Dark circles aren't just about lack of sleep (though we moms get very little of it 😅). They can also be caused by: ✅️Magnesium deficiency ✅️Fatigue & stress ✅️Hormonal changes ✅️Nutritional deficiencies ✅️Dehydration ✅️Genetics (yep, blame the genes too!) ➡️Magnesium plays a vital role in various bodily functions, including skin health and nerve function, and a deficiency can lead to signs like eye twitching, puffiness, and dark circles. ➡️Fatigue is a major reason for dark circles under eyes. Not getting enough rest can cause the skin to appear dull, and blood vessels under the thin under-eye skin can become more prominent ➡️Hormones can influence the production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Changes in melanin levels can result in darker pigmentation around the eyes. ➡️Vitamin deficiencies can contribute to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Specifically, deficiencies in vitamins like K, B12, C, and E, as well as iron. ➡️Dehydration leads to dark circles when the skin lacks moisture, it becomes thinner allowing the contours of the eye socket and blood vessels beneath to become more visible. This can make dark circles appear more pronounced. ➡️Yes, genetics can play a significant role in the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Dark circles can be hereditary, meaning they may run in families. Factors like melanin production and collagen levels, which can be influenced by genes, can contribute to the appearance of dark circles ✅️What should you do: Get more sleep. Try to get at least seven hours of sleep each night to prevent shadows from appearing around your eyes. ✅️Cold compress. Apply cold spoons to your eyes to help shrink dilated blood vessels. This can reduce puffy eyelids and the appearance of dark circles.. ✅️Cucumbers. Lay cucumber slices on your eyes. This can help with puffiness because cucumbers are full of water and vitamin C. ✅️Teabags. Place cold tea bags under your eyes. This can increase circulation because tea contains caffeine and antioxidants ✅️Hydration: Drink atleast 2 to 2.5ltr of water per day. Eat magnesium, Iron & vit K rich foods. ✅️If you find this useful please follow for more 💞
