Tired eyes are a common condition that people usually experience as a result of ageing or lifestyle. As we age, the hollows beneath our eyes become more pronounced as the skin starts to lose elasticity and volume.

In addition to this, the skin beneath our eyes is thinner than that of the rest of the face, and the veins beneath the eyes can become apparent giving us a tired appearance.

Collagen and elastin are two proteins naturally found in the skin, and as we age the production of collagen and elastin begins to deplete leaving us with skin that is less hydrated and loses its ability to ‘bounce back’, therefore leaving us with skin that may require some assistance to maintain its youthful state.

Whilst ageing is one reason we take on a tired look, our lifestyle as well as genetics and environmental factors can also contribute to this concern. It is important to consider these factors when diagnosing the cause of tired eyes as often the treatment will be combined with minor lifestyle enhancements.

Hydration is one key area to consider. We should look for great skin hydration in order to help maintain a less tired look, as well as to aid in keeping the skin plump and bouncy and the hollows less pronounced.

The more defined the hollows, the more the area above these can cast discrete shadows over this area making the under eye present as dark circles which is a classic sign of tiredness.

Of course, a great sleep pattern is also an important way to help control the look of tired eyes, as is a healthy diet and appropriate level of exercise. We all know that inner health is essential to appear bright and alert, as well as to feel our very best.
