Dark Circles Under Eyes.

The eyelid skin is very thin and the blood passing thourgh these vessels can be more noticeable compared to other body areas.The shadow of the brow can also make the area under the eyes appear darker.

Certain conditions such as anaemia,vitamin deficiency, dehydration and lack of sleep can make the coloration of the skin under the eyes appear darker.

Also as we get older our skin loses its elasticity and becomes more transparent making dark circles more noticeable.

Ok now we have outlined some of the causes.

Now,how do we get rid of these dark circles? Well first up it is recommended that you have a full health check up to eliminate vitamin deficiency, anaemia or poor general health etc.

Next you should ensure that you are maintaining both an adequate intake of fluid(water,not alcohol)and having sufficient rest.

Also avoid rubbing the skin around the eye excessively.

A soothing cool compress,(either proprietary or the old faithful tea bags/cucumber slices) if used regularly are very effective at eliminating dark circles.

Finally if all else fails there are several eye make up products which are good at covering up the dark patches.
