My under eyes have gone so dark in last few weeks, i barely recognise myself in mirror. Sleep is also disturbed honestly. Is this a normal pregnancy thing or something else?
Lack of sleep and hormonal changes are major causes, but it can also be due to low iron or thyroid fluctuations. Make sure you get your regular blood tests done and discuss it with your gynac during your routine visits.
With two babies keeping me awake and active, those dark circles became my permanent makeup! It is mostly just sheer fatigue, so try to sleep whenever you get a free moment.
They are very common due to hormonal shifts and poor sleep. Just try to get 8 hours of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and gently dab a little almond oil or aloe vera gel under your eyes before bedtime.
I think the increased blood flow and changes in sleep patterns can make the skin under our eyes look darker. Drinking lots of water and sleeping early might help reduce them slowly.
It is just your body working double-time to support your baby, which causes tiredness and shadows under the eyes. Don't worry, once you deliver and get back to your routine, they will fade away.
When I got them, my mother made me apply fresh potato juice under my eyes and forced me to take long afternoon naps. Staying ghar pe in a relaxed environment really helped clear them up.
I have developed them too and honestly look so tired all the time now. Does anyone know if there is a safe, natural cream we can use, or should we just stick to cold cucumber slices?
