Steam eye masks do not remove dark circles. When dark circles appear, you should first identify the cause of dark circles and then target treatment to eliminate them.
Dark circles are usually caused by excessive fatigue, late nights and other causes of dilation of capillaries within the subcutaneous tissues of the eye, blood stasis, or can be caused by bruising within the eye socket or under the eyelid skin. The causes are different and the treatments are different, but none of these conditions can be effectively improved by using steam eye mask treatment.
Steam eye masks have the effect of relieving visual fatigue but have no effect on removing dark circles.
For dark circles caused by subcutaneous blood stasis, they can be effectively removed by taking oral medicines that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Hexue Mingmu Tablet and Xuefufu xieyu capsule.
For those caused by blood stasis and capillary dilatation, dark circles can be removed by locally applying cold compresses with ice towels to shrink blood vessels.
