Circles Under My Eyes?
Question:
I work a lot, but even on the weekends, when I make it a point to sleep in, I ALWAYS have these circles under my eyes.
Some days are worse than others. Sometimes people I work with or even my girlfriend will ask me if I got punched in the face, because of my eyes. It looks like I've got black eyes all the time, like I've lost a fight or something.
Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?
Answers:
Well there are several things that can cause dark circles under the eyes. but the three most likely ones are genetics (having a family with the kind of skin that makes dark circles more likely), fluid retention (which causes puffiness that may cast shadows) and aging, which thins and relaxes the skin around the eyes.
Bags under the eyes, formed of fatty tissue and fluid, form early in some families. Shadows from overhead lighting may cause the appearance of circles, or thin skin on the lower eyelid may let the dark-red or purple inside of the lid show through.
If fluid is retained in the body, the bags can get even bigger. Some conditions that cause fluid retention include heart, thyroid, kidney and liver problems, high blood pressure and premenstrual bloating. Some medications can also cause fluid problems
Fatigue may make muscles relax or lose their tone, with the same results, but fatigue is probably not as big a cause as the other three.
To avoid dark circles, cut salt intake, to fight fluid retention, and try sleeping with extra pillows, to let gravity fight the pooling of liquid.
Sometimes the solution to circles and bags may be as simple as stopping the use of an irritating cosmetic, like mascara, which may contain a dye to which some people are allergic.
In some people, puffiness results from a protrusion of excess fat around the eyes. There are two fat pads on the upper lid and three on the lower, giving many people that tired, haggard look. The fat pads also run in families and are not related to excess weight. The pads can be removed with a kind of plastic surgery called blepharoplasty.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off. Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.
