Do you know what causes those dark circles under your eyes? It’s really oxidizing hemoglobin which is caused by leaky capillaries. Sounds bad huh? It’s really not.. it just doesn’t look good to have “raccoon eyes”. It’s just that the skin around the eyes is very thin and a lot of rubbing of the eyes can cause the “bruising”.
As you get older the skin gets even thinner and you see the bluish color of the blood vessels under the skin even more. There is no cure for this but you can use cover up makeup to make them less visible. You can also try cucumber slices on your eyes to sooth them or search for using castor oil on the skin around your eyes. It’s supposed to help with the dark circles.
