I finally know the real reason why dark rings exist:
Dark Circles
Normally, the area around the eyes is well vascularized, meaning there is plenty of circulation supplied via plenty of healthy capillaries to prevent any build up of metabolic wastes and deoxygenated blood which present as dark circles.If you don't get enough excercise, intake too much coffee, tea or alcohol or don't drink enough water, vascularization in this delicate area is reduced and the likelihood of dark circles will be greatly increased. Left untreated over time, the capillaries are damaged and will cease to function well. Micro-circulation is reduced and the tonicity of capillaries must be repaired.Dark Circle PreventionPlenty of fresh water, minimal coffee, tea and alcohol and regular exercise combined with Eye Gel and Eye Cream. The degree to which you should exercise prevention should be dictated by your hereditary tendency toward dark circles: act as soon as they appear or use a preventative treatment 2-3 times a year if you know dark circles run in your family.Puffy upper and lower eyelids can also be attributed to lifestyle and hereditary.
Puffy Eyes
Puffy eyes, under-eye bags and swollen eyelids are a sign of insufficient lymphatic drainage. For some people, they are always an issue, for others its only a problem upon waking. The development of these problems often coincide with changes in hormonal balance or activity (puberty, pregnancy, menopause, the taking of hormonal medications such as contraceptives etc.).Insufficient lymphatic drainage is also a key factor in the development of cellulite -- its reason for being is a hereditary tendency toward an excess of a hormone called "folliculine." 85% of women are affected by this excess. The exess is perfectly safe, it only has aesthetic repercussions.Puffiness and bags can also be due to poor elimination of toxins and normal metabolic wastes, typically observed among those who regularly drink caffeine beverages and among smokers.To treat puffy eyes you must address water retention. Left untreated, water retention around the eyes leads to a build up of fat cells and subsequently loss of skin firmness, followed by tissue distension.
