Six Common Causes Of Dark Circle Around The Eyes And Remedies For Them. by portable86(f): 11:52am One of our biggest beauty bugbears is dark eye bags. While we know the best way to mask stealthy shadows with concealer, we want to get to the root of the problem by targeting the causes. Find out why you always seems to continually see that irritable dark circle around your eyes no matter how much you try to get rid of them. The discolouration around the eyes is thanks to tiny broken capillaries which can show through as dark patches – and the more fragile the thin skin there becomes, the more shadows show. A variety of health and lifestyle (as well as genetic) factors can make them appear more prominent, so a holistic approach is required to eradicate them. Here are some of the Common Causes; 1) Iron Deficiencies: Dark circles can be a sign of an iron deficiency such as anemia. If you have low iron in your blood, hemoglobin (which carries oxygen) can breakdown more easily causing the thin skin below the eyes to appear dark or bruised. Ensure you maintain proper iron levels by eating red meat, green leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds - and if youre concerned visit your GP. 2) Stress: When youre stressed more blood is directed to your main organs leaving your face looking drained and pasty. This makes dark circles appear more noticeable. Stress can also cause the fragile capillaries around the eyes to break or leak blood. The blood spreads out under the skin (pools) and becomes oxidized forming a dark purple hue. 3) Fatigue: A lack of sleep causes paleness of the skin allowing darkness under the eye to be more prominent and visible. 4) Rubbing Your Eyes: The thinnest area of skin on your face is around your eyes. This is also the most sensitive part of your face and the capillaries under this skin are more prone to breakage and leakage – hello purple reign, again. Message: dont rub or pull your eyes! 5) Wearing Heavy Frame Glasses: This puts stress on the delicate skin around eyes and causes broken capillaries. 6) Sun Damage: Sun damage to this fragile skin can, as above, leave capillaries vulnerable and you know what that means – breakage and leakage. Wear light-weight sunglasses in harsh sun and shield your eyes from unnecessary UV exposure Ways To Remedy Dark Circles 1) Take a Vitamin B complex: B vitamins help strengthen blood vessels and capillaries, to limit breakage and leakage in the eye area. 2) Up Your Vitamin C And Other Natural Antioxidants: These help fight off damaging free-radicals that weaken the skin causing it to become thinner and more translucent, therefore making dark circles more visible. Ditch the junk food which does the opposite. 3) Avoid Certain Medications: Anything that could dilate blood vessels results in increased blood flow around eyes which can cause shadows to darken. Check with your doctor or a pharmacist if you are unsure. 4) Use A Targeted Eye Treatment: Reinforce your delicate capillaries and brighten your skin with a multi-pronged products continously for desired results.
