This morning my teenager was feeling rather depressed over her dark eye circles and tried to conceal them with make up. Well, I am sure she is not alone when it comes to dark eye rings.
Dark circles around eyes is one of the most dermatological complaints among many and is not limited to older individuals.
They might appear due to allergy, fatigue or may even be hereditary. There is no one proven solution that will remove dark eye circles permanently but a combination of methods can lessen the intensity of the dark rings.
The skin under the eye is very thin and when blood passes through the large veins close to the surface of the skin it can produce a bluish tint. Therefore, the fairer your skin, the darker the circles appear.
Even in darker skinned people, exposure to sunlight can cause a higher than normal level of melanin under the eyes.
In addition, if you have any existing health condition such as eczema, allergies or asthma , it can cause you to rub itchy eyes and scratch the thin skin, thus inevitably darken the delicate skin around your eyes.
Home Remedies and Natural Treatments to Get Rid of Dark Eye Circles
The best way to remove dark eye rings is to make lifestyle changes. Having sufficient sleep is a crucial step to reducing dark eye circles. Try to get at least of eight hours of sleep daily and sleep with a pillow under your head would also reduce puffiness.
If you work long hours at the computer or late night readings, reduce eye strain by this easy exercise. Close your eyes and gently press your ring finger underneath one eye, moving from the inside corner to the outside corner. Do this 10 to 15 times on each eye to improve circulation.
You can do this with or without almond oil, I choose to use almond oil as it is an excellent "skin food".
Another way is to alternate hot and cold towels under eyes for 10 minutes. Follow up with some almond oil on the dark area before going to bed.
I never fail to remind my children to follow the 20/20 rule as they spend a considerable amount of time on computers and PSPs. For every 20 minutes, look in to the distance for 20 seconds. Continuous use of eyes will result in fatigue.
Homemade Eye Mask to Remove Dark Circles
1. Cut slices of cucumber or raw potato thinly and chill them in the refrigerator. After this, place them on the eyes, for about 20 minutes. Alternatively, take 2 used tea bags and dip them in cold water for about 5 minutes, place on your eyes and keep there for 10 minutes.
2. Concoct an equal part of fresh potato and cucumber juices. Soak some cotton wool pads and put on your eyelids and stay for 20 minutes and rinse off with cool water.
3. Make a paste of turmeric powder with a few drops of pineapple juice and apply it under the eyes for about 5 minutes and rinse off with cool water.
4. Take some mint leaves, crush lightly into paste and apply over the eyes. Leave for about 20 minutes and rinse it off. Mint refreshes tired eyes.
5. Dip 2 cotton wool pads in rose water and place it over the eye for about 10 minutes. Rose water is available cheaply at drugstores and you can also use it as an facial astringent.
Other than applying homemade eye masks on your dark rings regularly, make sure to increase your intake of foods rich in Vitamin E such as egg yolks, nuts and seeds. Vitamin C, iron and water also play an important role in getting rid of stubborn dark circles under eyes.
Before I go, here is a beauty tip which I religiously stick to – reduce stress levels by practicing yoga and meditation. Sarvangasana or the "Shoulder Stand" reduces dark circles by increasing the blood circulation to your face. This enables the clean blood and oxygen to reach your face quickly and thus reduces the appearance of dark circles significantly . Moreover yoga relaxes you so you sleep better, your skin glows and you will not get troubled by dark eye circles anymore.
