Causes of Dark Circles
Dark circles might be the first thing that catches your attention when you look at the mirror. The cause of the dark circles might be varied. Dark circles are not only a cosmetic problem; sometimes they can be an indication of underlying health problems.
As the layer of skin around the eyes is thin when blood flows through the veins it casts a shadow which makes the skin look darker. If the flow of blood in that area is increased it causes the under eye area to appear all the more darker.
The most common cause of dark circles is hereditary. It runs in the family just like varicose veins. Apart from hereditary there are a host of reasons that can cause dark circles.
Lack of adequate sleep is also a major cause of dark circles. This can be cured simply by taking enough rest and sleeping with the head placed slightly higher than rest of the body.
Improper nutrition especially the lack of vitamin C and E also causes dark circles. If the diet is rich in beta carotene and zinc then you are less likely to get dark circles.
Sun exposure may also results in getting dark circles. Tanning makes the body look healthier but it is not so for the skin around the eyes as the skin around the eyes is very sensitive. Hay fever, dust allergy not only result in the urge to rub the eyes but also cause the skin to get discolored.
Dark circles can also result from the use of some medicines. During pregnancy and menstruation there are hormonal changes which might alter the color of the skin and thus result in dark circles.
A few simple tips to get rid of dark circles are:
* Ensure that you have a balanced diet
* Adequate sleep is important.
* Find a cure for your allergies as this will automatically reduce the rubbing of eyes which causes dark circles
* Creams rich in Vitamin K are useful in getting rid of dark circles.
* Protect the eyes from sun with the use of sun block or shades
Getting rid of dark circles may take time so in the meantime you could use a concealer to cover the dark circles and add a spark to your eyes
