Allergies cause the dark circles under your eyes
According to Dr. Clifford Bassett, the dark circles beneath your eyelids are directly related to allergies and inflamed sinuses. How do you prevent them this allergy season?
Dr. Basset says:
The best way to prevent this is to choose your parents wisely! No joke, allergies are generally inherited from our parents and when they affect us we need to act and get proper treatment, which in many cases will improve the “shiners.” Allergy injections, medications and sinus care may provide relief, allowing your dark circles to lessen.
Another strategy that helps is to place a cool compress at the end of a long work day over your eyes, too. Also, gently irrigating your eyelids once a day with tear-free shampoo can assist in removing airborne pollutants and those pesky seasonal allergens thus lessening your “allergic shiners.”
