Chrysin helps get rid of the dark-colored hemoglobin that causes dark eye circles
When
your blood vessels leak, the iron-rich hemoglobin collects in your
eyelid tissue. Hemoglobin is responsible for the bruise-like reddish
blue discoloration characteristic of dark under eye circles. Luckily,
your body makes enzymes like uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase
(UDGT) that can sequentially degrade hemoglobin into biliverdin
(greenish),
then to bilirubin (yellowish), then to hemosiderin (barely brown). As
UDGT degrades hemoglobin into hemosiderin, normal skin coloration
returns!
Scientists
have found that your UDGT can be activated with a small molecule found in
passion flowers called chrysin. Products that contain chrysin therefore will
significantly improve the ability of your own natural UDGT to degrade
hemoglobin and return your eye lid to its natural shade! If you do not have a cream that includes chyrsin, you need to buy some.
