Dark circles under the eyes can develop due to a variety of reasons, including lack of sleep, stress, allergies, or even genetics. These dark circles tend to make you look tired and older than your actual age. While various products in the market claim to reduce dark circles, not all effectively address them. At the Dermed Clinic of Johor Bahru, we offer treatments and home remedies for addressing dark circles. Let’s take a closer look at five ways you can reduce dark circles under the eyes:
- Get enough sleep. Lack of sleep is one of the most common causes of dark circles under the eyes. When we don’t get enough rest, our skin becomes dull and pale, making the blood vessels under our eyes more visible. Aim for at least seven to nine hours of sleep every night to give your body and skin enough time to rejuvenate.
- Use eye creams or serums containing Vitamin C or retinol. These ingredients help to brighten and tighten the skin under your eyes, reducing the appearance of dark undereye circles. Look for products specifically designed for the delicate skin around the eyes and use them consistently as part of your skincare routine.
- Apply cool compresses. Placing a cold compress on your eyes can help constrict blood vessels, reducing swelling and puffiness that contribute to dark circles. You can use chilled spoons, cucumber slices, or even refrigerated tea bags to soothe your under-eye area and reduce darkness.
- Manage stress levels. Stress not only affects our emotional and mental health, but also impacts our physical appearance. When we are stressed out, our body starts to produce more cortisol, a hormone that can cause blood vessels to dilate and become much more visible under the eyes. Find ways to manage your stress levels through relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga.
- Adjust your diet and hydration habits. Drinking plenty of water helps to flush out toxins from our bodies, which can contribute to dark circles. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in Vitamin K, iron, and antioxidants into your diet can help improve the look of dark circles by strengthening blood vessels and promoting healthy skin.
