Dark Circles Under Eyes: Causes and Solutions

Dark circles under the eyes are a common skin problem among both women and men. There are many reasons and solutions for this condition that many people complain about, from a tired look to aesthetic concerns.

Causes of Dark Circles Under the Eyes

  1. Genetic Factors
    In some people, the skin under the eyes is naturally thinner, which can cause dark circles to be more visible.
  2. Lack of Sleep
    Insufficient sleep can negatively affect blood circulation, leading to the formation of dark circles under the eyes.
  3. Stress and Fatigue
    Stress increases the level of cortisol in the body, negatively affecting the skin structure and can trigger dark circles under the eyes.
  4. Allergies and Sinusitis
    Allergic reactions or sinusitis can cause the blood vessels around the eyes to dilate and darken.
  5. Aging
    As we age, the skin becomes thinner and loses its elasticity. This causes the veins under the eyes to become more visible.

 


Solutions for Dark Circles Under the Eyes

  1. Regular Sleep
    Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Having a healthy sleep pattern also helps skin renewal.
  2. Cold Compress
    Applying a cold tea bag or ice pack under the eyes can reduce puffiness and darkness.
  3. Skin Care Products
    Eye creams containing caffeine, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid can help the skin look brighter and more vibrant.
  4. Diet
    A diet rich in vitamin C, iron and antioxidants helps reduce darkness under the eyes.
  5. Medical Aesthetic Applications
    Among dermatological methods, methods such as filler injections, laser treatments and PRP offer effective solutions.
