• In the current day and age in which social media
  has the last say, dark circles are a definite
  no-no! Individuals are increasingly more
  conscious about how they look and the presence of
  unwanted dark circles could turn out to be a
  disaster. While there are several causes of dark
  circles including poor diet, lack of sleep, there
  are a lot of other things that you may be unaware
  of that are directly aiding the formation of dark
  circles around your eyes.
• It is essential to understand that the skin near
  the eyes is highly sensitive and fragile due to
  which dark circles become even more prominent
  over time. Dr Nandini Teli, one of the most
  renowned skincare specialists in Wakad, offers
  her two cents on how certain habits could worsen
  your dark circles.

Here are some of the habits that could worsen the
dark circles around your eyes

• Sleeping on the Stomach or Sideways
• Although we conveniently blame lack of sleep for
  our dark circles, it is important to understand
  that the way we sleep plays an important role
  too. Avoid sleeping on your stomach and make it a
  habit to sleep on your back as much as you can.
• Avoiding Sunscreen
• If you have been avoiding wearing sunscreen all
  this while, it is time to reconsider. The upper
  and lower regions of your eyes along with the
  thin eyelids are prone to damage caused by the
  sun and hyperpigmentation. Thus, it is imperative
  to apply sunscreen before you step out.

• Salt and Caffeine Consumption
• Avoid eating food items rich in salt before you
  sleep as it could worsen your dark circles. In
  addition, it is equally important to limit your
  caffeine consumption as it encourages water
  retention in the body which in turn makes your
  eyes look puffy.
• Rubbing Eyes
• It is critical to understand that the skin under
  your eyes is the most sensitive part of your
  face. The capillaries in that region of the body
  could break upon constant rubbing of your eyes
  and thus, it is important to refrain from rubbing
  your eyes.
• Smoking
• Our expert dermatologist in Wakad also states
  that smoking can augment the damage caused by the
  sun to the skin. In addition, the nicotine in the
  cigarette negatively impacts microcirculation
  near the eyes and thus, worsening the dark
  circles.

• Less Water Consumption
• Staying hydrated is important and there are no
  two ways about it. Dehydration can lead to
  thinner tissues near your eyes and thus, worsen
  your dark circles.
• Staring at Electronic Screens
• Staring at a computer screen for hours without
  any break can induce severe stress to the blood
  vessels near the eyes. When the blood vessels
  swell around your eyes, it could darken the skin
  around it.
• Apart from these habits, allergies, genetic
  factors, and using cosmetic products could also
  play an important role in adding to the dark
  circles. Get in touch with our BEST DERMATOLOGIST
