Blue or brown dark circles: How to recognize them and finally get rid of them?
You look at yourself in the mirror every morning and the same question comes back: "Why do I look so tired?"
Dark circles are often the first sign of stress or lack of sleep on our face. But did you know that they're not all the same? To get a fresh look, it's crucial to understand what type of dark circles you're dealing with.
1. Blue or purple dark circles: a matter of circulation
This is the most common. If your dark circles have a bluish tint, the problem lies with the blood and lymphatic microcirculation under your eyes.
-
The cause: Because the skin under the eye is extremely thin, it allows blood vessels to show through, which stagnate due to lack of drainage.
-
The factors: Fatigue, smoking, or too much time spent in front of screens.
-
My Beauty's tip: Cold is your best ally. It helps to constrict blood vessels and instantly boost circulation.
2. Brown or black dark circles: The pigmentation is the cause
If your dark circles are rather brownish, it is an accumulation of melanin.
-
The cause: An excessive production of pigments, often of genetic origin or accentuated by the sun.
-
The factors: Heredity, UV exposure, or repeated rubbing of the eyes.
-
My Beauty's advice: You should prioritize brightening active ingredients and above all protect this area from the sun daily.
3. Hollow under-eye circles: Loss of volume
Here, it is not a color, but a shadow created by the melting of fat between the skin and the orbital bone.
-
The cause: Often related to skin aging or a particular bone structure.
-
My Beauty's tip: The goal is to plump the skin through intense hydration and active ingredients like collagen.
