Dark circles… those sometimes dark marks or bags that appear under our eyes. Although we often associate them with fatigue, their appearance can also be linked to other factors. Dark circles give your face a tired look and make you appear older than you really are.
Time to get rid of them? Let’s take a look at what causes dark circles to appear, the different types of dark circles and, above all, the solutions for reducing those unwanted dark circles under your eyes!
What causes dark circles to appear?
There are several possible causes for the appearance of dark circles. First and foremost, the skin around the eyes is very thin, allowing blood vessels to show through and give that dark appearance. Dark circles can also be a sign of poor circulation, dehydration or genetic predisposition. Another factor is lifestyle: poor hygiene, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and lack of sleep can all contribute to the appearance of these unsightly marks.
Several types of dark circles
There are different types of dark circles. Bluish circles, often due to poor blood circulation; brown circles, more closely related to hyperpigmentation of the skin; and hollow circles, which result from a loss of volume in the area around the eye. Each type of dark circle requires a specific treatment to reduce its appearance.
Everyday solutions to reduce dark circles
Home care
Many natural home treatments can help reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Proper moisturizing, cold water compresses on the eyes, application of cucumber slices, chamomile infusions or almond oil are commonly used methods to refresh the eyes and reduce dark marks.
Cosmetic products
Cosmetic products specifically developed for the eye contour area can also be used to minimize the appearance of dark circles. Creams, serums enriched with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid-based skin care products or even fresh-effect roll-ons can help reduce puffiness, brighten the eye contour and improve blood circulation in this delicate area. Remember, a good eye contour care product should be applied delicately to avoid damaging the skin. Application tip: Apply the cream only to the orbital bone (the area around the eye), not directly to the mobile eyelid or too close to the eyelashes. The natural warmth of your skin will allow the product to diffuse upwards without coming into direct contact with the eye.
Sleep and diet play an important role in dark circles
The impact of sleep on dark circles
A good night’s sleep is another crucial aspect in countering the appearance of dark circles. A lack of sleep can lead to pale skin and dilated blood vessels, which can amplify the appearance of dark circles. It’s generally recommended to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night for optimal health. Similarly, avoiding stress and adopting a stable lifestyle can also help reduce the appearance of dark circles.
A healthy diet
When it comes to fighting dark circles, diet plays an essential role. A healthy diet can help improve skin health and reduce the appearance of dark circles. A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals is recommended. To achieve this, focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. In addition, it’s important to stay hydrated, as well-moisturized skin appears smoother and brighter, which can help minimize the appearance of dark circles.
