Dark Circles

What Causes Dark Circles?

Dark circles appear as discoloration or shadowing under the eyes. They can be caused by:

• Genetics: Inherited traits like thin under-eye skin or pigmentation

• Lack of Sleep: Fatigue reduces blood circulation, creating a darker appearance

• Aging: Skin loses elasticity and fat under the eyes, making dark circles more visible

• Sun Exposure: Increases melanin production, leading to pigmentation

• Allergies & Lifestyle: Stress, dehydration, or rubbing eyes can worsen dark circles

How To Prevent Dark Circles

Prevention focuses on lifestyle habits and protective measures:

• Get enough sleep: 7–8 hours daily to support skin repair

• Use sunscreen: Protect under-eye skin from UV damage

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep skin plump

• Gentle care: Avoid rubbing or tugging at delicate under-eye skin

• Balanced diet: Include vitamins C, K, and antioxidants for skin health
