Dark circles under the eyes are a common cosmetic concern characterized by the appearance of darkened skin beneath the eyes. These can range in color from blue or purple to brown or black, depending on the underlying cause and the individual’s skin tone.
Causes of dark circles
Dark circles under the eyes are a common concern and can result from various factors such as:
Age: As we age, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner and loses fat and collagen, making blood vessels more apparent and leading to darker circles.
Lack of Sleep: Sleep deprivation can cause the skin to appear pale, making the underlying blood vessels more visible and leading to the appearance of dark circles.
Dehydration: When the body is dehydrated, the skin under the eyes can look dull and sunken, emphasizing dark circles.
Pigmentation: Hyperpigmentation can cause dark circles, especially in individuals with darker skin tones. This can be due to factors like sun exposure or hormonal changes.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol consumption, and poor diet can contribute to the development of dark circles by affecting blood circulation and skin health.
