Dark Circles Solution

The causes of dark circles under the eyes are many.

1) Lack of sleep, of course, always produces those dark circles but with a couple of nights’ rest, they will fade.
2) Heredity can cause the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, and there really isn’t much that you can do about that one.
3) Overexposure to sunlight can cause dark circles under the eyes. Simply wearing sunglasses and not staying in the sun too long is the obvious fix for that cause.
4) Some medications can cause dark circles under the eyes. Poor nutrition, hormonal imbalance, and aging are other causes.

It is important to avoid rubbing your eyes, as the rubbing only increases the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Here are a few quick fixes:

1. Grate cucumber, soak two cotton balls in the juice and place over closed eyes. Potato juice is effective as well, as is rose water.

2. Slices of cold cucumber placed over the eyes for a few minutes are effective.

3. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night will help to reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

I am 30 and am starting to notice dark circles under my eyes even when I get enough sleep. They are hereditary-my mom and grandma have them. I tried Loreal & Garnier products-helped a little but not much. I don’t want to waste to much money trying every kind-does anyone have one they swear by??

Remedies For Dark Circles

* An instant dark circles remedy is to use the correct concealer. The shade should be lighter than your foundation. If circles are very dark, choose 2 shades lighter. Great choices can be Revlon New Complexion Concealer, Estee Lauder Smoothing Skin Concealer, Cover Girl Smoothers Concealer, or Neutrogena Smoothing Skin Stick.

* Apply a good Vitamin K cream. Vita-K Solution gel or Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue help strengthen capillary walls around the dark circles to make them less visible.

* One should go for laser treatment only if the case is chronic. Lasers can increase production of collagen thereby thickening skin to make dark circles less visible.

* Home remedies for dark circles can include the following:
1. Drink plenty of water to combat dehydration.
2. Wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent more sun damage.
3. Get enough sleep.
4. Leave cold teabags, cucumber or potato slices, or washcloths with ice cubes on eyes for 15 minutes regularly.
5. Take iron supplements if anemic, but consult your doctor first.
6. Identify the allergens and avoid them. Whether it be pollen, food, whatever, avoidance is the best solution to this. And avoid rubbing your eyes.

* Hylexin is the first dark circles eye cream developed for serious dark circles. Featured in several magazines such as Marie Claire, FashionWeekDaily, The Wall Street Journal , Star and Luck.

* One of the greatest remedies for dark circles is Arbonne’s NutriMinC® RE9 Repair. It’s a corrective puffiness and dark circles eye cream that does additional benefits – firming, moisturizing and repairing the delicate tissue around the eye.

does that mean your unhealthy? stress, being tired, with age, and allergies can casue dark circles under eyes, not just lack of sleep. but any of you out there have dark circles under your eyes and also from lack of sleep?

If you are asking how to tell if the dark circles are health related,you may ask these questions first. How good is your diet? Do you get enough iron in your diet if you are female.Does the rest of your skin seem pale? Is it a common occurrence? Again if you are female,how heavy are your flows? Do you take a dietary supplement? Do you have any other worrisome symptoms? Do you get enough B vitamins,through whole-grains?

I have had slight dark circles for quite a while, but the past two weeks while i have been on hoilday i have been drinking too much, although i get a good 8 hours sleep, but have noticed i have developed serious dark circles under my eyes!!

Can they go if you improve your health or once you’ve got them have you got them forever?

I’ve been looking for a good dark circles cream for so long. Thanks to my school, I have these really dark and nasty dark circles under my eye. and I am only 23. I have tried so many expensive creams but nothing worked. I have searched online so much but I was thinking if someone had the same problem and used something that helped them, might also help me. So please suggest me some good cream.

origins makes two amazing products that reduced the puffiness of my eyes and my dark circles after peroidic use.. one was an espresso eye cream and another is a ginseng eye cream. i found it when i was working three jobs, getting seven hours of sleep and juggling my relationship with my boyfriend. it made the hugest difference and i swear by them!!!

Me, I tend to get 6-8 hours of sleep per night, at least 6 on the weekend, and 8 during weekdays. Well, I have a problem with dark circles under my eyes, yet I still get a decent amount of sleep. Basically, it looks bad and in a week or so, I’m getting photos done and I have the worst dark circles under the eyes problem. How do I get rid of these? Any natural ways? If so, how?

to get rid of dark circles:

1. lack of sleep is usually the main cause but seen as this is not the case for you it’s also believed that too little time lying down is a cause in itself. determine how much sleep you need (it’s usually 7-9 hours per night, but varies throughout different people) and try to get that amount regularly for a couple of weeks to see if that helps. remember that alcohol and drugs can adversely affect the quality of your sleep; abstain from these products or use only in moderation for best results.

2. establish whether or not this condition runs in your family. dark circles are believed to frequently be hereditary. this doesn’t mean that you can’t do anything about the conditions, but you should be prepared for minimal success actually trying to get rid of them. dark circles under the eye may also, in fact, be light carbon deposits that result from incomplete protein digestion. incomplete protein digestion may result from insufficient hydrochloric acid in your stomach that may be caused from a lack of primarily b6 and folic acid. about 30% of the population does not absorb regular b6 (pydroxine) or folic acid and need to take in these vitamins in a different form or another way.

3. identify allergens. allergies may be the most common cause of skin discoloration under the eyes. if allergies are the root of your problem, you simply need to treat them or remove the allergen (the thing to which you are allergic). seasonal allergy problems such as the hay fever can frequently be effectively treated with over-the-counter and prescription medications. for other allergies the best course of action is usually avoidance. if your dark circles or puffiness are constant, you may have an undetected food allergy or an allergy to a chemical in your home or workplace. talk to a dermatologist for help determining what you may be allergic to. people with allergies also tend again to be deficient in b6, folic acid. taking a multivitamin, if you don’t already, may help with your allergies as well as black circles.

4. treat your skin while you sleep. there are overnight facial masques available that may help reduce the appearance of puffiness or discoloration, but you can also make your own. just before you go to bed, take a washcloth and wet it just a bit with cold water. then squeeze out any excess water and place it over your eyes as you sleep.

5. apply cool tea bags, an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth, or cucumber slices to your eyes daily. the tannin in tea bags has been shown to reduce swelling and discoloration, and cucumber slices have long been used to reduce puffiness and refresh the appearance of skin around the eyes. lie down, preferably in the morning, and leave fresh cucumber slices or cool, damp caffeinated tea bags (you can refrigerate them overnight so they’ll be ready) over your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. keep your eyes closed.

6. try to relax the space. you can do this by wetting a cotton swab and then freezing it for a little while. then you should gently wipe under your eyes in the areas where the circles are occurring. when wiping, close your eyes and try not to flinch.

7. apply an eye cream containing vitamin k and retinol. research has shown that skin creams containing these two ingredients reduce puffiness and discoloration significantly in many patients. long-term daily use seems to have the greatest effect.

8. avoid rubbing your eyes. usually rubbing of the eyes is brought on by allergies, but not always. regardless of the reason, stop doing it. the rubbing irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing both puffiness and discoloration.

9. eat a healthy, balanced diet and drink plenty of water. a whole host of cosmetic problems can be attributed to vitamin deficiencies. be sure to get plenty of fruits and vegetables—especially cabbage, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables. get adequate fluids to improve circulation.

10. reduce salt intake. excess salt causes the body to retain water in unusual places, and this can result in puffiness under the eyes. too much salt can also impair your circulation, and cause the blood vessels under the skin to appear bluer.

11. if you smoke- then quit. smoking causes vascular (blood vessel) problems that can not only threaten your life, but also make your blood vessels appear more prominent and bluer beneath the skin. good luck

hope this helps

is there any studies that have been done or system that can identify the causes of dark circles of individuals?

Preparation H for hemorrhoids- dont laugh, relieves the circles and swelling under your eyes- just make sure you dont get it IN your eyes- and I don’t know if they ever discovered what causes them other than genetics- darker skin like latino, italians and lack of sleep.

I’m talking about a permanent solution, not home remedies or creams. Something like surgery or Restylane treatment. I know Restylane treatments aren’t permanent, but I’ve seen before and after photos and I like the results.

Preparation H works. I am NOT kidding. My mom used it and she has horrible bags, but since she has started using it shes looks so much better. Just put a little bit under each eye before bed, go to sleep… And in the morning wash it off.. takes a couple of days but it works.. its like 7 $ for a big tube.. its worth trying rather than doing something expensive.

I don’t mean things like lack of sleep or being sick.
I mean like… HOW does the body form dark under-eye circles?

It the loss of fats and fluids. The dark there is just the thinness of your skin and it’s transparency. Sometimes it’s just hereditary to not really have thick skin there.
