A healthy and nutritious diet rich in vitamins like A, C, K, E and nutrients can help to get rid of dark circles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exposure to sun<\/strong><br \/>\nToo much exposure to sun weakens the thin skin around the eye area causing dark circles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heredity<\/strong><br \/>\nDark circles under the eyes run in families. They tend to be more noticeable in people with fair skin or deep-set eyes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fluid retention which causes puffiness that may cast shadows<\/strong><br \/>\nBlood vessels under the eyes can become dilated and engorged, which can contribute to dark circles. Excess dietary salt and smoking are common causes. Conditions that cause fluid retention (e.g. heart, thyroid, kidney, liver diseases) or medications that cause blood vessel dilation may be a factor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Aging<\/strong><br \/>\nThe skin under the eyes is thin and delicate to begin with. As we age, skin and the fat pad under the eyes becomes thinner, causing blood vessels to become noticeable. This thins and relaxes the skin around the eyes and gives the appearance of dark circles. Sun damage can make it worse because it weakens skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of sleep<\/strong><br \/>\nA lack of sleep can make skin appear more pale, which allows blood vessels to be more visible through the skin, giving the appearance of bluish or dark circles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dehydration<\/strong><br \/>\nDark circles under the eyes can be a sign of dehydration. Be sure to drink enough water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"blog-end\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kosmoderma.com\">Kosmoderma Skin, Hair &amp; Lasers Clinics<\/a> are dedicated to medical excellence in the field of Cosmetic Dermatology with international accreditation and facilities.<br \/>\nWe offer scientifically proven treatments using US FDA approved technology.
