Brilio.net - The impact of lack of sleep in daily life has quite a big impact on human health. Not only does it make your mood messy, lack of sleep can cause other problems related to facial skin. One of the most visible is the appearance of bags and dark circles under the eyes.
The more often you stay up late, the more panda eyes or dark circles you start to see. Panda eyes or dark circles around the eyes are a condition where the eye area experiences hyperpigmentation. There are several factors that influence the occurrence of panda eyes besides lack of sleep, such as genetics, aging, the habit of staring at cellphone screens, dehydration, smoking habits, sun exposure or even allergic factors.
The process of the appearance of panda eyes itself can involve several processes. First, there is a change in excessive melanin production, which leads to accumulation. This buildup can cause dark circles in the eye area. Second, panda eyes can occur because the skin in the eye area is quite thin so it is susceptible to color changes. As you get older, the elasticity in the skin area decreases, as a result the veins become visible and cause dark shadows.
Not only that, swelling or inflammation in the eye area also causes dark circles. This comes from a buildup of fluid in the eye area and panda eyes form. So, to deal with panda eyes, there are several ways you can do it. For example, maintaining sleep patterns and healthy living. Apart from that, you also need to care for panda eyes by using skincare products that contain vitamin C, retinol and peptides so that they can reduce dark circles.
Apart from using skincare, you can use other low budget methods such as using ice cubes and cucumber. As shown by this beauty vlogger in dealing with panda eyes.
