Dark Circles Under Eyes –A Treatable Sign of Aging
Dark circles under eyes are the most visible sign of aging. Dark under eye circles make you look and feel older, but you can get rid of dark circles with under eye creams or dark circle eye concealer. Dark under eye circles are one of the most noticeable features of aging skin. They affect many men and women, and can make you look many years older than your true age. Since antiaging is also about looking younger, you will want to get rid of dark circles. This unsightly problem actually affects people of all ages, not just those in advanced age. There are a number of suspected causes, which are listed below: - Tiny ruptured blood vessels close to the skin surface
- Genetically thin skin and deep set eyes
- Anemia (iron deficiency) lack of oxygen causes discoloration of the tissues
- Allergies which cause itching and thus rubbing and scratching
- Medications that cause vasodilatation (blood vessels expand)
- Age causes thinning of the skin under the eyes and blood vessels show through
- Fatigue resulting in pallor (paleness of the skin) allows blood vessels to show through
- Poor circulation and/or dehydration can also cause dark circles under eyes
When more skin pigmentation(melanin) is produced around the eyes it is due to a genetic disorder called periorbital hyperpigmentation. Depending on where the excess melanin is, it can cause either a brown coloration or a blue or blue grey coloration. This can also be the cause of dark under eye circles.
Treatment – Get Rid of Dark CirclesThere are several ways you can treat this problem, depending of course on the cause. You can use a dark circle eye concealer to cover it up. Or you can use under eye creams to alleviate the problem that is causing the discoloration. There are a number of home remedies, some of which you may be familiar with. Lets run down a list of treatments for dark under eye circles: - Home remedies such as teabags, raw potato slice, or cucumber slice over the eyes
- Rest (sleep) and rehydration if those two things are lacking
- "Under Eye Rescue Cream,” containing (N6-furfuyladenine)
- Regu®-Age – A topically applied proprietary rice and soy bran peptide complex with added antioxidants
Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables such as leafy greens, good quality proteins such as chicken, fish, and lean organically raised beef if you are type O or B. Drink several 8 ounce glasses of clean pure water every day.
Remember also that the skin is nourished from the inside out. A good multi vitamin/mineral formula taken several times a day is key. I would also use omega-3 fish oils, and a good multi-source anti oxidant blend such as Market America’s Isotonix OPC-3 would round out your nutritional protocol.
There are other treatments available for this problem, but I have given you enough information to find alternatives for your problem if the above suggestions do not work.You CAN get rid of dark circles under eyes, and keep a more youthful appearance all your life!
