Tired of waking up with dark circles under your eye?

Understanding the causes and solutions

Common cause

​

Eye bags and dark circles may be genetically inherited. For others, they may come from allergies, eczema, chronic fatigue, pimentation issues, sun exposure and aging.

 

What you can do

 

1- Apply Tea bags
The caffeine in the tea contains powerful antioxidants and may increase blood flow to your skin.  It’s also said to protect


against UV rays and potentially slow the aging process.

 

2- Use a cold compress
Toss out those pricey creams. Relief from dark circles may be as simple as using a cold compress you make using materials you already own (e.g. cool cucumber, chilled teaspoon, bag of frozen veggies, etc). Applying cold to the area can help the blood vessels constrict quickly for some temporary relief.

3- Stay hydrated
Water makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Given this, it may not be surprising that dehydration can contribute to under-eye bags. Upping your water intake should help.

​

How much is enough? Experts recommend drinking around 13 cups of fluids a day for men, and about 9 cups of fluids for women, per day.

​

Don’t like water? The good news is that all fluids count toward your daily total. Still, water is a low-calorie option. Try sparkling waters, flavored waters, or even water infused with fruit. Hot or cold herbal decaffeinated tea is another good choice.

​

4- Use lightening products
Skin lightening creams contain an

ingredient called hydroquinone. This ingredient interferes with the production of melanin in the skin. This can help reduce the appearance of dark bags or under-eye circles.

​

5- Take your makeup off before bed
Improving your nightly routine may also help you avoid bags under your eyes. In particular, it’s important to wash your face before bed each night.

​

6- If you can, get at least eight hours of sleep
Beyond how you sleep, how much you sleep is also a factor. Although limited sleep may not actually cause under-eye circles, getting little sleep may make your complexion paler. Any shadows or dark circles you have may be more obvious as a result.
