Dark circles are described as "a shadow" in the lower orbicularis region. If they first appear at the corner of the eye, it is because the circulation begins at the inner corner of the eye. These can come from the morphology of the face (thin person with a bony face) or be of racial or innate cause (brown skin with a natural concentration of melanin pigments).
FATIGUE, STRESS AND ILLNESS
Fatigue, stress, and illness can cause changes in the tone of the lymphatic channels, which contract reflexively according to individual sensitivity. Drainage becomes poor, blood stagnates in the dilated vessels, and the skin reveals its bluish shades. In extreme cases, blood pigments can reach the interstitial tissue and color the skin more permanently. In all cases, the vascular wall must be toned, and the eyelids drained and revitalized.
BAGS AND PUFFING UNDER THE EYES
Similar to dark circles, puffiness often occurs in a state of advanced fatigue. They are the result of sagging skin, insufficient lymphatic drainage, and the insidious accumulation of water and lipids in the subcutaneous tissues. Before fat cells can permanently settle in the distended lower eyelids, they must be drained, de-infiltrated, but also hydrated and firmed.
Eyelid swelling is due to a deficiency in the lymphatic microcirculation around the eye. The micro-pump system of the lymphatic channels is much more functional during the day thanks to the thousands of times the eyelids beat. This slows down at night due to the immobility of the eyelids. In addition, it is overwhelmed by the accumulation of waste (water + salt + poorly eliminated alcohol). The tissues will then stretch, leading to the famous morning swelling upon waking.
To avoid this, adopt a healthy lifestyle and get enough sleep. They appear very quickly in an area where the skin is thin, often dry and subject to countless movements, given that it is practically devoid of sebaceous glands.
DARK CIRCLES UNDER THE EYES
There are different types of dark circles. It's important to differentiate them to better combat them.
- Dark blue/vascular circles.
They are caused by a malfunction in blood and lymphatic circulation. As a result, a mass of blood pigment forms under the thinnest layers of the skin.
Skin aging weakens microcirculation in the lower eyelid. The blood capillaries, which are composed of collagen, relax, causing a decrease in blood flow, which leads to the appearance of pigment on the eyelids.
- Dark brown to chestnut / pigmented circles
Their causes are numerous: genetic predispositions, computer screens, UV rays...
The epidermis and dermis of the lower eyelid are very thin (0.5 mm thick). As a result, the skin is translucent, leaving excess pigment, particularly melanin-related pigment, visible to the naked eye.
- Hollow circles
They are the result of the loss of fat between the skin and the bone around the eye. It is the orbital bone, visible through the skin, that gives the lower eyelid its colored appearance.
