Dark circles under the eyes
This unpleasant cosmetic defect often worries patients. The causes of black circles under the eyes in women are as follows:
- Acute lack of vitamin C, as a result of which capillaries become fragile and the skin loses its elasticity and density. You can compensate for the lack of this vitamin with fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Often, the causes of black circles under the eyes in women are heredity. In such people, the vessels on the lower eyelids are located too close to the surface of the skin.
- Iron deficiency also leads to dark circles around the eyes. In this case, simply add as many products containing this microelement to the daily menu as possible. These include beef, liver, apricots and apples.
- In addition, the lower eyelids suffer if there is a lack of sleep. Very often, due to an unhealthy lifestyle, swelling or dark circles appear around the eyes. In such cases, it may be advisable to increase the number of hours you sleep and leave as much time as possible for rest.

How to get rid of acne
First of all, you should improve the functioning of the esophagus and stomach. If the appearance of acne is associated with poor kidney function or lung diseases, then contact the clinic for further treatment. To make pimples go away as quickly as possible, wipe them with lotion with salicylic acid or use medications with the addition of zinc, essential oils or brewer's yeast.
Fatty foods, spicy and salty foods, alcohol and sweet carbonated drinks should be excluded from your daily diet. Also, to normalize the functioning of the esophagus, eat fresh cabbage, prunes, apples, boiled beets and fresh carrots. To fight acne, you need phosphorus, which is found in fish and cottage cheese. All foods containing large amounts of vitamin C will also help renew the skin. These include rosehip decoction, black currants, raspberries and citrus fruits.
Getting rid of bags
First of all, you should find out whether the appearance of bags is associated with heart or kidney problems, and only then begin to get rid of them. Any swelling of the lower eyelid is primarily associated with a violation of the water-alkaline balance. Therefore, you should exclude salted fish, pickled and pickled vegetables, as well as smoked foods and fast food from the menu. The child is recommended to take daily walks in the fresh air and rest.
Women can be recommended to make special face masks from cold cottage cheese or raw potatoes. To do this, place a small amount of cottage cheese in a gauze bag, moisten it in cold milk and apply it to the lower eyelid. The mask is kept for a long time, at least 30 minutes, after which a nourishing cream is applied to the skin of the eyelids. A compress of raw grated potatoes can be made both in the morning immediately after sleep and in the evening. Compresses made from hot and cold chamomile decoction, applied alternately, are quite helpful.
Children can be advised to apply slices of fresh cold cucumber or cotton swabs with a cool decoction of chamomile or black tea to their eyelids.
Bags under the eyes
There can be several reasons for the appearance of bags. They often appear when the water-salt balance is disturbed. For example, a large amount of salty or pickled food eaten at night is reflected in the form of swelling under the eyes the next morning. Swollen eyelids often appear due to regular lack of sleep or working at the computer.
In children under one year of age, bags may occur due to the first teeth. This process is quite painful and is often accompanied by fever and swelling on the baby’s face. In addition, children at this age often suffer from stomach colic, which disrupts their sleep patterns and increases intracranial pressure. This also causes bags under the eyes to appear.
Often this symptom can be observed during allergies or viral eye diseases. There are diseases in which the lower eyelid swells. Bags under a child's eyes indicate problems with the heart and kidneys. Due to poor performance of the latter, the water-salt balance is disrupted and fluid is retained. Swelling can occur in other parts of the body, but it is most noticeable on the face.
Kidney disease is manifested by the following symptoms:
- Fatigue quickly.
- Pain syndrome in the lumbar region.
- Swelling of the legs.
- Rare urination.
- Very often, when the kidneys are not functioning properly, there is a headache and watery eyes.
If, in addition to bags under the eyes, the child experiences shortness of breath and weakness, then parents should pay close attention to the health of their baby. Such signs indicate heart failure.
Dark spots
Age spots are different. They differ in color, size and causes. What causes pigment spots to appear on the face? There are many diseases that lead to the appearance of pigmentation:
- Diffuse toxic goiter, otherwise called Graves' disease, often provokes the appearance of age spots.
- People with mental disorders often have mottled skin, with brown, uneven spots reminiscent of age-related pigmentation.
- Very often the cause of this symptom is a hormonal imbalance. This is why age spots appear during pregnancy or menopause.
- This cosmetic defect can also be observed in liver diseases and pathologies of the development of this organ.
- Poor metabolism, which results in poisoning of the body with toxins, adversely affects the skin and causes spots to appear on the face.
There are many different remedies for treating and restoring pigmentation. First of all, you should visit an endocrinologist, gastroenterologist and gynecologist and find out why age spots appear on the face in this case. If pigmentation is not associated with any diseases, then you can begin treatment immediately. Unfortunately, in most cases, traditional medicine is powerless to help in the fight against age spots. Such patients can only benefit from beauty salon procedures. For example, chemical peeling with fruit acids has proven itself to be excellent. Under its action, spots are perfectly discolored, and the skin acquires a uniform shade. In more complex cases, laser, mesotherapy and photoremoval are used.
Red dots
They can be either small or large. The red dot is a benign formation that appears as a result of protrusion of a blood vessel. Otherwise they are called hemangiomas. Cavernous hemangioma occurs both on the surface of the body and on internal organs. The reasons for its formation are injuries, lack of vitamins, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as arthritis and arthrosis. Special mention should be made of patients with a genetic predisposition to the appearance of red dots.
People who work in hazardous industries and are exposed to carcinogenic substances every day are also at risk.
If a red dot appears on the face, then first of all you should find out the cause and eliminate it. The beauty salon can offer the following services:
- Removing dots using electric current.
- Treatment of the skin surface with liquid nitrogen.
- Laser hair removal.
- Cauterization with carbon dioxide.
Traditional medicine advises using garlic or onion juice for this purpose. You can also prepare a compress consisting of fresh plantain leaves.
Vascular network
Otherwise it is called rosacea. The causes of vascular networks on the face are diseases of the heart, gastrointestinal tract and kidneys. And also most often, the vascular network appears in people with diseases of the endocrine system. It's quite difficult to fight her. First of all, you should reconsider your lifestyle and exclude spicy foods and alcohol from your daily menu. It has been noted that most often rosacea affects cooks, welders, metallurgists and other representatives of similar professions, who, due to their professional duties, are forced to work in unfavorable conditions. These also include people whose work activities take place outdoors. Winter frost and summer heat adversely affect the condition of facial skin and damage capillary vessels.
Usually, after examination by a doctor and treatment of the underlying disease, procedures for getting rid of the vascular network begin. There are medications that significantly strengthen the walls of blood vessels. These can be products used internally or ointments for external use. Women should avoid peeling, laser cleaning and facial massage.
Pimples and blackheads
They appear on the skin of the face in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. For example, the degree of slagging of the rectum can be determined by rashes on the chin, around the mouth and on the neck. In order to get rid of acne, you should cleanse the intestines and restore its function.
Regular constipation due to dysbacteriosis often leads to increased oiliness of the skin and enlarged pores. Such a patient often experiences headache and drowsiness. Only after metabolism is restored will the skin condition normalize and performance appear.
Poor functioning of the gallbladder is another reason why acne and pimples occur.
