The skin around our eyes is the most delicate and thinnest on the face, making it more prone to signs of fatigue, aging, and environmental stress. Constant exposure to digital screens, lack of sleep, and lifestyle factors contribute to dark circles and puffiness.
A dedicated eye care product is essential to address these concerns effectively. While many rely on heavy creams that may not fully absorb into the skin, a lightweight yet potent eye serum can provide deep nourishment and visible results. This is where Kama Ayurveda’s Kumkumadi Youth-Revitalising Eye Contour Serum steps in as an Ayurvedic solution designed to restore radiance and youthfulness to the eye area.
In Ayurveda, dark circles are often linked to an aggravated Vata imbalance, which can result from several lifestyle factors such as irregular sleep patterns, lack of adequate rest, and poor dietary habits. Skipping meals or eating at inconsistent times can further disrupt the body's natural balance, leading to increased stress and fatigue.
Vata Imbalance and Dark Circles
An imbalance in Vata dosha can contribute to dehydration, making the under-eye area appear dull and sunken. Consuming foods that are cold, dry, or overly processed can further disrupt Vata, leading to additional symptoms like anxiety, restlessness, constipation, bloating, and overall skin dryness.
Pitta Imbalance and Dark Circles
On the other hand, an imbalance in Pitta dosha can also contribute to dark circles, but for different reasons. Pitta imbalance often manifests as increased heat in the body, leading to symptoms such as hot flushes, a burning sensation, excessive thirst, and heightened irritability. A diet rich in oily, salty, and spicy foods, combined with high-stress levels, can aggravate Pitta, causing inflammation and under-eye discolouration.
How Lack of Sleep and Blue Light Exposure Affect Dark Circles
Apart from natural aging, lifestyle factors play a major role in the formation of dark circles and under-eye fatigue. One of the biggest culprits today is blue light exposure from digital screens. Prolonged screen time can disrupt the skin’s natural repair cycle, leading to pigmentation and dullness around the eyes.
Similarly, lack of sleep weakens blood circulation, causing blood vessels to appear more prominent under the delicate under-eye skin. To prevent this, ensure you get 7-8 hours of quality sleep and use an eye serum like Kumkumadi Youth-Revitalising Eye Contour Serum to restore brightness and hydration.
