The only rings that women hate are dark eye rings. Some of us may notice the dark circles under our eyes have a bluish tint, while others may detect a brownish tone. Brown under eye circles are mainly caused by excessive melanin production in the epidermis layer of the skin.
While blue under-eye circles may be harder to conceal, they are also easier to get rid off. The bluish tint is due to broken capillaries and bad blood circulation around the eye area. The thin skin around your eyes (around 0.5 mm thick compared with 2 mm in other areas) makes the blue tint more obvious. Lack of sleep and fatigue causes the skin to look pale, hence aggravating the dark eye circles. Medical conditions such as eczema, allergies or any condition that makes the eyes itch can also contribute to the problem.
Puffiness
Is everyone telling you how tired you look when you're not feeling so? If so, it's a safe bet you've got some under eye "baggage".
Puffy lower lids are caused by various lifestyle factors which include high salt intake, excessive alcohol consumption and water retention. Medical conditions such as sinus is also one of the main culprits for puffy eye bags. Our sinuses drain just below our eyes; a process that mostly occurs while we are sleeping. This draining slows down if we do not get enough sleep, which is why fatigue can also cause our eyes to swell.
What you can do:
Get enough rest.
Watch your sodium intake.
Do not drink large amounts of fluids just before you sleep
Sleep with your head propped up so that fluids do not accumulate in your eye area.
Massage your eye regularly to flush out excess fluid.
Place chilled cucumber slices/cold spoons on your eye area to constrict blood vessels, diminish the flow of fluid into tissues and reduce swelling.
the skin around your eye area is extremely delicate, and once fine lines start to form, it's double the work to get your collagen back. an eye cream/gel is a good investment to keep your eye area supple.
