It is not necessary to spend a lot of money on getting rid of dark circles around the eyes. Most commercially available products for this problem are unnecessary and ineffective, and should therefore be avoided. Dark circles, although they are usually seen as a skin problem or as an effect of fatigue, are usually caused by something entirely different – nasal congestion.

This may seem to have nothing to do with dark circles at first, but recent studies have indicated that there is a clear connection.

The skin of the face is very thin and delicate, and the skin under the eyes is particularly so. As a result, blood vessels beneath the skin, although they cannot be seen clearly, give a dark tinge to the skin in this area.

To some extent, this may be hereditary, in which case there is little that can be done about it. But very often, blood vessels are visible through the skin only when they dilate, and this is something that usually happens during nasal congestion. Common allergies are usually responsible for this situation, and in some cases, the allergies may directly cause the dark circles, without causing any congestion. It may therefore be a good idea for you to spend some money on an allergy test instead of on creams and lotions. In case you do not want to go through this expense, you can try to detect your allergy on your own. Keep an eye out for any foods or other substances that seem to worsen your dark circles. This can be quite difficult however, which is why a test is advisable.

Anemia is thought to be another condition that contributes to dark circles. Treating it is a bit more difficult however; if you think you may have anemia, you should consult a doctor. There are different types of anemia, and the treatment varies depending upon what is causing the condition.

Other factors that are commonly thought to cause dark circles are fatigue and dehydration. Not all doctors agree about these causes, but there is certainly no harm in getting rid of them. Ensure that you get enough rest daily, and ensure that you drink at least 8 glasses of water through the day, maybe more if you engage in strenuous physical activity or the temperature is high. If you are unable to find out the cause of the dark circles and unable to treat them, you can try the traditional remedy of placing cucumber slices on your eyes.
