Under eye shadows or dark circles under the eyes, also known as periorbital eye hyperpigmentation, are a very common problem.  But there isn’t just one thing that causes them.  There are several different components of dark circles and you may be able to control only some of them.

You have no control over who your ancestors were, so forget about under eye shadows if everybody in your family has them. The shape of the face may cause the light to play a trick or brown hyperpigmentation of the lower eyelid skin may be present. A hint of makeup will fix this “problem.”

6 Ways to Combat Dark Circles or Shadows Under the Eye

1. Keep away from prostaglandin analogs used by some skin care companies to enhance eyelashes. These products are likely to darken your eye color and/or increase periorbital eye hyperpigmentation. These effects may not go away if you stop using the product. In short, if you want longer eyelashes but don’t want the side effects, go for Skin Actives Brow and Lash Serum, and avoid eyelash products containing prostaglandin analogs.
2. Sleep well at night, the 8 hours are important for so many reasons! If you have problems snoring, consult your doctor regarding sleep apnea, it is more common than people think and has some other nasty side effects besides making you look tired.
3. See whether Skin Actives Triple Correction Eye Cream It addresses all causes of under eye shadows (except for the shape of your face!). The Triple Correction Eye Cream is a powerhouse of active ingredients and is for anyone who wants to improve the appearance and health of their skin around their eyes.
4. Shadows may be caused by dilated or prominent capillaries that can be seen through the thin skin around the eyes, or even produced by some blood leaking from blood vessels that are too permeable. If you think this is the case for you, try Skin Actives Capillary Health Cream around the eye area.
5. Pigmentation may be caused by too much melanin, and in this case using Skin Brightening Cream will do the trick.
6. Other contributors to under eye shadows include skin laxity, dry skin, hormonal disturbances, nutritional deficiencies, and chronic illnesses. If you suspect your dark circles may be due to an illness, please see your doctor.
