Dark circles refer to the dark, discolouration that can form underneath the eyes, many people will get them at some point in their lives, but they can be bothersome and make you look overly tired, even if you’re not.
What causes dark circles?
Dark circles can be caused by a variety of factors, such as genetics, aging, allergies, dehydration, lack of sleep, and sun exposure. In some cases, dark circles can be a sign of an underlying health condition.
Dark circles are more common in people with thin or pale skin, and can make a person look tired, older, or unhealthy. While they are not usually a serious medical concern, dark circles can affect a person’s self-confidence.
Treatments for Dark Circles
There are several ways to treat dark circles, depending on the underlying cause. Here are some strategies that may be helpful:
Get enough sleep: Make sure you are getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night, as lack of sleep can contribute to dark circles.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, as dehydration can also cause dark circles.
Use eye cream: Apply a good quality eye cream containing ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, caffeine, or hyaluronic acid, which can help reduce puffiness and improve the appearance of dark circles.
Apply a cold compress: Place a cold compress over your eyes for 10-15 minutes to reduce puffiness and improve circulation.
Manage allergies: If allergies are causing your dark circles, take steps to manage them, such as avoiding allergens or taking medication.
Protect your skin from the sun: Wear sunscreen and sunglasses when going out in the sun to prevent damage to the delicate skin around the eyes.
Consider medical treatments: In some cases, medical treatments such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or dermal fillers may be effective in reducing the appearance of dark circles. Consult with a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon for more information.
