Question:

Which product would you recommend for getting rid of dark circles?

Answer:

Cause of Dark Circles

Despite popular belief, a lack of sleep, fatigue, and staying out late aren’t the main causes of dark circles. Rather, dark circles are more commonly caused by genetics, thinning skin, allergies, drinking, smoking, and sun exposure.

Genetics or thinning skin related to age can make undereye skin appear darkened due to blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. Sun exposure boosts melanin production, which discolors skin. Allergies can cause the veins to become enlarged and more visible. A lack of sleep and dehydration can emphasize the situation, but usually they aren’t the primary cause.

How to Prevent Dark Circles

Doctor D. Schwab has created an eyecare line to address concerns specific to the eye area. Puff Away® Eye Gel is a specially formulated eye treatment which was created to address dark, puffy eyes. This age defying gel is packed with powerful natural antioxidants and cooling and strengthening ingredients which address the issue of dark circles caused by genetics including Vitamin K, Spirulina Maxima Extract, and Green Tea Extract; these ingredients naturally help to strengthen capillary walls and reduce the visibility of blood vessels through the undereye skin.

• Vitamin K: Undereye skin discoloration can be caused by a Vitamin K deficiency. Applying it topically directly addresses the deficiency. Eating foods rich in Vitamin K such as broccoli, carrots, spinach and strawberries can also help address the issue. It can also be beneficial to take a Vitamin K supplement or multivitamin; the recommended daily dosage of Vitamin K is 65 mg for adult females and 80 mg for adult males.
• Spirulina Maxima Extract: Spirulina, from Algae, has a high content of beta carotene and superoxide dismutase (SOD) which help to decrease discoloration, strengthen the small capillaries and increase the antioxidant activities.
• Green Tea Extract: Green Tea Extract is another natural extract which helps to strengthen the small capillaries. It contains large amounts of vitamins and tannins, and is high in anti-oxidants which protects against free radicals and slows the signs of aging. The primary antioxidants in Green Tea are Polyphenols, or catechins. The Polyphenols found in Green Tea are higher than those found in Black Tea (25% vs. 4%)
