Zombie dark circle decoration is easy to get (hello, non-stop partying!). But getting rid of it is unrealistically difficult. Of course, you can use the corrector, but this is just a disguise. We need more efficient methods.

The characteristic dark marks around the eyes, like those of a panda, are not only a sign of those who go to bed late and get up early. They may appear due to other factors, some of which we have listed below.
Stress and lack of sleep.
Violation of the liver.
Deterioration of microcirculation and blood circulation in general, vasoconstriction, blood stasis (this is also associated with smoking).
Inflammatory and / or allergic reaction (circles become reddish).
Hormonal changes in which the melanin pigment is activated and brownish circles appear. This often happens during pregnancy.
Individual features: very thin skin, closely located vessels.

How to get rid of dark circles: general recommendations
If they are related to the general state of health, then until it is corrected, the circles will not disappear. But if the darkening under the eyes appeared as a result of lifestyle habits, you can achieve their disappearance. Here’s what it takes.

Improve blood circulation in the area around the eyes.

It will not be possible to choose just one of the above tasks: a full-fledged and, most importantly, effective solution to the problem implies an integrated approach.
Practice good sleep hygiene
Good sleep reduces the appearance of dark circles to zero.
To do this, you just need to follow a few absolutely simple rules. Here they are.
Ventilate the bedroom before going to bed, try to keep the air temperature no higher than 18-20 ° C.
Turn off all gadgets, including the TV, an hour and a half before going to bed.
Sleep between 23 pm and 00 am (minimum).
Choose the right eye cream
To care for the skin around the eyes, use moisturizers with powerful hydrofixators:
hyaluronic acid;
polyglycerides;
seaweed extract.
Moisturized skin is denser and less transparent, dark circles simply will not be visible.
Also, caffeine, escin, dextran and drainage extracts (for example, chestnut) work well in eyelid products – they accelerate blood flow.
The less wrinkles you have, the lighter the product should be.
If you need mostly drainage, a light cream or gel is a good choice.
If you need lifting, it is better to stay on the usual cream formula.
