Under-eye dark circle is a common problem.Skincare clinics,beauticians and dermatologists receive hundreds of queries regarding dark circles and its treatment.Dark eyes are not desired.All look-conscious women and men would want to get rid of dark circles.

Before you start looking for the remedies,learn how dark circles and under-eye blemishes and wrinkles form and what are the reasons.Then we will learn how to get rid of it.

Blame your parents:

Dark circles can be hereditary.Skin around the eyelids is very thin,and hence,transparent.That makes the blood vessels visible;when blood passes through the veins,the skin gets a bluish shade.

Skin color and thickness of skin are inherited traits.Hence,dark eyes caused by these factors have no cure. However,some remedies to minimize the effect have been suggested later in the article.

Allergy–Viral Infection:

Eye infection,conjunctivitis etc.may lead to dark circles.Itchy and watery eyes due to bacterial infection,mold or any other injurious element often result in darker eyes.Such dark circles generally go off once the infection is cured.You must see a dermatology doctor to confirm the source.

Malnutrition–Anemia:

Balanced diet is very important to keep your skin in good shape.Lack of any of the essential nutrients in your diet may lead to certain health problems. Lack of iron often leads to dark circles.Since lack of iron is closely related to anemia,it is often said that anemia is the root cause of dark eyes.

Women having dark circles due to anemia should see a doctor and change their diet to cure the problem from root.

Dark circles may get prominent during menstruation and pregnancy due to iron deficiency.As the skin gets paler,the veins become more visible and lead to discoloration around eyes.

Overstrain:

Fatigue,tiredness,lack of sleep and overstrain may lead to dark circles.If you haven't slept well for few days and had been too busy with work you are likely to grow dark circles around the eyes.If this is the case,take rest,relax and sleep 7 to 8 hours a day–those ugly patches will vanish soon.

Aging:

Collagen,the bridging unit of skin that tightens the skin cells,gets damaged with aging.As a result skin becomes more thin and transparent making the blood vessels more prominent and visible from outside.This is a permanent and irreversible change.

Other Reasons:

Poor blood circulation and dehydration often result in dark circles.These are temporary problems and goes off with proper treatment.

How to get rid of dark circles–Remedies:

If the reason is heredity or age,you won't be able to remove those dark circles completely.It is suggested to use a good concealer to minimize the discoloration.

Otherwise,you need proper treatment and have to maintain good diet with adequate sleep and exercise to get rid of dark circles.
