Winter can take its toll on people in many ways, ageing skin, increased weight, a heightened risk of osteoporosis and cancer are just some of these.
Research has found that throughout the seasons circles and bags under the eyes appear significantly darker in the colder months. This is apparently because of a lack of sunlight which leads to paler skin and emphasises eye bags. It can be made worse by us all feeling more tired and lethargic in winter due to a lower level of vitamin D, which is vital for bone health and is generated by the body when it is exposed to sunlight.
Experts say that lack of vitamin D has a negative effect on the appearance of dark circles and puffy eyes. It can age a woman by 4.7 years, putting more than 10 per cent on a woman’s age if she is 40.
A study in New York found that 82 per cent of women had dark circles and puffy eyes in winter as opposed to 38 per cent in summer.
Below are some tips to help dark circles and puffy eyes.
- Take a power nap – even if it is just for 15 minutes it can trick your body into thinking you have slept for much longer
- Use a cooling compress (or some wet cotton wool) to help temporarily shrink the blood vessels, reducing puffiness
- Eye creams that contain vitamin K and retinol can also help
- slices of raw potato over your eyes
- Eat less salt, as it encourages fluid retention and may lead to puffy eyes.
- If all else fails, make-up can also be used to change the coloration of skin
So there we go, Winter can make your eyes look five years older so we should all go on holiday somewhere hot for winter.
