What causes of my dark undereye circles? What can I do about it?

Question

Wearing makeup to cover them only helps a little.

Answer 1

Maybe it's possible that genetics, the nature of the skin beneath the eyes, water intake, and or age could contribute to your so-called "raccoon" look. Pronounced undereye circles are often passed down, genetically, within families.you may check which of your relatives having the same problem. Another cause is rubbing your eyes excessively can make the dark circles worse. Dehydration can also make the circles more obvious. If you normally don't drink much water, perhaps you can add a few more glasses to your daily liquid intake. You can solve this problem by applying HYLEXIN to help reduce hemoglobin degradation by optimizing enzymatic activity... causing the red-blue pigmentation to fade. studies also confirm that Hylexin™ actually helps strengthen the capillary matrix to help stop the "leaking"... so your orbital eye area is protected against further damage.

Answer 2

There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

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.

Answer 3

I've read in my travels that dark undereye circles could be lack of sleep or allergies due to increased blood flow in the sinuses.
