    Five foods to help you get rid of dark circles

    The skin around your eyes is relatively thin and delicate. That's why it's prone to issues like dark circles, which render your face dull and lifeless. Dark circles basically occur when blood vessels under your eyes become dilated/pressurized. The condition might get triggered by certain pollutants, poor skin flexibility, genetics, pregnancy and sleep issues. Here are five foods that can help you fix this.

    Cucumber: It hydrates skin, and lightens dark circles

    Packed with strong antioxidants such as vitexin, orientin, and cucurbitacins, cucumbers have great skin-lightening and astringent properties. Also rich in collagen-boosting silica, sulphur, and essential vitamins such as A, C, E, and K, it helps in hydrating the skin, increasing elasticity of blood vessels, and lightening dark circles. So, add more of it to your salads and sandwiches, to kick out dark circles.

    Watermelon: With 90% water-content, it's great for fighting dark circles

    With over 90% water-content, watermelon is one of the most hydrating foods around. It also contains beta carotene, lycopene, fiber, vitamins B1, B6, and C, potassium, and magnesium, and all of these are great for your skin and eye health. It is known to improve the elasticity of blood vessels, and fight dark circles. Snack on it, or add to your juices and smoothies.

    Tomato: It protects blood vessels and enhances blood-circulation to eyes

    The bright, dense red pigment in tomatoes indicates the presence of powerful antioxidants, in particular lycopene, that helps protect the delicate blood vessels and enhance blood circulation to the eyes. Also containing lutein, beta carotene, quercetin, and vitamin C, tomatoes are great for the overall skin health. Add it to your salads, or toss some while preparing your dishes, or prepare its soup.

    Sesame: It prevents formation of dark circles, nourishes the eyes

    A highly nutritious food, sesame aids the production of collagen, which is known to smoothen and moisturize the skin. It also contains other essential nutrients such as zinc, copper, manganese, calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamin B1, which are crucial for skin and eye health. Include more of it in your diet, as it will help prevent formation of dark circles, and nourish the eyes.

    Blueberries: Hydrating, healthy and a juicy taste to die for!

    Rich in powerful antioxidants and important nutrients such as vitamins C and K, manganese, lutein, quercetin, anthocyanin, blueberries can significantly improve blood flow around your eyes, and thus eliminate dark circles. So make sure to add it to your desserts, milkshakes, and juices, to reap its many amazing skin health-boosting benefits. What's more? That nice, juicy taste is something to die for.

    Some other handy tips to fight dark circles

    To naturally stay free from dark circles, follow these tips: 1) Eat a balanced diet rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals, 2) Exercise on a regular basis to improve blood circulation, and 3) Get 7-8 hours of good-quality sleep on a daily basis.
