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.
I need to get my eyes checked. It’s been over 2 years and they say you should have your eyes checked at least every 2 years. What I would really love to have is those multi-focal contacts or Lasik surgery. I really don’t like wearing glasses. I have a pair of bi-focals for reading and driving, etc and I have another pair for working at the computer. It’s a real pain to have to change glasses all the time.
There has been a few times where I left the house wearing my computer glasses and didn’t realize it until I was going down the road. I had to turn around and go back home and get my other glasses.
Actually what I’d really love to have it the eyesight I used to have. I didn’t wear glasses when I was younger. I didn’t have to start wearing glasses until I was in my 40′s. I’ll take my age 20 eyesight anytime!
