The skin under the eyes is the thinnest in the body and blood vessels in this area tend to appear more prominent.
However, there are a number of reasons that cause dark circles under the eyes or rather make them more pronounced, here are some examples:

 

- Heredity – Dark under-eye circles are part of your genes.

 

- Lack of sleep – This causes your skin to appear pale, thus the blood vessels under our skin will be more visible and dark.

 

- Gravity – Trying to sleep on your back to make sure that fluid does not collect in your lower eyelids, which may cause the appearance of shadows.

 

- Fluid Retention – Smoking, caffeine beverages, high blood pressure or other medical conditions can cause the blood vessels to dilate and the increased blood flow will show through the skin.

 

- Poor Nutrition – The lack of a balanced diet and especially the lack of iron may contribute to the discolouration of the eye area.

 

- Sun Exposure – This may cause blood vessels to become more visible and draw more pigmentation to the skin’s surface

 

- Age – As people get older they tend to lose collagen from the skin, this makes the skin become thinner and more translucent.

 

- Dehydration – excessive loss of water from the body causes dark circles.

Recommended Treatments

 

- Drink 8-10 glasses of water per day to keep yourself hydrated.

 

- Sleep for at least 8 hours a night.

 

- Sleep on your back to avoid fluid retention.

 

- Don’t smoke, don’t drink a lot of alcoholic and caffeine drinks.

 

- Consume a balanced diet rich in antioxidants.

 

- Eat fruit and veg that contains vitamin C to strengthen the walls of the blood vessels and iron rich foods.

 

- Try to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes in sunny weather.

 

- Using products that contain Haloxyl, N-Hydroxysuccinimide and Chrysin as this will promote the elimination of blood originating pigments from under the eyes. Vitamin K helps with blood coagulation and circulation.
