Brilio.net - Panda eyes or dark circles under the eyes are generally associated with lack of sleep. The reason is, lack of sleep can have quite a bad impact on skin health.
Reporting from Healthline (11/3), lack of sleep causes blood not to flow properly to the area around the eyes, causing the blood vessels around the eyes to enlarge. As a result, blood accumulates under the eyes and appears darker because the skin in this area is very thin. Apart from panda eyes, lack of sleep also makes the eyes look swollen and the face looks dull.
Enough sleep is really needed by the body. As is known, during deep sleep, the metabolic rate of the skin is accelerated. Many body cells show increased production and reduced protein breakdown. This is what causes a good night's sleep to beautify the skin.
In addition, skin regenerates faster during sleep. It helps repair damage caused by pollution, sunlight, stress, and other factors. During sleep, the skin also works to restore lost moisture.
When you get enough sleep, the hormones in your body work well to maintain healthy skin. The reason is, during sleep the body produces hormones which are important for repairing and restoring healthy skin.
However, apart from lack of sleep, panda eyes are also caused by several other factors, such as:
1. Age factor
As we age, the skin becomes thinner. Thin skin shows the blood vessels under the eyes more clearly, giving the appearance of panda eyes.
2. The habit of staring at the screen
Staring at a television, computer or cell phone screen for a long time can cause eye strain. The blood vessels around the eyes enlarge due to this condition, and the skin around the eyes becomes darker.
3. Genetic Factors
Panda eyes can also run in families. If parents have panda eyes, their children are also at risk of experiencing them. In addition, people with darker skin are also more susceptible to panda eyes.
4. Dehydration
When the body lacks fluids or is dehydrated, the skin under the eyes looks sunken and dull. This can also trigger the appearance of panda eyes.
5. Smoking and drinking alcohol habits
Unhealthy lifestyles, such as smoking and consuming alcohol, can cause panda eyes. Blood flow in the facial skin becomes less smooth, so the circles around the eyes appear darker.
6. Sun exposure
Sun exposure can trigger the production of melanin (pigment) which makes the skin darker. Sunlight hitting the eyes can also cause pigmentation in the skin around the eyes, so that the color becomes darker.
7. Allergies
Allergic reactions and dry eyes can trigger dark circles. The histamine released by the body in response to allergies can make blood vessels under the eyes more visible, including those under the eyes.
If not treated, the skin condition will get worse. Dark circles under your eyes will also make you look older and less fresh.
To prevent panda eyes from fading, you need to ensure you get quality sleep. When your sleep pattern is good enough to help restore and regenerate skin cells. Not only that, using eye cream or skincare products that contain vitamin C, retinol and peptides can help brighten and reduce swelling in the area under the eyes.
You can use natural ingredients such as coffee and honey that are available at home. As shown by TikTok user @farhanbashel, a man shows how to mix natural ingredients to treat panda eyes.

The antioxidant content in coffee such as chlorogenic acid can help fight free radical damage to the skin. These antioxidants help keep skin healthy and prevent signs of premature aging, including dark circles around the eyes.
Not only that, the amino acid content in coffee is also good for increasing blood circulation. As is known, the formation of panda eyes is also influenced by the widening of blood vessels in the area around the skin, so using coffee can help disguise dark circles in the eye area.
Honey contains peptides that help increase collagen and elastin production in the skin.
It is common knowledge that honey is rich in benefits for facial skin. The enzymes in honey can help brighten the skin, including reducing the appearance of dark circles in the eye area.
