Dark circles and bags under the eyes can make you appear older, fatigued and unhealthy.

The most frustrating part about these disturbing blemishes is the fact that age is not a defining aspect.

They could affect almost anyone and frequent causes are allergies, dehydration, tiredness and even anemia.

Dark circles might appear as an indicator of an adrenal glands dysfunction, a neurological disorder or an inappropriate diet based on too much salt or caffeine.

The discolouration is thanks to tiny broken capillaries which can show through as dark patches – and the more fragile the thin skin there becomes, the more ‘shadows’ show.

First of all, you should assure that you don’t have any health problems, so consider having a medical check-up.

If you made sure your health is not at risk, the next approach is to make a few changes in your diet.

Try consuming only fresh and nutritious food such as salads, soups or stews seasoned with aromatic herbs.

Replace traditional salt with sea salt and drink as much water as possible.

Keeping your body hydrated is the easiest beauty trick you could do for yourself.

Once you managed to make these changes, make sure you rest enough.

While sleeping, your body enters in a natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, repairing and replacing your damaged cells.

Also, try to use a light eye crème, based on silicone and an SPF lotion, in order to stop the production of melanin. And, don’t forget to put on your sunglasses!
