Have you ever woken up with the most prominent panda eyes ever? Whether you didn’t get enough sleep the night before, or just are having one of those weeks, we’ve all experienced under eye bags and puffiness at least once or twice. That's why we've collected the most common reasons and causes for under eye circles and darkness, in addition to proving you with 9 eye cream solutions you can find in Egypt.  

What Causes Dark Circles?

In addition to lack of sleep being the root cause of dark circles, there are a couple other factors that can result in under eye bags and pigmentation like:

1- Aging: Darker under eyes are a natural repercussion to aging. Naturally we lose some of the fat present under our eyes, which consequently manifests as sunken under eyes and dark shadows.

2- Genetics: Genetics play a huge role in the intensity and likelihood of developing undereye bags.

3- Lifestyle Factors: Lack of sleep, stress, excess caffeine, smoking, dehydration and even sun exposure can cause darkness to manifest under your eyes.

What’s the Ultimate Fix to Dark Circles?

Other than the at-home remedies and routines you could follow from the comfort of your kitchen like cold press, tomato or cucumber under eye masks, cold tea bags, coconut oil and turmeric, the most effective cure to preventable eye bags and puffiness are Eye Creams.

Eye creams are quite the investment, they are the smartest preventative measure that will keep your skin firm and supple down the line. Not just that though, eye creams also:

- Prevents common signs of aging: Due to dehydration and natural environmental stressors, your skin can be exceedingly prone to early signs of aging.

- Decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: With the help of vitamins and hydrators, eye creams can intensely hydrate your under eyes, decreasing the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles.

- Minimizes puffiness: Puffiness can be caused due to sleep deprivation, allergies, and aging, and eye creams have ingredients that reduce these visible signs of fatigue.

- Reduces the appearance of dark circles: eye creams can greatly minimize the look of discoloration and give you a brightening boost as they are full of beneficial botanicals.

- Strengthens and protects delicate skin: Thin under-eye skin is the most vulnerable and prone to irritants compared to the rest of the face. Eye creams are full of ingredients that target this specific area.
