Brilio.net - Panda eyes, or dark circles under the eyes, are one of the most common skin problems, especially in people who often stay up late or have poor sleep patterns. The appearance of these dark circles is usually caused by blood vessels under the skin of the eyes that are dilated or the accumulation of melanin pigment.
The skin around the eyes is very thin, making dilated blood vessels or pigment buildup more visible and creating dark shadows that look like panda eyes. One of the main causes of panda eyes is lack of sleep. When someone is sleep deprived, the body releases more stress hormones, which can cause increased blood vessels and swelling in the eye area.
In addition, insufficient sleep can also disrupt blood circulation, making the eyes look more tired and the circles become darker. Stress and fatigue also affect skin health and increase melanin production, which worsens the condition of panda eyes.
Genetic factors also play a role in the appearance of panda eyes. Some people may be more prone to dark circles under their eyes due to hereditary factors. In addition, aging also affects the elasticity of the skin, which can cause the area around the eyes to appear more sunken and blood vessels more visible.
Excessive sun exposure can also worsen the problem of panda eyes because UV rays stimulate more melanin production , making dark circles more prominent. Although it is a common skin problem, many people are not confident with the appearance of panda eyes.

Coffee powder content to fade the appearance of panda eyes.Coffee grounds can fade the appearance of dark circles thanks to its caffeine content which has vasoconstrictor properties, meaning it can narrow blood vessels. The caffeine in coffee can improve blood circulation in the area around the eyes, reduce swelling, and brighten the skin.
In addition, caffeine also has anti-inflammatory effects that can reduce inflammation and the appearance of eye bags. The antioxidant content in coffee is also useful for fighting skin damage from free radicals, which can accelerate aging and improve the appearance of panda eyes.
Benefits of olive oil for treating dark circles under the eyes.Olive oil can overcome dark circles because of its antioxidant, vitamin E, and fatty acid content. Vitamin E in olive oil plays an important role in repairing damaged skin, providing moisture, and protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicals, which often worsen dark circles.
Additionally, the fatty acids in olive oil help improve skin elasticity, making it more supple and reducing fine lines around the eyes. The anti-inflammatory properties of olive oil can also reduce swelling and inflammation, which are often the cause of dark circles.
