Dark circles

[phx1hab]

Does being on CPAP help get rid of dark circles under your eyes? Is it usually because of lack of sleep or something else. The dark circles drive me crazy and make me paranoid

It's b/c of:

1) Aging, the skin around the eye thins as you get older
2) Allergies or asthma ("allergic shiner")
3) Lack of sleep
4) Poor diet
5) Significant weight loss or malnutrition, which reduces the amount of fat in the face
6) Limited evidence of support of treatment that claim removal
7) Address underlying causes and if desired apply cosmetic consealer

There are actually a few things that can cause this;


The below text is taken from This Place

º Treat hay fever, if that's the problem. There are non-sedating, over-the-counter allergy medications that may help. If you have or suspect hay fever, talk with your doctor about how to treat it (whether or not it's affecting your eyes' appearance).

º Try a neti pot. Irrigating the nasal cavity with a neti pot -- a device that looks like a small teapot -- can help relieve fluid buildup caused by allergies, sinus congestion, or a cold.

º Switch your sleep position. Your sleep position may be contributing to under-eye bags. Thanks to gravity, sleeping on your side or stomach can encourage fluids to collect under your eyes. If you're a side sleeper, you may notice a heavier bag on the side you sleep on. Goldburt advises her patients who wake up with puffy eyes to sleep on their back and add an extra pillow under their head.



for me it was the Neti pot that worked wonders!
