It is a no brainer to know that puffy eyes and dark circles make you look tired and give a depressed appearance. Irrespective of the concealers and shadows, one can’t mask the tired looking. Good looks or good clothes often lose their magic if an individual sports a tired looking appearance.
Causes of Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles
To be able to deal with puffy eyes and dark circles, one needs to know the cause of their occurrence. The simplest of causes could be bad or interrupted sleep circle. Sleep is a very essential factor and is when the body rejuvenates and is ready for the next day. 
Sleep deprivation unsettles the natural body cycle and manifests itself in dark and unhealthy looking circles around the eyes. Some people have perpetual dark circles even though they lead a healthy life. This is so because the area under the eyes is the most delicate zone. Often the blood capillaries passing through the skin breaks to give it a discolored and a dark look. The other most common reason is sinus. Excessive congestion stops the blood from flowing freely around the facial area. This causes the blood to accumulate in certain areas and lead to discoloration and dark blotchy spots. An added cause is fluid retention in the body as well. Typically the area around the eyes has a puffy look in the mornings but transcends to normal, as the day progresses.
What You Can Do
Simple measures like a low carbohydrate diet, vitamin and iron rich food will help the skin to breathe and keep it supple and soft. Avoid unnecessary salt intake and oily food on a regular basis. Make sure to add exercise as an essential ingredient to well-being on a regular basis. Externally, place cold compress and use aroma therapy oils like lavender to sooth the tired skin around your eyes when resting. Good eye creams also help to work on the bleeding capillaries.
