Dark Circles

About Dark Circles

Dark circles beneath the lower eyelids can cast shadows, appearing in hues of brown, blue, black, or purple. While they can affect anyone, they are often more noticeable with age, in individuals with a genetic predisposition, and in those with darker skin tones, who are naturally more prone to hyperpigmentation around the eyes.

Factors of Dark Circles:

Here are some key factors that contribute to the appearance of under-eye circles:

Age: As we age, our skin naturally thins and loses elasticity. This can make the blood vessels beneath the eyes more visible, leading to a darker appearance. This effect can be more prominent when our fat pads drop.
Fatigue: While often cited as the primary cause, the link between fatigue and dark circles can be complex. Lack of sleep can make existing circles appear more prominent and the skin paler.
Allergies: Allergic reactions can trigger the release of histamines in the body, causing blood vessels to dilate and become more visible.
