Bruises (dark circles under the eyes) are a condition that affects millions of people around the world. They are yellow-blue, gray and purple. Contrary to appearances, they are not only a cosmetic defect, but in many cases may be a symptom of a disease. Read about which diseases dark circles under the eyes can inform us.
Dark circles under the eyes are most often the result of a sleepless night and fatigue, which leads to lymph stagnation in this area. This condition disappears after rest and after cold compresses that relax the eye area, facilitating the outflow of lymph. Bruising is genetic. People with a blue eye area often come across and explain that “such is its charm”. This is true because we inherit the distribution of both subcutaneous fat and blood vessel networks. Dark circles under the eyes are a symptom of allergies to e.g. cosmetics ingredients, chemicals, pet hair, dust, mites and even food. Intense coloration under the eye may be the result of smoking (the so-called smoker’s skin – gray and blue under the eye), alcohol abuse and drinking too much coffee.
To improve the condition of the skin around the eyes and more, reach for the Plant botox in a fig opuntia roll-on, which you can buy at a promotional price on Medonet Market. We also recommend Serum for dark circles and puffiness under the eyes in the Punica roll-on from Herbal Island.
In some people, dark circles under the eyes appear in response to stress. Dark circles around the eye area can also be caused by exposure to the sun and inadequate care of this sensitive area. However, the most common cause of dark circles under the eyes is age. As a result of the aging processes, the skin around the eye becomes thin, even parchment-like, revealing the entire network of blood vessels. They are blue to dark purple in color, which makes the skin under the eye look delicate and bluish.
A lot of relief for tired eyes will be provided by compresses, e.g. made of firefly herb. You can buy firefly herb in sachets at a promotional price on Medonet Market.
We also recommend Oleiq Damascus rose hydrolate for swollen and bruised eye areas. Moisturizing and rejuvenating effect is also the natural silk eye mask with Orientana Japanese cherry. All these cosmetics are available on Medonet Market.
Sometimes dark circles under the eyes can be a symptom of diseases that are dangerous to our health. Therefore, if they persist for too long, their color deepens, and we suffer from other ailments, consult a doctor.
Dark circles under the eyes may be a symptom:
- liver, kidney and spleen diseases,
- diabetes
- hypothyroidism and thyroiditis – these ailments lead to the penetration of complex sugar molecules under the skin of the face, which causes bruises, discoloration, swelling and stagnation of fat cells growth,
- arterial hypertension,
- dermatomyositis – dermatomyositis (DM) – loss of collagen in the skin and other tissues is manifested by swelling and a purple rim around the eye sockets (so-called pseudo-glasses),
- allergic conjunctivitis with accompanying symptoms – apart from bruises under the eyes, there is swelling of the eyelids, conjunctivitis,
- allergic rhinitis – so-called allergic shadows. Permanent stagnation of venous blood in the paranasal sinuses puts pressure on the eye area and the inner corners of the eye, causing a darker color of the eye,
- atopic dermatitis – in the course of AD, very dark circles appear around the eyes and the eyelids are swollen,
- anemia (anemia),
- malnutrition or dehydration – dark circles under the eyes may indicate a deficiency of vitamins, electrolytes (e.g. iron and vitamin K).
To reduce dark circles under the eyes, use the D’Arsonval Cosmetic Face Multifunctional Device, which you can use yourself at home. Also remember to apply the appropriate serum, eg. Bye Eye Bag FEEDSKIN under the eye serum for daily use is currently available at a promotional price.
While the cause of dark circles under the eyes is not associated with disease, we can:
- mask the shadows with cosmetic products (eye concealer),
- use creams that brighten the eye area,
- use advanced treatments in a beauty salon,
- perform self-treatments at home – home remedies for dark circles under the eyes include: cold compresses, cucumber slices compresses, tea compresses, massage of the eye area,
- take care of the proper hydration of the body, exercise in the fresh air, healthy sleep and a balanced diet.
We recommend Eye creams available on Medonet Market. You can, for example, reach for Bioherba’s Rejuvenating Eye Cosmetics Set, which includes: Eye Cream and Eye Serum. It is also worth reaching for special massage devices, such as the B-Looky Sonic Eye Massager, which can be used at home.
