Minimize or taking care of Dark circles around/under the Eyes

Dark circles is a common problem faced by most of us. Now before you do any external treatment for DC, it's very important to know if there are any internal factors that has caused them. Check these:

1. Inadequate Sleep: Do you sleep well for 8 to 9 hours? Lack of sleep will lead to dark circles.
2. Nasal Blockage/Congestion: This can lead to DC, coz the veins that drain from your eyes to your nose are dilated. A good way to help your nasal blockage is get a Pressure Point massage. This gives instant relief.
3. Pigmentation: Any pigmentation irregularities can cause DC.
4. Sun exposure: How many hours in a day do you expose yourself in the sun? As this leads to melanin production.
5. Diet: Lack of healthy consumption of food, excessive caffeine/alcohol, no exercise, smoking all these will cause DC
6. Heredity: This could run in your family but this does not mean you cannot do anything to minimize it.

After analysing all of the above, you tend to get where you have lacked then work on it. If its lack of sleep, then get your beauty sleep. If its smoking or intake of caffeine, then reduce them.
