How To Get Rid Of Dark Circles Under Your Eye

By Chris Channing


Dark circles under one's eyes is a common problem that is associated with a wide array of different causes. Luckily despite the fact that these discolored bags under our eyes are so hard to get rid of, there are a few techniques that will allow us to make sure they don't return any time soon.

The first thing to make sure you do is to get plenty of rest. The most commonly associated cause of dark skin discoloration under one's eyes is the lack of sleep that is so common in today's busy world. Lack of sleep causes the skin to become pale, which would suggest that blood circulation isn't at normal levels. Thus, we would also pin poor blood circulation to the list of causes.

Hereditary causes of this condition have been proven to be in effect. This means that if one's parents have a history of having the condition, then one can expect that they too will have some sort of "run in" with the condition as well. There are still solutions open to those who have a hereditary condition of dark circles under their eyes, but some of the more simple solutions probably won't work.

The best way to get treatment for this condition is to do it while you sleep! Apply a face mask full of vitamins, chemicals, and special wraps can make the skin glow and shine each morning when one wakes up. If things still aren't back to normal after a few days, try using cucumber slices- these have been proven to increase skin color in a positive way.

Tea bags have also been known to contain tannin, which has shown similar effects as cucumber slices. If a cucumber isn't handy, try to find a tea mixture with tannin and apply the mixture under one's eyes with a damp cloth or rag. Leave the cloth for optimal results so that the tannin can soak into the skin for best efficiency. If you aren't comfortable with leaving the mixture overnight, 10-15 minutes should be plenty of time to absorb the materials.

Last but not least we have the vitamin K remedy. This remedy is usually the fastest acting and most successful, since dark circles under the skin are almost always caused by some sort of vitamin K deficiency. One can find this vitamin in most skin creams in local stores- you won't have to pay too much extra or make a large search to find this vitamin.

In Conclusion

As we can see dark circles under your eyes aren't threatening in the least. Regardless, they may be a sign of something more serious- in which case a doctor should be visited if they stay for two or more weeks even after treatment is made. After all, it is best to be safe than sorry!
