Serious Dark Circles

Dark circles and puffiness under the eye area is a common problem. Women spend a lot of time and money in an attempt to cover up the circles and hide the puffiness. This only offers a temporary solution, but little has been available to cure the problem. Hylexin is a breakthrough product for chronic dark circles and puffy eyes that actually addresses the cause of the circles.

The discoloration is often blamed on a lack of sleep. This is not usually the case. The dark color is actually the result of oxidation of the blood in the capillaries under the skin. This occurs when the veins are carrying deoxygenated blood back toward the heart. The blood in the veins can be seen through the thin skin of the under eye area. This blood appears blue due to the lack of oxygen.

People often have a genetic predisposition to dark circles. If several family members have dark circles, you are more likely to have them as well. The circles are more noticeable in people with a light complexion. The discoloration stands out more against pale skin.

Dark circles under the eyes can also be an indication of allergies, especially food allergies. Ask your doctor for help if you suspect you have food allergies. It can be difficult to pinpoint the allergen, and finding the culprit may require an elimination diet. Several common food allergens, such as milk, wheat, and eggs, are removed from the diet for a period of two weeks. Gradually, one food item at a time is added back into the diet. This is done slowly to see if a reaction occurs and to determine which food is causing the reaction. Balancing your diet can also help improve circulation under the eyes. Eat a healthy diet and include a multivitamin. Drink plenty of water to keep the skin well hydrated and help with circulation.

Other common allergens that contribute to dark circles include dust mites, pollen and pet dander. Pet dander is probably the easiest allergen to control in your environment. If you are allergic, it's best not to have a pet. For those who just can't part with a loved pet or crave animal companionship, reactions can often be controlled by having the sleeping area off limits to pets. This gives you a clean, allergen-free space for resting, and results in more restorative sleep.

Allergies to pollen can be helped in a variety of ways. The pollen count is sometimes given on the weather forecast of the evening news. Pay attention to this and make plans accordingly. If the pollen count is high, it may not be the best day for a picnic in the park. Be sure to close the windows to keep the pollen out of your house.

Filters for home heating and air conditioning systems are made to trap allergens. For filtering smaller particles from the air, you may want an air purifier system. HEPA filtration systems are best for pollen allergies. These are great in the bedroom if you have dust mite allergies. They can even be moved from room to room, if needed. When purchasing a HEPA filter, be sure it is large enough for the room in which it will be used.

Your lifestyle can contribute to your dark circles. Although a lack of rest isn't usually the sole cause of dark circles, being tired can accentuate the problem. This is why some women really notice dark circles for the first time after a baby is born. The only cure for this problem is to get more rest, if possible. Getting to bed earlier, sleeping in a bit later in the morning or taking a short nap in the afternoon just might help lighten up the eyes.

Most remedies for dark circles involve the use of makeup to hide the dark circles. This method has varying levels of success. This doesn't actually address the problem of dark circles. Covering the circles can become tedious and inconvenient and there are times when you may not want to wear makeup at all.

Hylexin helps improve circulation and prevent the blood from pooling in the under eye area, which addresses the root of the problem. Rather than covering up the circles day after day, it will treat the problem. It also works to strengthen the capillary muscles. This prevents and treats the dark circles at the same time.

What makes Hylexin unique is that it treats the underlying cause and increases circulation under the eye area. By promoting enzyme activity, the build up of blood in the under eye tissue is reduced. This results in less dark coloring and puffy skin. Because Hylexin is concentrated, you don't need very much. Apply using a light, circular motion until the cream is absorbed into the skin. If you have very dark circles, you can use the product up to three times each day.
