What are the causes of dark circles? Massage tips to eliminate dark circles

Many people have dark circles under their eyes at ordinary times. For example, due to staying up late to work overtime for a long time, or due to poor sleep at night, dark circles will appear around the eyes during the day.

What are the causes of dark circles?

There are two causes. One is vascular, which is caused by poor blood circulation and venous dilation. People with allergic rhinitis or those with poor metabolism due to lack of sleep generally have dark circles caused by this cause. The other is pigmentation, which is caused by melanin deposition. Improper makeup application (the brush is too rough), excessive force in removing makeup, or rubbing the eyes can easily cause mild inflammation of the skin, leading to pigmentation.

Is there any way to get rid of dark circles?

Basically, if the dark circles are caused by allergic constitution, you should treat the nose problem first. Unless the nose disease is cured, the dark circles cannot be eradicated. If the visual dark circles are caused by other parts of the face, such as bulging eye bags, sunken tear troughs, etc., then you must supplement the problems there. The easiest thing to solve is pigmented dark circles, which can be greatly improved by changing lifestyle habits and whitening the area around the eyes.

Massage tips to eliminate dark circles

1. Start from the oculomotor muscles (lower eye bags) of the lower eyelids and massage lightly in a spiral motion toward the end of the eye.

2. Massage the upper eye area from the brow to the end of the eye in the same way.

3. When you reach the end of the eye, gently press the inner corner of the eye with your fingertips for about 3 seconds to promote blood circulation.

4. Use the tips of your index finger, ring finger, and middle finger to tap the area around your eyes 100 to 200 times. This can also be extended to your upper cheeks.

5. Massage in circles from bottom to top to help blood circulation, tighten the skin and improve dark circles.

6. Finally, rub your hands together to warm them up, and cover your eyes like a quilt.

You can massage more to stimulate the acupoints and help blood circulation, so as to eliminate dark circles. In addition, the maintenance technique should be gentle, use "pressing instead of rubbing"! Friends who use makeup removers should also pay attention to not only choosing mild ingredients, but also if using cotton pads, pay attention to whether they are delicate enough.

There are many ways to remove dark circles under the eyes, such as using overnight tea leaves and applying them to the areas around the eyes where dark circles appear. This can have a good alleviating effect on dark circles under the eyes. In general, it is best to prevent dark circles, try to reduce unnecessary staying up late, do not engage in strenuous activities before going to bed at night, and try to ensure good sleep.
