Under Eye Dark Circles - Understand the Cause, Then Eliminate Dark Under Eye Circles

Under eye dark circles embarrassing you?

Some people get them in middle-age, others much younger. At any age, they make you look tired, older and less attractive.

Your age doesn't matter. At any age, if you have those dark half moons, the same problems are developing under the surface of your skin. Here is how dark under eye circles are created, and how to eliminate them.

Where the color comes from

If you have dark circles under the eyes, the tiny blood vessels called capillaries in this area are leaking.

The leaking fluid contains hemoglobin from your blood. Hemoglobin is red when it's getting plenty of oxygen, but it loses its oxygen when it leaks from the blood vessels. Then it turns dark blue or purple.

This is exactly the same thing that happens when you get a bruise. You get a hard blow anywhere on your body, and the blood vessels break and leak under the skin. The skin in the area turns reddish-purple, then gets a darker blue/black before it fades.

The amount of leaking from the blood vessels in the delicate skin under your eyes is usually very small, compared to a nasty bruise. But the leaking is ongoing, day after day. This is why the dark color under your eyes can go on for years, and never seems to fade away.

What you can do about it

An happinesslifetime.com eye cream can make a big difference -- IF if contains ingredients proven to reverse the problem.

(In case you're wondering: An happinesslifetime.com eye cream, an eye serum and an eye gel all mean the same thing. The ingredients are what make the difference, not what you call the product.)

There are three ingredients with a proven record in clinical testing:

-- Homeo Age is an extract of algae from Canada. It stimulated skin cell growth by 25 percent in the under-eye area in scientific testing. The extract is rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

-- Eyeliss is a peptide compound created in Europe. It reduced capillary permeability (leaking) in clinical trials. It also improving the lymph circulation under the eyes (reducing the puffiness that causes bags). And it improved the skin's firmness and elasticity.

-- Haloxy is the third proven ingredient. It helps to thicken the skin under the eyes. It also boosts circulation to remove the accumulated hemoglobin that causes the dark circles.
