How to remove bruises under the eyes at home, remedies for bruises [top 4]

Causes of bruising under the eyes

To choose the right method for correcting blue circles under the eyes, first of all, you should determine the root cause of their occurrence.

  1. The most obvious reason is frequent stress, chronic fatigue and lack of sleep. Due to overwork of the body, the work of the circulatory system is disrupted, and blood stagnates in the capillaries. At the same time, oxygen saturation of the blood decreases and it becomes darker. Translucent through the thin skin of the eyelids, it determines the bluish tint in the lower eyelid area. To neutralize such bruises, it is enough to get enough sleep, but not in all cases the problem is solved by an established daily routine.
  2. Another cause of dark circles is a genetic predisposition. Thin skin, closely spaced vessels, and a predisposition to hyperpigmentation around the eyelids can be inherited. Also, bruising may be due to structural features of the skull (deep-set eyes, pronounced brow ridges or cheekbones) and may appear from an early age.
  3. Blue circles under the eyes are also one of the signs of age-related changes. Over the years, the skin loses its elasticity, firmness and density, the microcirculation of tissues is disrupted, the vessels become fragile, the subcutaneous tissue becomes thinner. All this is a possible cause of bruising and swelling under the eyes.
  4. Brown circles under the eyes can be the result of overexposure to UV radiation. Unprotected, thin, dry skin in the periorbital zone is more susceptible to the negative effects of the external environment, including ultraviolet radiation. To protect yourself from pigmentation under the eyes, use a sunscreen with a high SPF for the area around the eyes.
  5. Bruises under the eyes can be the result of some diseases, for example, circulatory or endocrine. They can provoke stagnation of fluid in the body, which will affect the face with swelling and dark circles.
  6. Wrong lifestyle (low physical activity, unbalanced diet, bad habits) can also negatively affect the condition of the skin, including the eyelids.
  7. Prolonged work at the computer is the main cause of eye strain. As a result, the blood vessels expand, appear through the thin skin of the eyelids and stain it in a blue tint. Remember to periodically take 10-minute breaks, take your eyes off the monitor, and do some relaxing eye exercises.
  8. If bruises under the eyes appeared due to soft tissue injury or bone fracture, it is accompanied by a violation of blood vessels and minor hemorrhage. To get rid of such a defect in one day will not work. Regenerating and stimulating microcirculation agents will help speed up the healing process.
  9. Violation of the body’s water balance can also provoke bruising under the eyes. The skin becomes thinner, loses elasticity, the look becomes sunken, shadows appear in the inner corners of the eyes. Drink enough clean water per day to avoid dehydration.

What can indicate the shade of the skin under the eyes

Bruises under the eyes may differ in color: brown, reddish, bluish, purple – depending on the mechanism of their occurrence. The skin tone around the eyelids can help determine the cause of dark circles and how to correct them:

  • Reddish circles under the eyes may be due to damage to the walls of blood vessels due to mechanical damage or internal pressure. To correct such bruises and reduce the risk of their reoccurrence, components that strengthen the walls of blood vessels, such as escin, dextran, or gingko biloba, will help.
  • Cyanotic circles in the periorbital zone may be the result of impaired microcirculation and stagnation of dark blood in the capillaries. Components that normalize microcirculation, for example, caffeine, peptides, will help.
  • Brown darkening can be triggered by an increased content of melanin in the eyelids. Look for brightening products based on vitamin C, niacinamide, retinol, eperulin, and procysteine.

  • Plasmolifting is a method of correcting dark circles by injecting a drug based on the patient’s blood plasma under the skin. The procedure accelerates cell regeneration, improves the immune properties of the skin, corrects aesthetic imperfections: bruises, wrinkles, swelling under the eyes.
