Many people suffer from dark bags and circles around their eyes, a huge percent of the population in fact, but most of that selection of the population doesn’t have a happy relationship with their under eye circles and in most cases want to alleviate them from their life., That is why I started this site in fact, I too have chronic re-occurrence of my own, and have spent much time and effort looking up how to get of and how to remove my own dark circles’.
So what causes the dark circles under the eyes and how do we get rid of dark circle problems? Well the first step of course is to figure out the problem, to identify the cause of them, so we can better identify how serious a problem it is, as well as what is triggering them so we can most effectively (and cheaply) alleviate them.
Group #1 – Common everyday causes of dark circles around eyes :
The following are 3 of the more common causes of simple and easy to fix problems. They are more based around lifestyle, nutrition, and dietary health. Paying attention to your diet, sleep, and fitness levels will in many cases go along way from protecting you against the dark bags, and things such as home remedy treatments may help here as well
In some people, constantly rubbing their eye-area due to itchiness and dryness brought on by natural factors such as air quality, nutrition and their environments is to blame. Taking care to not rub the area so often, as well as moisturizing and alleviating that which we suspect is causing the tendency to rub will go a long way.
If you are not getting a fully recuperative, short, or even lengthy amount a sleep with constant interruption, you may have an easily treatable version of dark bags around and under your eyes. Such things as stress, sleep disorders, or poor mattress and pillow quality may be just what you need to restore your natural skin tone to this area.
Do you drink enough water daily? Are you sure? Because many simpler cases and a common cause of dark circles can be cured by sufficient hydration throughout your day. Aim to drink 6-10 glasses of h2o daily, and avoid things that make the total hydration more difficult, such as coffee, alcohol or excessive amounts of salt and sodium intake.
Group #2 – More severe and less easily treatable dark-eye circles:
The following are more serious and less likely to fade away causes. In most cases simple changes and natural relief won’t work. This group will gain more from a good and proven puffy eyes or dark circle around eye product and treatment regimen, and people looking to truly help their appearance will want to look into a bought solution as they age.
As we age, the skin around our eyes and eyelids thins out considerably, which causes the blood vessels to become much more apparent, giving the under portion of the area to radiate a darker bag-like appearance. Also as we age and if we don’t take proper anti-aging preventative measures, we gain an increased tendency of fluid retention. Gravity as we are going about our day causes fluids to collect into the lower eyelid area, which creates the dark shadow effect many of us love to hate.
Being prone to dark circles around and under our eyes can also be passed down as a genetic trait. This one is unavoidable and a real pain in the butt. Ask yourself if your parents and family seems to be more prone then most, and then judge if you think that your situation is a more genetic and passed on trait. Identifying this will help you to judge your proneness to under-eye bags, and if you decide that it is indeed running in your family, consider a good anti-aging eye treatment for maximum results.
Deep set eye structure also have an increasing tendency to develop dark shadows around the yes. As we age, we find that deep set eyes are more influenced by fluid retention and gravity, and draining / pooling of fluid into the deep set bone structure. Also, if you have fair light skin, your situation is going to be intensified by the more obvious appearance. If you have fair skin or deep set eye bone structure (or both!) your best bet is to work with makeup, concealer or proven anti-aging products to aid, as most will just waste time with home remedies and everyday natural solutions.
Identifying the cause of your dark circles:
Using the above as guidance, can you more easily classify the seriousness of your dark bags? If you’re in the first group of people, try brushing up on your nutrition, sleep patterns and fitness levels. Some good dark circles under eye home remedies may work for you depending on the actual cause, and would be a great way to start and save some cash on some more serious anti-aging dark circle treatments.
Like wise, if you are more prone to serious dark circles and fit the classification of group 2, in many cases home remedy practices are going to be a waste of time for you. Consider picking (research an effective and cost worthy dark circle eye product) up a treatment that will be both cost and result effective. Spend some time here, and pick up a product that matches your needs and budget, and watch those dark circles fade into acceptable and beautiful eyes!

Your so very welcome Mr. Peter Yee! Keep up with the water intake, and as some dermatologists recommended, try a period of time where you just drink ridiculously amounts of water for a couple days in a row (LOTS LOTS!) and pay attention if your problems get any better as the water overhaul flushes out your system. STAY CLOSE TO THE TOILET!
As Far as the eye rubbing, perhaps it might be allergies as spring is full blown. If you where glasses make sure they sit comfortably on your nose, or if you spend lots of time reading, on the computer, etc… make sure that there is adequete lighting for your eyes. If still rubbing your eyes in the coming weeks, leave another comment here describing your situation more in full and I can spend some more time to look directly into helping you find out what may be causing this for you !

4Also, is there a way to contact you offline? I’ve looked all over and can’t find anything. I just had a question I don’t want the whole world to see. Thanks.

5Dear Derek,
Comment 3:
Although there is nothing really that cites that constant staring at an LCD monitor will influence Dark Circles, there is no doubt that it will put unnatural strain on your eyes, definitely not helping the situation.
Over usage of the computer may irritate your vision over prolonged periods of time, and such things as rubbing your eyes due to this can worsen the dark circles around your eyes.
Ensuring a high quality monitor in a well lit room will go along way in easing eye strain, and then take periodic and healthy breaks from staring at your monitor will help ensure less eye strain!
Comment 4:
I encourage you to ask your question openly, as perhaps others finding the site will benefit from our discussion and share the same question as yourself. There is a strong level of anonymity here, with only your choosen display name showing up publicly – with that being said if you still choose to ask in private you may email me :
