Dark circles under the eyes do not disappear and often become darker for people of all ages. Although harmless, they can easily decrease your confidence and affect your appearance in daily interactions. Join the doctors’ team at ROHTO AOHAL CLINIC to regain a youthful look through the safest, most effective, and easiest methods to reduce dark circles.
1. CAUSES OF DARK CIRCLES UNDER EYES
Dark circles under the lower eyelids can appear in various colors, such as brown, blue, black, or purple. This condition can affect anyone but is more commonly seen in three groups of people:
Fatigue is often believed to be the main cause of under-eye bags; however, numerous other factors contribute to this issue.
- Skin aging: This is the most common cause, as aging causes the skin to thin and sag. Additionally, the reduction of fat and collagen decreases skin elasticity. This makes the dark blood vessels beneath the skin more visible, making the eyelids darker. Aging also deepens the tear trough, making a face look tired and older.
- Fatigue: Sleeping too much or too little can dull and rough skin. Consequently, the blood vessels under the skin become more noticeable. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to eye bags, which worsens the appearance of tear troughs and dark circles.
- Allergies: When the body reacts to allergies, the eye area can become itchy, red, and swollen. If you rub and scratch the eyes too hard, it can cause bruising and dark circles.
- Using medication to lower intraocular pressure: Medications used to treat glaucoma, such as latanoprost and bimatoprost, can cause dark circles, typically appearing about 3-6 months after starting the medication.
- Eye Strain: Working long hours in front of a computer screen or watching TV excessively can tire the eyes, increase blood vessels in the eyelids, and make them darker.
- Dehydration: When the body is dehydrated, the skin on the eyelids becomes thin and saggy, revealing the blood vessels underneath and increasing pigmentation around the eye area.
- Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to sunlight without skin protection can increase pigmentation around the eyes, leading to dark circles.
- Genetics: Several studies have shown a link between dark circles and family genetics. Under-eye circles can appear from an early age and either darken or lighten as one grows older.
- Anemia: A study found that 50% of individuals with anemia will have under-eye circles. They may also experience pale skin, fatigue, and rapid breathing.
- Unhealthy Lifestyle: Unhealthy lifestyle factors such as smoking and frequent alcohol consumption can also cause dark circles under the eyes.
2. HOME REMEDIES TO REDUCE DARK CIRCLES
Under-eye circles can be reduced, and the brightness of the skin around the eyes can be improved by following these home remedies:
-
Get enough sleep: Sleeping helps the body rest and regenerate new cells, improving blood circulation in the face, thus gradually reducing dark circles under the eyes.
-
Drink enough water: Adequate hydration keeps your body moisturized, making the facial skin look fresh and vibrant and reducing dark circles significantly.
-
Elevate your head while sleeping: This position helps prevent morning eye puffiness caused by fluid retention.
-
Use eye cream: Prioritize using eye creams or serums formulated explicitly with vitamin A and vitamin C to reduce dark circles and wrinkles and increase elasticity around the eyes.
-
Applying cold tea bags for 10-20 minutes: Green tea bags contain antioxidants, vitamins C, E, B2, and zinc and anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties that help diminish under-eye circles and promote skin renewal around the eyes.
-
A cold compress on the eyes for 20 minutes: Applying a cold compress helps reduce swelling and constrict dilated blood vessels, effectively reducing under-eye bags and dark circles.
-
Eat fruits to prevent dehydration: Water-rich fruits provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that improve healthy skin tone, addressing pigmentation issues around the eyes.
-
Use concealer to cover dark circles: This is a temporary solution to even out skin tone under the eyes for important events when you need to look presentable.
