1. ☀️ Wear sunscreen
Damage from the sun can lead to hyperpigmentation of the skin ⁠

2. 👁 Avoid rubbing your eyes

Constant eye rubbing can lead to an increase in a melanin pigment in the under eye area. A result of increased melanin is increased dark coloration.

3. 💊 Use Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a great antioxidant that helps fight off free radicals helping to reduce damage from UV light that softens the appearance of hyperpigmentation. ⁠


4. 🦠 Treat allergies

Allergies lead to congestion in the small blood vessels in the under eye area. Congested blood vessels cause dark circles and puffy eyes. ⁠


5.🍴 Maintain a healthy diet

What we eat reflects in our skin. It’s important to eat foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants to help our skin fight free radicals that can lead to hyperpigmentation. ⁠
