How to Get Rid of Dark Circles and Bags Under Eyes?

If you are like most of us, your eyes are one of the first things people notice about you. The skin around your eyes is also the thinnest on your body and, therefore, prone to showing signs of aging and fatigue. What's more, dark circles under your eyes and puffy bags can make it look like you hadn't slept in days when it was just because of a long day at work or a bad night's sleep. Fortunately, there are many ways to get rid of dark circles and bags under your eyes naturally to look refreshed and younger than ever!

What Causes Dark Under-Eye Circles?

To know what products you can use, you first need to understand the cause of the dark circles under your eyes. The following are some of the most common causes of dark under-eye circles:

• Lack of sleep: Inadequate sleep is one of the most common reasons for eye discoloration. If you don't get enough rest throughout the night, it can cause dark circles because it reduces your body's ability to produce melanin (the pigment in the skin).

• Fatigue: Being tired or exhausted can also give rise to dark under-eye circles because they make your face appear pale and drained out due to low levels of body fluids, reflecting light and making it appear darker than usual. Similarly, if you're fatigued when going to bed at night and wake up with puffy eyes in the morning, this means that there's more fluid retention within your cheeks, thus giving rise to puffiness around them which makes them look darker than usual.

• Dehydration: When dehydrated, your eyes may look sunken, and your skin can appear dull, increasing the appearance of dark circles under your eyes.

How Do You Get Rid of Dark Circles?

So, how can you get rid of the dark circles under your eyes? The following natural methods can help to reduce the circles and puffiness:

• Apply an eye mask. If you have an event and need to see results quickly, you can apply an eye mask for faster results. We would recommend Wrinkle Away RED Microcurrent Dual Eye Mask as it targets the dark circles under your eyes and gives you a microcurrent eye-lift while making your eyes look fresh and young.

• Get more sleep. Sleeping less than 5 hours per night can increase the appearance of wrinkles and make you look older by up to 10 years.

• Reduce stress. Stress has been linked to many health problems, including headaches, heart disease, diabetes, asthma attacks, and depression which can all cause dark circles around the eyes due to increased muscle tension throughout the body.

• Eat healthier foods. Eating foods that contain vitamins A & C as antioxidants can help repair damaged skin cells around our eyes which helps reduce dark circles caused by aging or lack of adequate blood flow from poor circulation through this area.

• Use a cold compress. Using a cold compress on the area under your eyes for 5-10 minutes before bedtime every night to help reduce puffiness and inflammation in that area overnight as well as help with dark circles in general by reducing blood flow to that area when you sleep, so it doesn't get as much oxygen while you're resting. This works exceptionally well with drinking plenty of water throughout the day!

What to Look For in Eye Serums

There are plenty of products on the market that can help improve the dark circles under your eyes, but it is important that you look for an eye serum specially formulated to treat dark circles and bags under the eyes. Look for one that contains:

• Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate: This ingredient helps to increase your skin's elasticity and reduce wrinkles.

• Methionyl r-Clostridium Botulinum Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40: This ingredient is created through the recombination of the "Macromolecule Transmission Domain" (MTD) peptide, which can penetrate skin and target cells, and the "Light Chain" active protein of the botulinum toxin.

• Niacinamide: This ingredient helps to build Keratin. It can also aid in developing your skin's ceramide (lipid) barrier, which can help in moisture retention.

• Adenosine: This ingredient is known to help energize the skin, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

We recommend trying Botalin Age Repair Eye Serum as it contains all these ingredients and helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags under the eyes.
