The topic we are going to talk about today is a beauty issue that everyone is concerned about, and it is also a health issue, which is dark circles. It makes us look exhausted and unmotivated, and it affects the image. Today I will recommend effective ways to eliminate dark circles for you, and at the same time, I will remind you of some health problems that may be related to dark circles, hello everyone, I am nutritionist Wang Yan, health is our greatest wealth, let's manage it together. 
Maybe many viewers don't know that dark circles are also divided into types. In order to better improve the problem of dark circles, different measures should be taken for different types of dark circles. Let's start by talking about five common types of dark circles. 
Clause. First, it is the dark circles caused by lack of sleep, this kind of dark circles are usually a little blue in the eyes, because the lack of sleep causes the blood vessels around the eyes to dilate and stasis, which forms this kind of dark circles. Therefore, for this type, of course, it is necessary to strengthen sleep, maintain at least seven to eight hours of sleep every night, preferably before eleven o'clock in the evening.
Clause. Second, it is caused by excessive use of the eyes, which are usually dark brown. Because prolonged eye use can lead to pigmentation around the eyes, resulting in the formation of dark circles. For this type, it is advisable not to use your eyes for long periods of time, to relax your eyes every once in a while, or to do eye exercises, while you can use eye creams containing vitamins C and E to lighten dark circles.
Clause. 3. Dark circles caused by excessive drinking or staying up late, which are usually a little reddish-brown. Excessive alcohol consumption and staying up late can lead to telangiectasia and inflammation around the eyes, which can lead to the formation of dark circles. For this type, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, reduce alcohol consumption and staying up late, consume enough water every day, and use tea bags to apply hot or cold compresses to relieve puffiness and dark circles around the eyes.
Clause. Fourth, it is caused by age and genetic factors, such dark circles are usually brown. Age and genetics can lead to aging and pigmentation, which can cause this dark circle. For this type, it is advisable to consume more antioxidant-rich foods, maintain adequate water intake every day, and also use eye creams containing vitamins C and E to lighten dark circles, while some cosmetics can be used to cover them. 
Clause. 5. Dark circles are caused by allergies, and this type of dark circles are usually accompanied by allergic symptoms such as itching and redness of the eyes. Allergies can cause the blood vessels around the eyes to dilate and bruise, resulting in the formation of dark circles. For this type, be sure to find out the allergen, avoid contact with the allergen, or eat the allergic food. If necessary, some anti-allergy medications can be used orally or topically. At the same time, cold or hot compresses can also be used to relieve the unsuitable dark circles under the eyes. If you also have respiratory allergies or seasonal allergies, be sure to check for undermethylation. Insufficient methylation can affect our immune function, brain neuropsychiatric activity, and heart health, and even have a big impact on our personality. You can check out my previous article, methylation deficiency can be adjusted with nutrients.
Having said so much above, some viewers may still have questions about how to effectively lose weight and how to eliminate dark circles in the most effective way. Let me focus on three of the most effective methods in my opinion.
The first is eye compresses, which can be divided into cold compresses and hot compresses. The first is a warm compress, and although there are many causes of dark circles, it is usually a lack of blood circulation. It is best to apply a warm towel at 37-38 degrees immediately after waking up, cool it and then change it, and apply it for about 10 minutes to reduce the dark circles by half.
Wrap the drunk tea leaves into small tea bags, put them in the refrigerator and chill them, use them around the eyes, especially for allergies or dark circles caused by drinking, remove them after 10-15 minutes, and then wash off the residual juice with water, once a week, which can soothe the skin. It should be noted that black tea should not be used for tea bags, because it itself has pigmentation, and flower tea, green tea, chrysanthemum tea, etc. should be used.
Hot and cold compresses can be used alternately, such as hot compresses in the morning and cold compresses in the evening, to relieve eye fatigue and dark circles. However, when using hot and cold compresses, the temperature and time need to be properly controlled, and not over-stimulated**, so as not to cause**aging or damage.
The second is acupressure, which is very effective in getting rid of dark circles. Skillful massage, especially long-term adherence, can help you say goodbye to dark circles. There are many acupuncture points that can eliminate dark circles, such as the Zhuzhu acupoint, which is located on the inside of the forehead, which can help relieve eye fatigue and help speed up blood circulation; There is also the Jing Ming acupoint, which can effectively eliminate eye fatigue in the depression between the root of the nose and the corner of the eye; The pupils, located on the periphery of the corners of the eyes, can help eliminate wrinkles, improve dark circles, and regular massage can promote blood circulation.
The most effective massage technique is to gently rub these areas with your middle or ring fingers, alternating 9 times clockwise and 6 times counterclockwise, to improve the flow of qi and blood to the eyes. But don't push too hard, press for about 5-10 minutes at a time. The best time to do this is at night before going to bed or after waking up in the morning, in fact, you can do it anytime you have time and feel eye strain. In the morning and evening, the body is more relaxed, the blood circulation is smoother, and the massage effect may be better. Of course, if pain or other discomfort occurs during the massage, do not do it. Before massage, you can also apply warm water and a hot towel to your eyes to speed up local blood circulation.
In conclusion, massaging acupressure points is a simple and easy way to help relieve eye fatigue, promote blood circulation, and achieve the effect of eliminating dark circles and even eye bags. However, massage is not an immediate method, and it takes a long time to achieve good results, as is the case with many healthy lifestyles.
The third is dietary conditioning, you can eat a light diet and a diet containing antioxidants, and you can also cook wolfberry pork liver soup. 50 grams of goji berries, washed with water, 400 grams of pork liver, washed and sliced, ginger washed and peeled and cut into two slices. First add an appropriate amount of water to the wolfberry and ginger, boil for about 30 minutes, then change to medium heat for about 45 minutes, put in the pork liver, and after the pork liver is cooked thoroughly, add a small amount of salt and other seasonings, once in the morning and evening. This soup is suitable for spring consumption, which can play a role in replenishing deficiency and benefiting essence, clearing heat and dispelling wind, benefiting blood and brightening the purpose, and can also prevent dark circles caused by liver and kidney deficiency in middle-aged and elderly people.
Finally, we would like to remind everyone that the appearance of dark circles and eye bags may be related to some chronic diseases, such as liver disease, anemia, allergic rhinitis, hyperthyroidism, sleep disorders, etc. If you find that your dark circles and eye bags are not caused by common causes such as fatigue, staying up late for a long time, allergies, etc., and are accompanied by other symptoms, such as itching, redness, protruding eyes, etc., it is recommended to seek medical attention in time to find the cause and avoid further deterioration of the disease.
