Do you experience dark under eye circles? You’re not alone as it’s a common occurrence with multiple causes. Let’s examine what contributes to under eye circles and discover what you can do to minimize their effects.
Genetics & Aging
There are some factors that are beyond your control such as genetics and natural aging. The fancy term for genetic dark circles is periorbital hyperpigmentation. When this is the driving factor, you may not be able to eliminate them entirely, but there are ways to minimize their appearance.
Dehydration
Lots of sun exposure without water leads to several skin problems such as dryness, wrinkles, eye lines, and dark circles. If you’re like us and live in a sunny and warm place like Sarasota, FL, then you’ll have to pay extra attention to hydration to avoid the dark circles.
Lack of Sleep
Poor sleep due to hormonal imbalances, stress and busy schedules can wreak havoc on our eyes. Prioritizing stress management techniques and quality sleep will improve your complexion and overall skin health.
Excessive Eye Strains
Straining and squinting your eyes has a negative effect on both your facial muscles and skin. This creates extra work for the blood vessels in your skin, resulting in discoloration.
Contact Dermatitis
We see this often with skincare products or eye makeup with toxic ingredients such as synthetic preservatives, artificial fragrances and irritating ingredients like propylene glycol. These ingredients are prevalent in traditional skincare and makeup products. Doing your best to eliminate toxins from your beauty regimen will be key. Trust that all products from House of Hilt Skincare will never contain these less-than-quality ingredients. Your wellbeing is our top priority.
