Skin solutions: Tired eyes

Common causes of tired eyes

Dark circles

Lifestyle factors including: 

Rubbing your eyes: This can cause your under eyes to swell and your blood vessels to break. 

Sun exposure: Too much exposure to the sun can trigger your body to make more melanin, which can cause hyperpigmentation. 

Alcohol overuse: Drinking too much alcohol may contribute to dark circles. 

Other medical conditions: Some conditions, such as eczema and melasma, can contribute to dark circles. 

Anemia: A lack of healthy blood cells, which is usually associated with low iron levels, can result in an inadequate supply of oxygen to your body. This can lead to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. 

Under eye bags

These can be caused by a number of factors;

Ageing: As people age, the skin and muscles around the eyes weaken, causing the skin to sag and fat to move into the area below the eyes. Fluid can also pool in this area, making the eyes look puffy. 

Genetics: Under-eye bags can be a physical characteristic that runs in families. 

Lifestyle factors including: 

Fluid retention: Eating too much salt or not drinking enough water can cause fluid buildup. 

Lack of sleep: Poor sleeping habits can cause the skin under the eyes to appear pale, making blood vessels more visible.

Wrinkles

Fine lines around and under the eye area are usually due to dehydration aswell as the factors listed below.

 As the skin is finer and becomes more transluscent around that area as we age,  these can often become more noticeable. 

We need to ensure the lost hyaluronic acid in that area is replaced to keep eyes looking more hydrated therefore less wrinkly.
