearance of tiredness or illness.
There are different theories and expert opinions on what are the causes of dark circles. However, there are a few reasons that are known to be common:
- Contrary to popular believe fatigue does not make dark circles under the eyes.
- If others in your family have dark circles then there are chances are you will be getting dark circles under your eyes.
-Nasal congestion does make them appear because when the nose is congested, the veins drain from your eyes and become wider and darker.
- Exposure to sun light increases the level of pigmentation and cause tanning. The same thing applies for the skin under the eyes. When skin under the eyes gets exposed to sun it tans and appears darker.
-Medications which cause dilation of blood vessels cause dark circles. Dilated blood vessels allow more blood to flow through them and these blood vessels look prominent through under the eye skin which is very thin.
-Poor nutrition leads to paleness of skin and under eyes dark circles.
- Eyelids swelling because of sleep is another common cause. Gravity can cause fluids to build up in your lower eyelids.
-Hormonal Imbalances during pregnancy, menstruation, menopause, etc can cause paleness of the skin and which leads to the appearance of dark circles.
- Dark circles can also be the result of chronic skin conditions like atopc eczema.
The good news is that there are creams and over the counter products that can help you get rid of dark circles, bags and puffiness. Those who have dark circles can wash their face often and apply moisturizers with vitamin E. This can induce the natural healing of the skin. However you have to look for products, creams and lotions that are certified and made of natural ingredients that can be used by any type of skin. Wear sunglasses when you go out.
You can also some home remedies. You can grate a cucumber and squeeze the fresh juice out of the gratings. Dip two cotton balls in it and keep these cotton balls on the
eyes. This relaxes eyes and relieves tiredness of your eyes. This is considered as one of the best remedies for dark circles. You can also try this with potato. Another home solution you can try is chamomile: make tea and when cool use either cotton or the teabags on your eyes. My grandmother recommends using cotton balls soaked in rose water.
