If you’ve looked in the mirror and seen those dark half circles directly under your eyes in the morning, you may have wondered what causes them. Looking like dark smudges, as if you accidentally put brownish-gray eye shadow under your eyes instead of above them, dark circles under your eyes aren’t an attractive look.
In fact, they make you look tired, or like you probably partied all night, and now you’re looking your age, plus ten or fifteen years.
But it isn’t being tired (or stressed) that causes dark circles, dermatologists say. Instead, these unwanted dark circles are caused by capillaries (fine blood vessels) that leak blood close to the surface of your skin, and when that skin mixes with oxygen, it turns a bluish-red color, which appears as a bruise or dark circle and, in time, bags under your eyes.
The more light-colored and transparent your skin (skin becomes more transparent with age), and the more blood that gathers there, the darker the circles appear on your face. Over time, the circles can become permanent.
Take preventative steps by using a good eye cream such as Revitol Eye Cream every night. It’s proven to sooth irritated skin and reduce dark under-eye circles as well as fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes.
Users say in their reviews that they were tired of being told how tired they looked because of dark circles under their eyes, and tired of being embarrassed about people noticing their ‘tired’ eyes and tactlessly commenting, and talked about the relief of no longer attracting this unwanted attention from co-workers, bosses and even complete strangers.
In an era when image matters and a youthful appearance isn’t just desirable, it may be necessary to keep your job and the respect of your peers, Revitol Eye Cream is the first line of defence against the aging look of dark circles under your eyes.
