by Blanca

To defeat the enemy, you must know it. These days, getting rid of dark circles under the eyes is easier than you think, but first we need to know everything about them.

Why do I have dark circles under my eyes?

This is one of the questions we ask ourselves most often. Dark circles are bluish, grayish, or purple discolorations that appear under the lower eyelids. This facial feature is often associated with lack of sleep, poor diet, stress, and general malaise. But is this really the case?

There are several factors that influence the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, and not all of them are related to anything wrong with you, your habits, or your health. Let's look at some of the reasons:

  • Hereditary factors: Some people have that area more pigmented or sunken due to their genetics.
  • Poor eating habits: Your body isn't receiving enough nutrients, vitamins, or minerals, or it's not properly hydrated. This causes veins to become inflamed and dark circles to appear under the eyes. Remember, your skin reflects your inner health.
  • Sleep deprivation: Not getting enough rest will cause the blood vessels in the area to dilate, making dark circles more visible.
  • Weight loss or the passage of time: Have you lost weight? When we lose weight or as the years go by, we lose periorbital fat and dark circles become more visible.

The 3 best tips to get rid of dark circles

  • Use treatments to reduce puffiness and inflammation in the area. There are several home remedies you can try; let's look at them: Use ice cubes to apply cold to the eye contour. Be careful not to apply them directly; use a cloth to prevent the ice from burning your skin. Cucumber slices also work; place a slice on each eye and keep them there until they reach room temperature. The Fixeye device, with its combination of four technologies, produces a calming effect, reducing bags and dark circles. Simply glide it over the area to be treated for one minute.

  • Using color correctors , while not a long-lasting solution, is ideal for occasional use or even daily. Ideally, your corrector should be one or two shades lighter than your skin tone to ensure complete coverage of dark circles.
  • It provides extra hydration to this area. Use products that help activate collagen synthesis and contain hyaluronic acid; a good recommendation is the SKINVITY serum . Apply it twice a day, morning and night, along with the Fixeye device. Remember that your skin reflects your inner health, so drink at least 2 liters of water a day.

In short, dark circles under the eyes can affect anyone for a variety of reasons. By following a few simple habits and using the recommendations we've provided in this post, you can conceal them and even eliminate them.
