Does not eating enough of the right foods lead to undereye circles?

Resolved Question

Does not eating enough of the right foods lead to undereye circles?

I am only 21 and have bad undereye circles. I am getting enough sleep now but for about 2 years I wasn't (I was working shift work and my boyfriend snores throughout the night) but now I'm not working and sleeping lots and my boyfriend sleeps in a separate room and they are still very bad. In the summertime I wasn't really eating enough so I'm not sure if it's related to that too. Right now I don't eat or drink any dairy (it gives me pimples! and I have severe acne) could that be a problem for circles? I don't take calcium pills but I drink orange juice with added calcium. I am going to ask my dr about calcium pills next time I go. I get lots of meat and fruit and some veggies. A lot of hair comes out when I brush it too (have had this happen for as long as I can remember but now it's worse). Soo ya hair and undereye issues :( I actually think the hair loss might be normal shedding I have pretty long hair but I'm not sure. And once you get dark circles will they ever improve or are you stuck with them? If they will go away how long does it take and what can I do to help it? I'm sad because 2 years ago I had no darkness under my eyes and I'm only 21 :(

Additional Details

Does alcohol contribute to dark circles as well? I do drink quite a bit (not as much lately but still)

Generally, dark circles are genetic. You can never do anything about them.
Drink more water every day. It should be at least 2 - 2.5.
And, do eye exercises.
While sleeping, use a pillow and keep your head at higher elevation than rest of your body. This reduces the blood flow to the eyes and the dark circles may lighten.
Place chilled tea bags or cotton balls on the eyes every day for 15-20 minutes in morning and evening. Also, put thin slices of apple under the eyes. They work just as cucumber.
And, regarding hair fall, I think it is due to lack of proper nutrition so please eat and drink properly.
Eat more of vegetables and fruits.
Avoid caffeine or carbonated drinks.
Drink more of herbal teas.
Hopefully, you should find some improvement.

  • I asked the pharmacist this for my husband - she says it is mostly caused by dehydration - try drinking loads of water and see if it gradually improves
