Why do dark circles under the eyes appear and how do we get rid of them naturally?

The good news is that dark circles are in most cases a cosmetic concern that can be got rid of. Only in extreme and rare cases are they the result of more serious medical conditions.

First, let us look at the reasons dark circles appear. Some people have blue dark circles, which are the result of oxidised blood under the skin beneath the eyes. Because the skin is thin, this blood shows through. Brown dark circles, on the other hand, are the result of hyperpigmentation caused by UV rays, genes or rubbing the eyes. Sometimes they appear as puffiness.

WHAT AFFECTS THE APPEARANCE OF DARK CIRCLES?

• Heredity.
• Allergies (especially seasonal ones that cause a blocked nose).
• Dehydration.
• Poor lifestyle (poor diet, smoking, too little exercise, too much alcohol)
• Excessive exposure to UV rays.
• Low-quality make-up and cosmetics.
• Anaemia (especially iron deficiency)
• Stress (it is proven that skin suffers greatly because of stress).
• Poor-quality sleep.

What can we do?

We will achieve the most if we start with good and healthy habits, protect the skin from the sun and use quality cosmetics. A higher pillow helps too.
