Are you someone who is dealing with dark-colored eyelids? Chances are that this dark pigmentation doesn’t fade after a good night’s sleep, regular exercise, or taking care of your health. If you are tired of using a concealer daily to hide this all-too-common problem, it’s time to switch to something natural and effective.
What Causes Dark Eyelids?
Dark eyelids are generally hereditary and found in populations with darker pigment in general, and is a result of hypervascularity or hyperpigmentation of the skin. When we see someone with dark eyelids, there is a tendency to think that this is a sign of illness or extreme tiredness. However, just like undereye circles, dark eyelids can also be caused or exacerbated by lifestyle choices such as inadequate diet and water intake, a lack of sleep, overexposure to blue light, sun exposure, melasma, and the aging process.
The reason for this is the overproduction of ‘melanin’ – a natural brown pigment responsible for skin color but can also overproduce to darken the skin around the eyes. Loss of collagen also contributes to poor recovery of dark skin around the eyes.
How Do I Get Rid of Dark Eyelids?
Once underlying medical concerns are ruled out, natural topical treatments are the most effective way to get rid of eyelid discoloration. This is because the fortifying active ingredients in natural botanicals slows pigment production and increases the thickness of the eyelid skin. Though these treatments are admittedly a bit slower than PRP or injectable filler treatments – going natural provides long-lasting results with no side effects.
‘DevaBright’ for Hyperpigmentation
The proprietary blend of Devabright in our BioScience Peptide Complex and SunProtect SPF30+ is a gentle and effective way to restore even skin tone and eyelid discoloration. DevaBright is formulated with organic and wildcrafted ingredients…a clinically effective blend of Licorice Root, Uva ursi (or Bearberry), and Kojic Acid from Mushrooms – the three most effective proven botanicals that fade and naturally rebalance the overproduction of melanin. (Learn more about How Devabright works). Kojic acid also treats uneven skin tone in those with darker skin, and has been used extensively in Japan and South Korea for centuries to lighten/brighten skin,
BioScience Peptide Complex has Hyaluronic Acid and Clinically Proven regenerative Skin Peptides (Argireline and Matrixyl) that fortify thin skin to restore lost volume and fill in sunken or hollowed-out appearance around the eyes. Vitamin C, in addition, brightens and plumps the area.
Soothing With Eye Formulas
If you can’t avoid stress, take a two minute break in between work, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and gently apply refrigerated Aloe Eye Serum around the delicate eye skin. The cooling sensation relaxes the strained eyes, detoxes, and improves blood flow for a refreshed look.
Our PuraVeda Organics Eyeline Prevention Oil is a nighttime repair formula with ingredients like Hempseed Oil, Almond Oil, Eyebright, Calendula, Rose, and several other active botanicals that firm and brighten this age-betraying area. For best results, gently massage the skin around the eyes with the roll-on applicator before bedtime as the last step in your skin care regimen. The calming botanicals in these eye formulas rebalance dehydration/ loss of volume and boost collagen for younger-looking eyes with less expression lines and crinkles.
