Most of us
have experienced dark under eye circles that make us look exhausted.
Nine out of 10 people have dark circles to some degree.
The skin under the eyes is the thinnest on the body. The many blood
vessels in this area can show through the delicate skin, contributing to
the appearance of dark under eye circles, especially if the vessels
become dilated. Fat pads surround the eyes, and the muscles that enclose
the upper and lower eyelids hold the fat pads and the skin in place. As
we age, skin and muscle lose elasticity, which can result in sagging
around the eyes.
Genetics - Darkness under the eyes runs in families and is more prominent on fair skin.
Lack of sleep - Poor quality sleep causes blood vessels to become more visible through the skin.
Sun exposure can trigger "age spots" around the eyes and weaken the skin, which can contribute to dark circles.
Increased fluid retention - The blood vessels under the eyes can become engorged and dilated (dietary salt and smoking are common causes).
Aging causes the fat pad below the eye to thin, producing a sunken appearance.
Extreme weight loss also can cause this sunken look.
1. Get at
least eight hours of uninterrupted sleep every night. Sleep with your
head slightly elevated (when you're lying flat, gravity causes fluid to
collect in your lower eyelids, which may create shadows).
2. Moisturize the area with
Noevir Perfecting Eye Cream to help eliminate under eye circles and
puffiness.
3. Cover up with
Noevir concealer.
4. You may need to see a dermatologist if the situation warrants.
5. Use sunscreen every day. Try
Raysela Face Protector &
Body Protector, both with an SPF of 30.
