FAQ: How to get rid of dark puffy circles under eyes?

Dark circles can happen anytime during your life but are very common after childbirth, when you are waking every few hours to feed or care for your new baby. Because of this, many new moms want to know how to get rid of dark puffy circles under eyes. Allergies and illnesses can cause dark circles too.  The thin skin underneath your eyes has many small veins and capillaries. When you are tired or dehydrated, these blood vessels can dilate and become engorged with blood, resulting in dark circles and a swollen, puffy appearance under the eyes. Some extra melanin pigment may also be released. 



How to get rid of dark puffy circles under eyes? Really the first step is prevention. The best way to prevent dark circles is to drink plenty of water and get plenty of sleep, if possible. Topical Vitamin K (phytonadione) has been shown in several published research articles* to help improve the appearance of dark under-eye circles. Numerous clinical studies also support the ability of Vitamin B3 (also known as Vitamin PP), to reduce the appearance of dark circles**. 


Belli Motherhood's Eye Brightening Cream features both Vitamin K and Vitamin B3, also known as Vitamin PP, (derived from the Saccharomyces Cereviseae yeast) to keep eyes looking fresh and well-rested. It also contains rice protein, soy protein, and ginseng root extract to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
