S wide eyes They are something that worries many of us and I include myself in this great group. Many of us have lived with them for as long as we can remember and many others have been their prey as they grew up due to aging skin and basically a lack of sleep and rest. More or less, by now we can know why we have dark circles and how to remove them (also hide dark circles temporarily), but we may not know what type they are and if they have solution.
Here’s why, from Instagram They decided to make things easier for us and give us the trick to identify our dark circles, something that, without a doubt, promises to go viral.
The trick It can’t be easier. It is made up, after hydrating the area of the eye contour, lightly pinch the eyepiece. In this way, if the dark part disappears it is pigmentation, if on the contrary small wrinkles appear it is thin skin.
It’s about a trick very useful, but as things stand, self-diagnosis may not be the most effective. Mainly because the wide eyes they do not appear only for these two reasons: “Recently, the pinch test which usually gives a quick indication of what type of bags our patients have. If the darkness seems to disappear when you do this, it’s probably eye bags or thin skin, not dark circles or pigmentation. However, the causes of dark circles are much wider, ”says Sebastian Podlipnik, a dermatology specialist who works at the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona and the Dermatology Diagnosis Clinic.
“There are many causes that can produce wide eyes and among the possible factors contributing to its appearance are i excessive pigmentation, shadow due to lacrimal fossa, infraorbital adipose hernia, shadow due to laxity, infraorbital rhytides and thin, translucent skin overlying the orbicular muscle of the eye. Given the different possible causes of the wide eyestreatments must be tailored to each patient, “he adds.
It is true that “one of the main reasons for dark circles is hyperpigmentation, which can be caused by both environmental factors (such as sun exposure, smoking and lack of sleep) and genetic factors. People with Asian and African skin types are predisposed to having hyperpigmentation under the eyes, because there is a common genetic trait of very thin skin on the lower eyelid. This allows the veins to show through, giving a darker look, “so this trick cannot be generalized.
“Furthermore, the seasonal allergies and nasal congestion can contribute to poor circulation in the lower eyelid, causing the veins to dilate. When the veins under the eye dilate, they become larger and darker. In addition, the loss of volume, fat and collagen under the eyes (which occurs naturally with age) contributes significantly to dark circles, leading to a sunken appearance and thinner skin, which can enlarge your appearance.
Decidedly, proof of step It serves as a quick acknowledgment, but as the doctor says, “if you want to improve them, the first step you need to take is to consult your dermatologist. “
