Erasing
Dark Circles-
1.
Water retention during sleep can cause lower lids to swell,
increasing shadows beneath the eyes, aka dark circles. Watch your sodium
intake, drink plenty of water, and sleep with your head slightly raised on a
pillow.
2.
The skin under the eyes is thin and delicate to begin with, and
gets more so as we age–the thinner the skin, the more visible veins underneath
the eyes become. Sun exposure exacerbates this, so be sure to use an
all-natural sunscreen for delicate eye areas.
3.
Food allergies and/or sensitivities can create dark circles; hence
the term “allergy shiner.” Do you have any food allergies or sensitivities? You
may not even know it, some suggest that serious dark circles alone are reason
to be tested for food allergies or sensitivities.
4.
At some point, you may have to thank dear old mom or dad; dark
circles under the eyes runs in families.
5.
Sometimes anemia can contribute to dark circles, check out other
anemia symptoms to strike it from the list.
6.
Dehydration. Drink enough water and herbal tea to make sure that
you are not dehydrated.
7.
And finally, a plain old lack of sleep can make circles appear
darker. So get your 7 to 8 hours in.
