Do you have those dreaded dark circles underneath your eyes? Many people have to deal with this problem at some point, but it definitely isn’t something to look forward to. Dark circles or “bags” can be caused from several different factors, including but not limited to genetics, poor diet, lack of sleep, and iron deficiencies. Depending on what your bags are caused from, there are several things you can do to relieve those dark circles and start looking refreshed again without having to get under eye surgery and spend a lot of money.
Lack of sleep is a common cause of under eye bags for many people. If you do not get enough sleep, your body has to work harder to circulate blood throughout your body properly and you naturally get that tired looking puffiness. This shows clearly under your eyes. Try to get yourself on a regular sleep schedule with a full eight hours a night of sleep. If you cannot manage to get 8 hours a night, get as much as you can and try to make time for a cat nap during the day. Work on getting better quality of sleep along with quantity.
Your diet has a lot to do with whether or not you develop under eye bags also. What you eat effects every aspect of your body, and changing your eating habits could make those under eye bags disappear or at least appear less noticeable. Try to eat a well rounded diet every day full of lots of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. Eat foods that are high in iron, which promotes healthy blood development and circulation. It will also help to take daily multivitamins and supplements. Lack of certain vitamins has a negative effect on under eye bags.
In many cases, under eye bags are caused in part by heredity and genetics. If under eye bags seem to be common with your parents and close family, there might not be much you can do to fix the problem. However, getting better Quality of sleep and changing your diet with supplements may still help the problem a little so that they aren’t as noticeable. Try these tips first and if it does not help after a period of time, It might be time to think about alternative treatment, tips, or cosmetic surgery.
