Bright eyes are a sign of a fresh and well-rested healthy person, on the other hand, our minds automatically translate dark circles around eyes as tiredness, lack of sleep and being sick. However, this is not true always and sometimes people who have a regular and adequate amount of sleep and good health still have very prominent dark circles. No matter how much they sleep or reduce their screen time or relax the eyes by putting cucumber slices and banana peels over them, dark circles remain indifferent to such treatments. These dark circles around the eyes can be very off-putting and sometimes can overpower your entire look. This can be especially distressing as eyes are the first thing most people notice about us and pay attention to for the longest time during a conversation. Of course, looking good is important for everyone and helps us feel more confident about ourselves. Many times men and women try to conceal the dark circle with the help of makeup products however that does not offer a permanent solution and sometimes it even fails to give complete coverage. Hiding dark circles behind sunglasses is also not an efficient solution for people with chronic dark circles. To find an effective treatment for your dark circles you must first understand what is causing them.
Causes of Dark Circles
Sometimes dark circles can be caused by lack of sleep, excessive screen time, cardiovascular deficiencies, kidney problems, food reactions, and toxins in the body. If you have dark circles due to any of these problems you should attend to the root cause and that should gradually diminish your dark circles. Other causes that warrant direct treatment for dark circles are:
Ageing
Ageing is an inevitable process that causes thinning of the skin, abnormalities in skin pigmentation, loss of fat under skin and depreciation of collagen; a structural protein which makes our skin firm and elastic. This leads to puffy eyes and creases around the eyes and other facial structures. Unfortunately, this all casts a shadow under the eyes which makes the circles appear under your eyes.
Excessive Rubbing of eyes
If you were in habit of excessively rubbing or scratching your eyes, this can cause damage to the skin and the capillaries underneath resulting in dark circles compromising your entire look of the face. This can make your eyes look dull, giving you an older look than you really are.
Hyper Pigmentation
This is a skin condition more common in Asians than any other race, which leads to abnormal production skin colouration pigment melanin. This irregular pigmentation of the skin can cause dark spots on the face and dark circles around the eyes. The most common reasons behind hyperpigmentation are genetics, poor diet, excessive sun exposure, ageing and childbearing.
Excessive sun exposure
When your skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays (UV) in sunlight without the protection of a sunscreening you are at the increased risk of not only hyperpigmentation but also skin cancer. It is best to wear sunscreen whenever you go out.
