Skin discoloration under the eyes affects just about everybody at some time or another. For some of us, however, these dark circles are a near-constant bother. While these conditions are occasionally symptomatic of other illnesses, the usual cause is allergies, tiredness, or, unfortunately, heredity. No matter what the cause, you can still reduce the appearance of dark circles, and in some cases, you may be able to get rid of them .

Dark circles under the eye may also be a result caused from a lack of primarily B6 and Folic Acid. About 30% of the population does not absorb regular B6 (pydroxine) or folic acid and need to take in these vitamins in a different form or another way

Allergies may be the most common cause of skin discoloration under the eyes. If they are the root of your problem, you simply need to treat them or remove the allergen .

Get plenty of sleep. Lack of sleep results in dark circles under the eyes that causes the skin to become paler (thus increasing the appearance of darkness under the eyes), and it reduces circulation. It's also believed that too little time lying down is a cause in itself. Determine how much sleep you need and see if it helps. Dont forget to apply cool tea bags, an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth, or cucumber slices to your eyes daily.

Dark circles may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K. Regardless of the cause, however, recent research has shown that skin creams containing these two ingredients reduce puffiness and discoloration significantly in many patients. Long-term daily use seems to have the greatest effect.

Dont rub your eyes as its caused by allergies,rubbing irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing both puffiness and discoloration.

Reduce your salt intake as it can cause the blood vessels under the skin to appear bluer.

Eat healthy meals and drink lots of water. A whole lot of problems are attributed to lack of vitamins in our body especially vitamin K. By increasing our fluids you will increase your circulation which is important for us.

If everything fails you can always use coverup.
