Causes of dark circles

Speaking of dark circles, everyone will think of the funny panda eyes. Dark circles are now common among many young people. Many people will find that they have dark circles under their eyes after staying up late. Some are relatively light and can be covered with makeup, while some are very heavy and have to wear sunglasses when going out. Nowadays, many people spend their days staying up late. This has led to more and more people having dark circles under their eyes.

It usually takes some time for dark circles to disappear completely, which will affect your normal work. You can't go to work or study with dark circles under your eyes. Of course, dark circles are also a signal telling people that they should get a good rest. Many people don’t know how dark circles are formed. Today I will share with you the reasons why dark circles are formed.

The formation of dark circles is related to the following factors:

1. Genetic constitution and physiological structure. When the skin around the eye sockets is particularly thin and the subcutaneous tissue is particularly scarce, when blood flows through the large veins here, a blue-black halo will appear very close to the surface of the skin, which is called dark circles.

2. Lack of sleep and excessive fatigue prevent the eyelids from getting rest and keep them in a tense and contracted state. The blood flow to this area increases for a long time, causing the blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissue around the eyes to become filled, which leads to congestion around the eyes and leaves a dark shadow.

3. Deficiency of kidney qi causes the eyes to lack the nourishment of essence and qi, causing black to float on the eyes, resulting in dark circles under the eyes.

4. People who have been ill for a long time or have just recovered from a serious illness are prone to pigmentation due to the weak subcutaneous tissue around the eyes. The pigmentation is easily revealed on the upper and lower eyelids, resulting in the appearance of a layer of dark circles.

5.

Dark circles will gradually deepen for women with irregular menstruation, functional uterine bleeding, primary dysmenorrhea, early or late menstruation, prolonged or heavy menstruation, late pregnancy, or old age. Other factors may also cause dark circles, including genetics, excessive use of cosmetics that causes the penetration of pigment particles, and excessive sexual intercourse.

After dark circles are formed, you should take symptomatic treatment, consult a doctor, find out the cause, and treat it in time; for dark circles caused by depression, you should maintain a happy spirit, reduce mental burden, live a regular life, control smoking and drinking, ensure adequate sleep, promote vigorous qi and blood, and make your face radiant; strengthen eye massage, improve local blood circulation, and reduce blood stasis; for hereditary and difficult-to-treat dark circles, you should focus on maintaining the nutritional supply of the eye skin, such as applying an oily and hydrating eye cream to make the eye skin and subcutaneous tissue full of vitality and fade dark circles.

Some people believe that after dark circles form, you can cut potato slices into slices and stick them on your eyes for about 4 to 5 minutes; or you can use gauze dipped in tea leaves to rub around the eye circles to reduce the dark circles, but this is not recognized by the medical community. For incurable congenital dark circles, you can go to a beauty salon for special treatment.

The above are the causes of dark circles under the eyes. After reading the causes of dark circles under the eyes, you can more effectively prevent dark circles from appearing on your eyes. Of course, people who often have dark circles under their eyes should also pay more attention to rest so that they can stay healthy.
