Removing Dark Under Eye Circles Is There Hope? by Terry Johnston Removing dark under eye circles can seem overwhelming, but once you understand the cause of dark circles under the eyes you can find the solution that works for you. There can be a number of causes for dark circles under the eyes; As we age the skin under our eyes loses thickness and much of the natural fat pad. Sun damage weakens the skin under the eyes. A victim of the sun, our environment, and the years. Our skin thins out and loses elasticity, moisture and our natural collagen production decreases. This is most pronounced in the skin just under the eyes. This thinner skin allows blood vessels to become much more noticeable causing a look of darkness. Bodily fluids can become trapped in this thinner skin. This trapped blood darkens the area and/or creates puffiness. This can worsen the look of dark circles and/or puffiness because the skin has lost its ability to drain these fluids away. Allergies can be a cause dark circles. Fluid retention caused by excess salt in the diet is another cause. Dehydration is a very common cause of dark circles under the eyes. People will often mistake dehydration for hunger and eat when they should in fact be drinking plenty of fresh clean water -- everyday. Lack of sleep is an other cause of dark circles. Sleep deprived skin becomes more pale increasing the look of dark areas under the eyes. Sometimes it's genetics. Certain people are predisposed to having dark circles under their eyes. More often than not it is a combination of these factors. Lucky there are options available. Common simple remedies are things like: Cold moist tea bags over the eyes -- Not herbal though -- it must be real tea. Experts have long maintained cucumber slices placed over the closed eyes for 15 minutes will do the trick. These methods do help as a quick fix because they can temporarily reduce inflammation in the area. Many suspect it is simply the coolness of the tea bag or cucumber that reduces puffiness and dark areas. The same as cold compresses on swollen tissue. For a more permanent solution you need something that will attack the inflammation on an ongoing basis. The best method of removing dark under eye circles -- long term -- is to replenishing missing natural ingredients that were once plentiful in your skin. Elements like collagen, elastin, Coenzyme Q10, and moisture. Older thinned skin has reduced levels of all these elements. Certain skin care products that contain elastin or collagen or CoQ10 are useless. Added collagen cannot penetrate skin. Collagen must be produced by your body to be useful. Look for skin care products that promote elastin and collagen re-growth. Antioxidants reach deeply into cells eliminating free radicals and stimulating new cell growth. This will firm, thicken and allow proper drainage of the skin. So what type of eye cream product do you pick for removing dark under eye circles? One the contains breakthrough ingredients like "eyeliss TM" and "Haloxyl TM" -- clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of these ingredients. What else will you want? Cynergy TK -- a patented bio active keratin which promotes new growth of elastin and collagen with in the skin cells. CoQ10 -- Some less than reputable skin care manufacturers will advertise their product contains Coenzyme Q10. What they don't mention is that CoQ10 in this form cannot be absorbed by the skin. Nano-Lipobelle H-EQ10 -- a special nano version of CoQ10 that CAN penetrate through 7 layers of skin-- eliminating free radicals. Active Manuka Honey - found only in New Zealand is proven to aid healing of damaged tissue. Mixed with Vitamin E it works quickly to repair and revitalize skin.
