Potential Causes Of Dark Circles & The Solution

Fed up of your dark puffy eyes? Are you sleeping well but your eyes are still swelling? Here we will list some reasons why this happens and how to deal with it. 

Causes: 


  • Allergies.If you have allergies, puffy eyes are a common first symptom. When you're allergic to something, your body releases histamine. This is known to trigger inflammation.
  • Contact Lenses. Keeping contact lenses on for too long can cause your eyes to swell. These lenses  can prevent oxygen from reaching your eyes. This makes the cornea swell.
  • Sodium. Sodium is a major puffy eye culprit. Sodium causes the body to hold onto fluids, including surrounding tissues in the eyes. Increased water retention due to too much sodium can lead to puffiness around the eyes.  Be sure to watch your intake levels. 
  • Aging. As we age, the tissues that support the eye weaken and begin to sag, which causes a puffing effect and swollen appearance. This could also be genetic. 

  • How to Get Rid of Puffy Eyes:

    1. Cool Compress. Reduce the inflammation by applying a cold compress to the affected area. The most popular way to cold compress the under-eye bags is by using a cold spoon. Place the cold spoon under the eyes for 30-60 seconds. The coldness will reduce the inflammation.

    2. Remove Contact Lenses Before Sleeping. Sleeping with contacts puts more stress on the cornea, making puffiness more noticeable. Make sure to remove the lenses before going to bed. 

    3. Cut the Salt. Sodium is mainly found in salt, and as mentioned above, too much it can cause the swelling around your eyes. Watch your sodium intake each day and ensure you are not having too much.
