Why do dark circles and puffiness form under the eyes and can an eye cream help?
That depends upon the formula, how it is used and how often it is applied. Other factors such as poor diet, smoking and sun exposure can speed the rate of aging around the eye area, so it is hard to determine the efficacy of a product when all factors are considered.
When it comes to picking a eye cream there are a few factors you need to take into consideration, your age, what you want, your skin type and your lifestyle. Why lifestyle? Unless you are willing to pay to have work done, there isn’t eye creams on the planet that will fix 20 years of two pack a day habit. Your face well it kinda of froze that way.If you want the best results, it can’t hurt to get one from each category: Use the eye cream before bed so that it can fully absorb.
Dark circles under the eyes and puffiness can be caused by a lack of sleep or an unhealthy lifestyle. Micro circulation in the area around the eyes is very weak which can easily cause the drainage of metabolic waste to slow down. Lack of sleep and alcohol consumption can cause such disturbances to occur, and becoming visible as puffiness. In order to dispose of the substances that cannot be broken down, your arteries expand. Since the skin under eye is very thin (about 0.5 mm in comparison to 2 mm in other skin areas), the arteries in this area are visible as dark colouring. Massaging a cooling eye creme into the area under the eyes can visibly reduce the dark circles under the eye and puffiness.
