Dark circles and dark bags under your eyes are probably one of the most common cosmetic complaints among both men and also in women, regardless of their age. According to dermatologists, nine out of ten people at some point in their whole life will have dark under their eye circles.
Why do you have dark eye circles problem?
As we all know, lack of sleep and adequate rest, overstressing eye muscles as well as constant eye rubbing can make you look tired with those dark under-eye circles. However, for those who are prone to dark rings around their eyes, the reason may be due to hereditary, side effects of some drugs, or simply a part of the aging process.
People who are born with very fair skin, or sharp facial features also tend to naturally develop pesky dark circles around the eyes. Some women may experience under eye dark circles that are caused by hyperpigmentation after childbirth, or it can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia in the body.
It is not wrong to say that few foods contribute to the formation of dark circles around or under the eye. Drinking a lot of caffeinated beverages like coffee and soda, or eating something you’re allergic to, can cause puffiness and dark circles underneath the eyes. Allergies can cause your eyes to itch. When you frequently rub your eyes, tiny capillaries under the skin get irritated and break, causing puffiness and discoloration.
Most common allergenic foods include berries, buckwheat, chocolate, cinnamon, citrus fruits, coconut, peas, peanut butter, pork, shellfish, corn, dairy products, egg whites, mustard, nuts, soy, tomatoes, wheat, and yeast.
