How to Get Rid of Dark Circles?
7 - Pro Tips and Natural Remedies.
So have you ever woken up and had dark
circles under your eyes? Well in this article we are going to learn 7 tips on
how you can get rid of dark circles. A lot of people have dark circles because you
can see their blood vessels in their eyelids and that's either because they have
more capillaries or the ones they have are thicker and larger and because the
skin of the eyelid is the thinnest in the body.
Caffeine:
Caffeine acts as a diuretic to help get fluid out of your body but it also helps to constrict your blood vessels at least momentarily so drinking a cup of coffee or a cup of black tea can help constrict your blood vessels and get the dark circles to be less apparent. You can also try the moistened tea bag trick if you want because caffeine can also be absorbed through the skin that's exactly why some medications and creams for dark circles have caffeine in them as an additive.
Eye
Allergies:
Treat eye allergies. Your eyelids and the blood vessels within the eyelids become inflamed very easily due to allergies. Allergic reactions are caused by chemical called histamine, histamine causes your blood vessels to dilate and start to release more fluid that fluid will accumulate and cause eye bags and although people often confuse eye bags with dark circles they are not the same thing but thankfully in this case the treatments are very similar. To manage your allergies you can try over-the-counter oral antihistamines or you can try topical antihistamine eye drops.
Cold
Compressing:
Just like icing your elbow or your knee after it's been injured, it'll help reduce the swelling of the blood vessels and slow down fluid movement which causes the swelling you can do cold compresses by using an eye mask. You can also just grab a bag of frozen peas out of the freezer or you can do the frozen spoon trick where you put a couple of spoons into the freezer and after a few hours then you can put the frozen spoon onto your eyelid and that'll cool down the swelling.
Let's keep going another reason people get dark circles is because the skin on the eyelid is the thinnest skin on the body it's about a half a millimeter thick and some people have thinner skin than others and to help with this honestly prevention is the most important.

UV protection equipment or ointment:
Next step is to prevent skin damage by wearing UV light blocking ointments and creams or wearing a hundred percent UV light protecting sunglasses because in the long-term UV light from the sun can cause damage to the skin and even thin the skin.

Take
Rest @ Night:

hormone levels and thin the skin and negatively affect your blood vessels. And
take seven and nine hours of sleep at night.

with a slight incline:

Another major cause of dark circles is hyper pigmentation of the eyelid and honestly this one's really hard to treat on your own just because some people naturally have more pigment of their skin around their eyelids.
