The appearance of blue circles under the eyes may indicate not only fun and lack of sleep that lasted all night. Often this symptom is one of the symptoms of certain diseases of the internal organs. In the absence of any pathology, blue circles under the eyes are due to the peculiarity of the location of the vessels of the eyelids. In any case, this defect can be eliminated.
Blue circles under the eyes
The appearance of blue circles under the eyes is facilitated by the slowed down blood flow through the vessels of the eyelids. This is especially noticeable with the superficial location of the vasculature. Stagnation of blood in the venules of the eyelids leads to edema, and the dilated vessels visible through the skin look like blue circles or bruises under the eyes.
In people with diseases of the hematopoietic organs, this symptom is constant due to impaired blood flow and excessive blood clotting.
With excessive use of alcoholic beverages or drugs, the blood flow through the venules slows down, and the blood stagnates in the dilated vessels. As a result, blue circles under the eyes are not uncommon for such a person.
But there are situations when, against the background of complete health, bags and bruises appear under the eyes. For example, after a sleepless night or chronic lack of sleep. In these cases, against the background of overstrain and fatigue of the body as a whole, there is a decrease in vascular tone. When the venules of the eyelids are located close to the skin, these cosmetic defects appear.
Waking up in the morning and seeing blue circles under your eyes, do not panic. Within an hour, you can get rid of them completely with simple but effective home remedies.
Brew a couple of green tea bags and let sit for 15-20 minutes. Squeeze excess liquid out of the bags lightly and place on eyelids. After 15 minutes, you can remove the bags and do a small massage of the lower eyelids. With a circular motion from the inner corner of the eye to the outer one with slight pressure, the normal tone of the vascular walls can be restored.
Such procedures are also useful in the absence of blue circles. The caffeine in green tea tones the skin of the eyelids. Massage improves blood flow and prevents the early appearance of wrinkles
An equally effective way to get rid of blue circles under the eyes is to apply low temperatures to problem areas. Freeze the water in an ice cube tray and rub your eyelids if you have bruises under your eyes.
Instead of plain water, you can freeze:
- decoction of medicinal plants, such as chamomile
- mineral water
- green tea
- eyelid tonic
For a long time, a homemade mask made from rye flour and honey has been considered the best remedy for bruises and bags under the eyes. It is necessary to take 2 teaspoons of the components and mix until a doughy mass is formed. This mask is applied to the area around the eyes for at least 30 minutes. Instead of rye flour, you can use oatmeal or cornmeal.
Grate raw potatoes on a fine grater and fold in several layers of cheesecloth. Squeeze out the juice lightly and leave it open for 15 minutes until browning. Mask the grated potatoes on your eyelids. After 20 minutes, the product can be removed.
