Why Do We Get Dark Circles Under Our Eyes?

Vitamin K
Vitamin K helps with blood coagulation and circulation. Since poor circulation can increase the appearance of dark circles, consuming enough foods high in vitamin k such as liver, broccoli, green leafy vegetables, and strawberries, may lighten the circles under your eyes. Many eye creams also contain vitamin K and vitamin A for this reason.
Common Home Remedies For Dark Circles
  • Try a cold compress, two chilled teaspoons or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a soft cloth to temporarily reduce dilated and discolored under-eye blood vessels.
  • Elevate your head with two or more pillows to prevent puffiness that develops when fluid pools in your lower eyelids.
  • Cucumbers have a subtle, mild skin lightening effect, which is why placing cucumber slices on the eyes is used to diminish dark circles.ThinkstockPhotos-78768867
Dark circles may be a sign of inadequate sleep, however, persistent dark circles may warrant a visit to your doctor in order to rule out other possible health concerns.
