Dark under eye circles can add years to your actual age and can make you look tired all the time. This is caused by sleep deprivation, fluid retention, allergies, genes and lifestyle behaviour. Fortunately, going under the knife is NOT the only way to get rid of them.
There are home remedies and effective non-surgical dark eye circles removal treatments widely available in Singapore.
What are Dark Eye Circles?
Dark eye circles are commonly seen as dark patches under the eyes which occur regardless of age and genders. Often caused by a combination of lifestyle habits, genetics or natural ageing, dark circles usually make you appear older than you are and can be tricky to get rid of.
There are 3 common types of dark eye circles:
Pigmented
Brown hue due to overproduction or poor distribution of melanin in the skin around the eyes
Vascular
Blue or purple hue with or without puffiness due to poor microcirculation of the blood and lymphatic liquid around eye
Structural
Shadow hue often associated with lower eyelid bags and grooves or loss of fat on your facial bone structure
What causes Dark Eye Circles?
Although the appearance of dark eye circles under your eyes are most commonly known to be caused by fatigue, there are other causes as well. Knowing the cause of these stubborn dark eye circles helps to determine the suitable treatment for Dark Eye Circles Removal and how else you can prevent it from worsening.
Volume Loss
As you age, you lose collagen, fat and bone in the face, this creates hollowness and a sunken eye appearance
Genetics
Genetics can play a role in how discolored, thick or thin your skin becomes. If a relative has dark circles, chances are you will too
Allergies
Allergy can cause congestion of blood vessels at the undereye region, which are easily seen due to the thin undereye skin.
Fatigue
Lack of sleep causes skin to grow pale, resulting in blood vessels beneath the skin to become more apparent
Pigmentation
Undereye skin is prone to pigmentation as the skin is very delicate and most forget to apply skin protection close enough to the undereye.
Circulation
Poor circulation causes fluid imbalance and insufficient toxin drainage away from the delicate under-eye area
