Brilio.net - Some people may have a genetic tendency to have dark circles under the eyes. Apart from genetic factors, dark circles, which are usually called panda eyes , are also often caused by the body not getting enough rest or sleep. This condition usually occurs due to work piling up or other things making you stay up late. A body that doesn't get enough sleep can cause swelling around the eye area. This condition makes the dark circles under the mat more visible.
Not only that, stress factors can also influence the appearance of dark circles in the eyes. Stress can trigger an increase in the production of the hormone cortisol in the body. Excessive cortisol can cause inflammation in the skin and reduce collagen production, which is needed to maintain skin elasticity and suppleness. When a person experiences stress, the blood vessels around the eyes can widen or stretch . This can make blood vessels more visible under the skin, causing the appearance of dark circles.
Meanwhile, people in stressful conditions tend to shift the focus of attention to the problem that triggers the stress. As a result, they may pay less attention to aspects of self-care, such as healthy sleep patterns or consuming enough water, which can affect skin health. On the other hand, stress can also trigger certain bad habits, such as rubbing or scratching the area around the eyes. This damages the skin and worsens the appearance of dark circles.
To brighten the dark skin around your eyes again, you need to carry out regular care. You can follow how to get rid of dark circles based on tricks shared by a doctor. In the video shared, which is several seconds long, the doctor known as Dr. Kamilah Jaidi uses natural ingredients.
"There is a trend for masks using tea and honey, do you think it's safe or not?" he said, as quoted by briliobeauty.net from his YouTube channel, Monday (26/2).
