How To Eliminate Dark Circles Under Eyes

During Halloween, having dark circles under eyes may prove to be a blessing; if you have them, you won’t need to put too much make-up on to make you look scary.
On other days, though, it is a sad reality that these dark circles make anyone who has them look frightening.  It’s downright irritating that everyone thinks right away that you may have a serious problem keeping you up all the time, or that you are always tired even if you are not.
Having dark circles is just not a cool look, except as mentioned earlier, during Halloween.  During office meetings, how can you impress your bosses when you don’t look sharp because of your puffy eyes and your dark circles?
How can you convince everyone that you are fine when you look like you haven’t slept in days?
Dark circles in your eyes are a hassle, and you need to find ways to get rid of, or at least cover, them.
There are a number of factors that contribute to people having dark circles under eyes.  One of these factors is the dilation of blood vessels due to fluid retention.  If a person has excessive amounts of salt in his or her diet, or if he or she smokes, or has a medical condition like liver disease, these can cause water retention, which in turn makes the blood vessels in the region under the eyes become engorged.
When these blood vessels increase in size, their color becomes more visible through the skin and thus contributes to the dark appearance of the region below the eyes.  Although the lack of sleep does not directly affect the condition of the eye region, the rest of the face becomes paler when a person is sleep deprived.
This makes the dark color of the veins in that region stand out more.  Lastly, a bluish hue below the eyes can also be seen in a person that has iron deficiency anemia.
With dark circles under eyes, you don’t need to think of it as a helpless situation that you do not have control over and cannot find a solution for.
You do not need to resort to buying expensive eye creams that can only rid you of one or two symptoms and still does not address the entire problem, leaving you with a deep hole on your pocket.
Why not try natural solutions first?  After all, they may prove to be as effective as those expensive eye creams but only costs a fraction, or sometimes even free.  Getting more sleep is a practical solution.
As mentioned earlier, getting less sleep does not really equate to dark circles, although having less sleep certainly makes the rest of your skin paler and doesn’t help your blood circulation at all.
Try sleeping more and see a difference in your face’s complexion and a lessening of your eye’s puffiness.
Easing the blood vessels of your eye area can also be done by putting an ice cube in a soft cloth and gently patting the darkened area.  The putting of cucumber slices in your eyes may actually look clich?, but it has been a time-tested and proven remedy to cool the eyes and lessen puffiness.
It also soothes the blood vessels in the area below the eyes to keep them in their normal, un-engorged state, causing your dark circles to lessen in visual prominence.
