    Women have dark circles due to poor rest or reaching a certain age. However, some men also have dark circles, and the dark circles are very heavy. This makes men with dark circles very troubled because they don’t know why they have dark circles. So what is the reason for boys’ dark circles? The following website will help you understand, so that you can solve your troubles as soon as possible.

    If boys have kidney deficiency, it can cause dark circles. In addition, it may also be caused by other diseases. For example, when you suffer from some chronic diseases that cause microcirculation disorders, dark circles may appear. At this time, it will also be followed by other symptoms, not just kidney deficiency. Dark circles may appear when any organ of the human body, such as the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, etc., is diseased. For example, patients with liver cirrhosis, renal failure, or patients with aplastic anemia will have dark circles. Some endocrine disorders may also be caused, such as hypothyroidism, renal epithelial hypofunction, etc.

    Dark circles under the eyes of boys may also be caused by some chronic diseases. For example, some patients with chronic gastritis are prone to dark circles due to poor long-term digestion and absorption. There are also some people with long-term abnormal liver function tests who often have dark circles. All these reasons, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, can be summarized as kidney deficiency. When a man's kidney qi is deficient, his eyes will lack the nourishment of essence, and then the black color of the kidney will float on the surface, which can lead to dull eyes and dark circles under the eyes.

    2. How to remove dark circles under eyes

    1. Ice compress promotes blood circulation. Wrap two or three ice cubes in plastic wrap, fold a cotton towel over your eyelids, and then put the ice cubes on top. Using refrigerated tea bags or makeup remover cotton soaked in frozen milk can also reduce swelling and calm down.

    2. Apply eye essence in the morning, noon and evening. When applying eye essence, combine it with some gentle eye massage techniques to alleviate the erosion of dark circles. It can replenish moisture in a short period of time, relieve fatigue, and quickly remove edema and dark circles.

    3. Do more eye exercises and massage the acupuncture points near the eyes to improve blood circulation and activate red blood cells around the eyes, which is beneficial to reducing dark circles.

    When measuring blood pressure on the right eye, place the index finger of your right hand across the eye bag. The left index finger starts from the inner corner of the eye. Tap your right index finger to the corner of your eye. Do it once, rest for 5 to 6 seconds, then start again (use your right hand for the right eye).

    Blood: Touch the ring finger and middle thumb lightly on the eye bags, gently drag it to the temple and push for 3 seconds. Repeat the pose 5 times.

    In addition, use your middle thumb on the eye bag, and massage in circles starting from the inner corner of the eye to the canthus of the eye (5 circles as the standard), repeat once for each side of the eye.

    4. Don’t overwork yourself or stay up late for a long time. Develop a good habit of resting on time. People who like to go to bars and nightclubs or people who always work overtime at night should pay attention to adjusting their rest time.

    5. Keep your emotions happy, don’t let your emotions be in a state of anxiety or depression for a long time, let alone drink and smoke to relieve your worries. Long-term smoking and drinking, coupled with depression, can cause dark circles.

    6. Eat more foods containing vitamin D, such as animal liver, milk, eggs, lean pork, etc. Supplementing vitamin D can promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients around the eyes and reduce dark circles.

    7. Excessive salt intake in the diet will cause edema and dark circles. If you find that your dark circles are caused by a diet with too much salt, you need to reduce your salt intake.

    8. It is best to wear sunglasses when going out, and use sunscreen with SPF30 or above to avoid the occurrence of dark circles.

    9. If dark circles are caused by poor kidney function, you need to eat more fruits and vegetables such as lobster, lettuce, and more fresh fruits such as citrus.

    10. Drinking a cup of red date water every day will help speed up the operation of qi and blood. Reducing the accumulation of congestion can also reduce the chance of suffering from dark circles due to anemia.
