Fashion Brief
Dark circles and puffy eyes usually are associated with long sleepless nights or stressful days. Also in some other cases they can also refer to our genetics. Now if you’re sure that your case has nothing to do with genetics then you are on the right place at the right time! Go on reading the information resented below and find out more about the main causes of dark circles and puffy eyes.
What you need to know first of all, is that the skin around your eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on your entire body. That is why compared to your entire body, the skin around your eyes easily tends to get irritated or damaged. The two main topical problems that are very characteristic are puffiness and dark circles. Wondering why? Here’s the answer.
Dark under Eye Circles
As we’ve already mentioned, dark under eye circles usually appear as a result of tiredness and lack of a good sleep. Also, in some cases pigmentary issues can cause discoloration on the area around the eyes. At last, aging can also be mentioned as one of the main causes of dark under eye circles. Now as you know our skin in that specific area is thinner than on our entire body. So as we age it gets even thinner increasing the visibility of the tiny blood vessels in the area. Moreover with age, we lose volume in the area under the eyes and the orbital bone gets more emphasized creating a hollow that looks like a dark circle. So the first thing that you need to figure out is whether you have blue under-eye circles or brown. Brown under-eye circles are either caused by aging or hyperpigmentation. Blue under-eye circles, on the other hand, are because of pooling blood in the area under your eyes. So this is mainly has to do with a lack of sleep.
Puffy Eyes
When it comes to puffy eyes is a wide range of causes that needs to be considered. What you need to know first of all is that puffy eyes are the result of osmosis- a process that assumes the fluid retention caused by excess salt. That can be either because of eating lots of salty foods, overuse of alcohol or tobacco, allergies or even crying. Another cause of puffy eyes can come from the way you sleep. For example sleeping on your stomach may lead you to the unwanted results of having puffy eyes.
Last but not least, habits such as rubbing the eye or not removing makeup before sleep.
Now that you know what are the causes of dark under-eye circles and puffy eyes it is very important to concentrate on the prevention and treatment of this beauty and health issue. Of course the first thing that you need to do, is fight off your habits!
