If you claim you want to look older your years and say you are content with the way time takes its toll on your beauty, then go ahead with your denial. Of course, no one wants to be told they are older than what they look. Sad to note, in this time, there are many interferences to having the absolutely exquisite skin. In an accelerated decade with the rise of more pollutants, dark eye circles are by all odds tough to avoid. Dark under eye circles are hence a true to life evidence of the cruelties of time and lifestyle.
Dark circles can make you lose that distinctive radiance, getting you look dull, tired, drained, and older your age. The outcome? Low enough to be buried self esteem, insecurity, as well as inferiority.
The age old under eye problem is due to an extensive range of reasons. It may be hereditary, it may be environmental. Contradictory to common belief, stress alone is not enough reason for the presence of eyebags and dark circles below the eyes.
Genetics also bears its own portion of the blame. It is oftentimes seen by families and can be passed down as a trait from generation to generation, which makes it broadly ancestral in nature. Lifestyle elements as well impart greatly to the presence of eyebags and dark under eyes. Lack of sleep as well as iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are associated to the presence of eyebags. Dehydration in specific may induce fluid retention since the body is enabled (as an adaptive mechanism) to hold water, in the process making the eyes become enlarged and engorged.
Dermatologists and plastic surgeons suggest that this may be due to escape of blood from capillaries peripheral to the eye area, thus giving eyebags its characteristic color. Oxidation induces the blood to turn into a bluish red tint, similar to the physical characteristics of bruises. Nonetheless, the skin around the eye area is very thin, thus resulting to easy detection of the blood that had worked up round the eye area. This plain leads to the appearance of unattractive dark circles. The thinner the skin, the darker the circles. And this is just the dreaded part for those born with thin skin!
Even in the presence of several methods and tips commonly advised for the relief of dark under eye circles, the most popular method today are the under eye creams, which I will talk about in this article. Due to huge availability, under eye creams are a simplified answer for dark under eyes today.
Therefore, in choosing efficient under eye creams, here are a couple of tips that need to be considered:
1. Good Components. It should bear ingredients that are clinically proven, since good components help foster to a greater extent the output of collagen as well as elastin.
2. Friendly To The Skin. It should be hypoallergenic and skin friendly, or else the aging signs will be due to irritation caused by the extra components in the cream.
3. Stop Hemoglobin Accumulation. It should be adequately strong to inhibit collection of hemoglobin in the surrounding eye area, since hemoglobin from capillary leaks is responsible for the visibility of dark marks encircling the eyes.
