i get alot of sleep BUT i still have deep circles under my eyes, why?

Question

i get more sleep than is suggested for teens like me.... i get between 8-10 hours of sleep each night. but i have deep dark circle under my eyes. I have allergy shots often, but that doesn't effect the circles. I've had them for as long as i can remember....what do i do?

Answer 1

Vitamin deficiency. Very common for teens. Take a high quality multivitamin with iron.

Answer 2

Dark circles under the eyes are common but usually not permanent. They're often due to temporary changes in the blood vessels under the eyes. Fatigue usually doesn't play a role. . Under-eye circles can also run in families.

Over-the-counter products may help diminish under-eye circles. Look for skin creams that contain vitamin C or K, Treatment for chronic and severe under-eye circles is directed at the underlying cause if known and may include bleaching agents and laser therapy

I have exactly the same problem as you! I drink, eat enough, sleep enough & i still have dark cricles under my eyes too /: i also use undereye concealers which seem to work a bit! :] Here are some tips i found: *Establish whether or not this condition runs in your family. *Drink plenty of water. *Treat your skin while you sleep. There are overnight facial masques available that may help reduce the appearance of puffiness or discoloration, but you can also make your own. *Wash your face with cool to somewhat cold water in the morning or when puffiness occurs. The cold water will cause blood vessels to constrict, and thus reduces swelling. *Apply an eye cream containing vitamin K and retinol. Dark circles may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K. * Avoid rubbing your eyes. Usually rubbing of the eyes is brought on by allergies, but not always. *Eat a healthy, balanced diet and drink plenty of water. A whole host of cosmetic problems can be attributed to vitamin deficiencies. Dark circles and puffiness are often attributed to lack of vitamin K or inadequate antioxidants. *Reduce salt intake. *Cover the problem up with cosmetics. If all else fails, use a yellow or flesh-toned color which will camouflage the problem under your eyes. Hope my tips help! :) x

Answer 4

It could be allergies or it could be heredity. Does anyone else in your family have the circles? If not, it is probably allergies. I'm sure you look just fine the way you are. We all worry about stuff others barely notice.

I noticed you mentioned getting too much sleep in an earlier post. Could you be anemic (low on iron)? That may make you look really pale with dark circles. Also, make sure you're not dehydrated. The circles are also symptoms of that.

Good luck
