5.    YOU ARE UNDER A LOT OF STRESS

If there are visible lines near your eyebrows, aside from forehead wrinkles, your body may be signaling that you’re under a lot of stress or repressing negative emotions. When you’re in this state, your body produces more cortisol, which has been linked to premature aging and collagen loss.

While more research needs to be done to prove the direct relationship of stress and wrinkles, plenty of evidence shows that stress may affect the condition of your facial skin.

Though stress is a daily part of living, you can reduce its damaging effects by doing stress-relieving activities like meditating, listening to soothing music, having positive social interactions with your friends, or pampering yourself with leisure and pleasurable endeavors.

6.    YOU’RE LACKING IN IRON OR HAVE A FOOD INTOLERANCE

Typically, you develop dark circles around your eyes when you’re not getting enough sleep. These unflattering marks might also indicate a food intolerance or an iron deficiency.

• Experts say that if you change your diet and reduce dairy and wheat intake, you may see an improvement; the dark circles should lighten.
• You should also see some results if you totally avoid alcohol; even moderate drinking can cause dark circles.
• Increase your intake of iron-rich foods and supplements to get rid of the dark circles. This is especially important if you’re also experiencing frequent fatigue or you’re prone to colds and dizziness.
• You may also take vitamin C supplements to help your body absorb more iron from the vegetables you eat.

Sometimes, the lines around the eyes may also be linked to kidney impairment. Try increasing your water intake and avoiding foods rich in salt. The appearance of your eyes should improve.
