Dark circles under your eyes can make you look tired an older than you are. Fatigue is generally believed to be the most common cause of dark circles. However, aging, genetics, eyestrain, anemia, dehydration, sun exposure and some lifestyle factors can also be possible causes. Several under eye creams available in the market claim to reduce dark circles within a few days. But you might not get the desired results. If you are struggling with the same issue, let's know from the expert why your under eye cream is not working.
"Let's be real - no under-eye cream will fix your dark circles unless you make these two lifestyle changes," mentioned dermatologist Dr. Jushya Bhatia Sarin.
"Are your dark circles not getting better with any under eye cream? It is time to make these two lifestyle changes," Dr. Bhatia said in an Instagram video. Then she mentioned the following points:
1. Stop looking at your phone's screen after you have turned off the lights.
The expert explained, "the high energy blue light that emits from mobile screens break down your collagen and elastin on the under eye area." Plus, constant focusing can strain the eye muscles.
2. Fixing iron deficiency
Low iron or hemoglobin in your blood hampers the delivery of oxygen to your skin cells. "This leads to over production of melanin. Your skin under the eye being the thinnest shows this pigment first," explained the expert.
