DIMINISH THOSE DARK CIRCLES

What is it that can make you look older than you really are?  Surprisingly, it might not be wrinkles or gray hair but dark circles under your eyes. Although dark circles under eyes usually aren't a sign of exhaustion or serious illness, they can make you feel old, unhealthy and tired. This is a condition that affects both men and women around the world.

Just what constitutes dark circles under eyes is often in the eye of the beholder, but medically, they're defined as round, uniform areas of pigmentation beneath each eye. Dark circles under eyes affect both men and women, and although dark, under-eye circles often start in adulthood; children can develop them, too.

More treatments are available for dark circles under eyes than ever before and range from makeup to laser therapy and in some cases, surgery. Because results aren't always perfect, however, it helps to have realistic expectations.

If you get plenty of sleep, haven't been to a party in years and still have dark circles under your eyes, that's not unusual. Fatigue and high living aren't the main reasons for under-eye circles. What appears to be under-eye circles are sometimes just shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal part of aging.

Here are some of the most common causes of true under-eye circles:

§  Allergies

§  Atopic dermatitis (eczema)

§  Heredity — dark under-eye circles can run in families

§  Lifestyle factors, such as smoking and drinking alcohol and caffeinated sodas

§  Nasal congestion (which dilates and darkens the veins that drain from your eyes to your nose)

§  Pigmentation irregularities — these are a particular concern for people of color, especially blacks and Asians

§  Sun exposure, which prompts your body to produce more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color

§  Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen — common as you age — which make the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious
