Reasons for the formation of dark circles: abnormal diet and iron deficiency; Smoking and drinking; Depression, overthinking or staying up late lead to insufficient sleep; Endocrine system or liver disease, so that pigmentation around the eyes; Lack of physical exercise and physical labor, so that blood circulation is not smooth; No patients who are weak or have recovered from a serious illness; Excessive sexual life; Hereditary.
How to treat dark circles with diet?
First, increase nutrition. Increase the intake of high-quality protein in the diet, ensure more than 90 grams of protein every day, and eat more lean meat, milk, eggs and aquatic products rich in high-quality protein.
The intake of vitamin A and vitamin E should also be increased, because vitamins A and E have nourishing effects on the eyeball and eye muscles. Foods rich in vitamin A include animal liver, cream, eggs, alfalfa, carrots and apricots. Foods rich in vitamin E include sesame, peanuts, walnuts and sunflower seeds.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to the intake of iron-containing foods, because iron is the core component of hemoglobin. Iron-rich foods include animal liver, kelp and lean meat.
Foods rich in vitamin C, such as jujube, Rosa roxburghii, oranges, tomatoes, vegetables, etc., should be taken while supplementing iron, because vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron.
You can also use 50 grams of auricularia auricula, red dates 10, and brown sugar 100 grams for decoction twice a day. Regular use can eliminate dark circles.
Besides, don't smoke or drink. Because smoking will make skin cells in a state of hypoxia, which will make eyes black; Drinking alcohol will temporarily protect blood vessels and make them red, but it will soon cause blood vessels to contract, especially near the eyes, thus causing temporary ischemia and hypoxia around the eyes. Long-term drinking will form obvious dark circles. In addition, we must ensure adequate sleep, which is not only conducive to preventing the emergence of dark circles, but also conducive to physical and mental health.
The reason for the formation of dark circles is theoretically the appearance of dark circles in the orbit. It is related to the amount of pigment in the eyelid itself, the color of eyelid blood flow and the direction of light projection. Because the eyelid skin is the thinnest in the whole body skin, the pigment of the skin or the popular color of blood under the skin are easy to reflect and present on the eyelid surface. In addition, when the light is projected, a shadow will appear in the back recess of the protrusion. For example, the light on the right side of the nose will see a shadow at the left inner corner of the eye, so this part looks a little dark.
Similarly, shadows will appear in the posterior recess under the eye bags.
There are six reasons for the formation of [dark circles]:
1. Hereditary constitution: The orbicularis oculi muscle of the patient is naturally thicker, or the pigment of the eye skin is deeper and richer than that of the adjacent skin, so it is dark gray eyes.
2. Penetration of pigment particles in cosmetics: For people who often use cosmetics, some dark cosmetic particles may penetrate into the eyelids. Over time, dark circles appear.
3. Excessive fatigue: When you are overtired and have insufficient rest, the venous blood flow of orbicularis oculi muscle and eyelid skin is blocked due to autonomic nerve disorder and poor blood circulation. Because the color of venous blood is dark, what appears on the eyelids is the dark gray rim of the eye.
4. Varicose veins: Venous tumors or varicose veins in eye sockets or eyelids, as well as long-term edema of eyelids, can also cause venous blood stagnation and excessive sexual intercourse: in Fu Shuo, ancient Cleopatra was enchanting and lustful, with superior sexual ability. At the same time, she has very obvious dark circles (I don't know if it is hereditary). Therefore, women's makeup was very popular at that time, and their eyelids were painted in black circles to emphasize [sexual ability].
In fact, excessive sexual intercourse and lack of sleep will easily lead to stagnation of eye venous blood flow.
5. Trauma: Contusion of orbit or eyelid will cause subcutaneous hemorrhage and form the appearance of [dark circles].
How to eliminate annoying dark circles?
To eliminate or reduce the degree of dark circles, you can adopt the following methods:
1. Dark circles caused by orbital or eyelid tumors or varicose veins can be corrected by surgery.
2. If it is caused by the penetration of cosmetic particles, stop using cosmetics or consider using other cosmetics with better quality. Adequate sleep and rest can improve the hot compress and massage of dark circles caused by fatigue, improve the blood circulation of eyes and reduce venous congestion. When acting or taking pictures, you can adjust your head posture or occlusion with the help of the projection angle of light.
3. If it is caused by genetic constitution, it should be treated lightly; Or consider using cosmetics to [remedy].
1. It is better to maintain adequate sleep and correct sleeping posture in supine position than many nursing methods.
2. Correct bad eating habits, don't eat too salty food and too irritating food, and don't smoke and drink too much.
3. Treat chronic diseases in time, strengthen nutrition and supplement vitamins C, A and E appropriately.
4. Acupoint massage: Dark circles are caused by poor blood circulation, and acupoint massage helps to get through the blood; Apply eye massage cream or eye nutrition cream to the skin around the eyes. Press lad Liao (eye tail), retrobulbar (inside and outside the lower orbit 1/3), Silk White (inside and outside the lower orbit 1/3), Jingming (inside and above the inner canthus), Fishbone (middle eyebrow) and Xiang Ying (outside the nasal alar) with your ring finger, and press 3-for each point. Gently pull the middle finger and ring finger (the middle finger is placed on the upper eyelid and the ring finger is placed on the lower eyelid) from the inner canthus to the outer canthus for massage for 10 times. The fingertips of the index finger, middle finger and ring finger are turned around the eyes for 3-5 times.
5. Mild hot compress-Hot compress helps to promote blood circulation. Soak the soft cotton towel in warm water and wring it out, then smear it on the upper eyelid, and repeat it for 2-3 times; The water temperature should not be too hot, because the eyelid skin is very thin, and too hot compress will make the skin loose and wrinkled.
6. Thoroughly remove it-if you often wear makeup, you must use a liquid lotion special for the eyes to remove makeup, especially eyeliner and mascara. Don't let the pigment of cosmetics penetrate into the eyelids, or your eyes will look like dark circles. Usually, you should use eye cosmetics instead of facial cosmetics.
7. If dark circles have formed, you can cover them with cosmetics:
(1) On the face coated with foundation, gently pat the concealer slightly lighter than the skin with the fingertips of the ring finger and apply it evenly.
(2) Sweep the transparent dry powder with a cosmetic brush, which is more firm and lasting.
(3) Applying light yellow to the back third of the eyebrow bone can increase the color of the eyes.
(4) Choose the eye shadow with moderate color and lightly brush it. If the skin is white, it can be gray; Yellowstone can be light yellow; Pink and purple eye shadow will only aggravate dark circles and should not be used.
(5) only draw eyeliner. If you want to modify the eye shape, you can only trace it gently with a carbon gray flat-headed eyeliner. After this modification, the upper branch of your dark circles will not be too obvious.
