Why do I have such bad bags under my eyes - I sleep OK but they look like big bruises.?

Question

Is there anything i can do to get rid of them?

Answer 1

Dark circles are often caused due to sleeplessness or disturbed sleep. If you find yourself developing dark circles, you need to first catch up on your sleep. Genetics too could predispose you to developing dark circles.

Other factors causing dark under-eye circles include:

Drinking an excess of beverages that contain caffeine
Smoking
Allergies
Thyroid problems
A lack of iron in your body during menstruation. This often contributes to dark circles, which is why some women have a tendency to develop dark circles during their period.

Remedies

First of all, try and figure out the reason you have developed dark circles. Have you always had them? Are they a recent occurrence? Does your mother have dark circles under the eyes as well? Once you can pinpoint the cause for dark circles, it would be much easier for you to get rid of them.

1. Are you allergic to something? If yes, work on avoiding the allergens.

2. Apply Vitamin E to the area under your eye. You could open up a Vitamin E capsule, and apply a little oil. Swallow the rest of the oil. This not only helps you get rid of dark circles, but also reduces puffiness around the eyes. In addition, regular application of Vitamin E delays the onset of wrinkles.

3. Apply creams that contain Vitamin C.

4. Often dark circles and under-eye puffiness is caused due to sinusitis. Jal Neti is extremely beneficial in such cases, as it internally cleanses your entire facial region, rejuvenating it. Do the Jal Neti at least five times a week to clean out your entire nasal passage.

5. Swallow a capsule of cod liver oil everyday. It strengthens eyes.

6. Take a teaspoon of tomato juice, a few drops of lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and a little flour, enough to make a paste. Apply this paste to the under-eye area, and wash off after fifteen minutes.

7. Drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday. There is no stressing this enough. If you do not drink at least eight glasses of water everyday, you are not providing your body with as much water as it requires for flushing out toxins. Do not wait until you are thirsty before drinking up. By the time your body cries I'm thirsty! you are already severely dehydrated.

8. Avoid stepping out in the sun, especially between noon to four, when the sun is at its strongest. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, and the delicate skin around it, from the harmful effects of UV radiation.

9. Apply a cold, used tea bag to your eyes. You could also applied used, cold, herbal tea leaves to your eyes, to sooth them.

10. Apply a concealer to the area under your eyes, to hide dark circles. Use a colour that is every so slightly lighter than the shade of your skin. Apply the concealer gently; do not stretch or pull the skin from this delicate area

11. Lie down, close your eyes and apply cucumber or potato slices to your lids. Leave on for ten minutes and remove. Wash the area with cold water. This soothes tired eyes instantly, and helps boost blood circulation in the under-eye area

Well, I hope it is something like vitamin or mineral deficiency in your case so that your able to simply fix the problem. I have tried many of the suggestions being made by others just to be somewhat disappointed when nothing seems to work. After talking to a specialist, I was told that lack of sleep can make them worse, but I was truly unfortunate in the fact that I am extremely fair complected, which in turn make the average light discolourations under the eye, which comes as we start into our 30's seem much more dramatic because of my skin tone. Also, my opinion on the best way to see what your deficient in is to have a hair and mineral analysis which goes back way longer than blood tests, and tells a whole myriad of highs and lows, and are very informative about what's going on with your body. Good Luck!

Answer 5

Try to get more an more comfortable sleep. You could try to get a feather or fiber bed at Bed, Bath and Junk or just sleep with cukes over your eyes. If you roll around a lot, (like me) just apply a thin layer of aloe vera lotion but don't rub it in, leave it on. Then, in the morning, rub it in and rub in a little baby oil in the surrounding area.

Answer 6

Try to get more sleep.
I use Clarins Under Eye Gel to help if my eyes look a bit puffy. Alternatively you could whip up some egg whites and spread this over your face, it helps to tighten the skin. Or lie down and put some cucumber slices on your eyes.

Answer 7

Thyroid disease is one of the most common health problems we face today. From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to approach this issue. Learn here https://tr.im/QdG4B

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is a very common problem, and there are many reasons for this, including drinking chlorinated and fluoridated water, and eating brominated flour.

Chlorine, fluoride, and bromine are all in the same family as iodine, and can displace iodine in your thyroid gland.

Secondly, many people simply aren't getting enough iodine in their diet to begin with. The amount you get from iodized salt is just barely enough to prevent you from getting a goiter.
