The black circles is a common problem that many women face as they appear under the eyes and look for ways to eliminate them. For this reason, concealers have become one of the most beloved products in a woman’s toiletry bag! However, it’s important to focus on skin care from the inside out, with hydration playing a leading role, as we’ll see below.

Dark circles can be caused by a number of factors, including:

Genetic: Some people are predisposed to having darker skin under their eyes.

Aging: Over time, the skin thins and blood vessels become more visible.

Iron deficiency/iron deficiency anemia: It occurs when there is a lack of iron in the body. It is most often caused by blood loss and less often by poor absorption of iron and is directly related to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.

Fatigue and lack of sleep: Insufficient rest can cause dark circles.

Allergies: Allergic reactions can make the blood vessels under the eyes more visible.

Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can cause heavier cycles.

Sun exposure: Too much sunlight increases skin pigmentation.

Smoking and alcohol: These habits can worsen the breakdown of collagen, leading to dark circles.

To reduce dark circles, you can try the following:

Adequate sleep: Get 7-9 hours of sleep every night.

Good hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep skin hydrated.

Allergy Management: Consult a specialist to check your allergies.

Use of sunscreen: Wear sunscreen and sunglasses for sun protection.

There are also local treatments:

Eye creams and serums: Look for products that contain vitamin C, vitamin K, hyaluronic acid and peptides, which help improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation.

Ice: Use ice cubes or cucumber slices to temporarily reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Cosmetic concealers: Makeup can help cover dark circles.

If dark circles persist, it’s a good idea to consult a dermatologist for personalized suggestions or treatments.
