Dark circles

Dark circles under the eyes are a common cosmetic concern that can make individuals appear tired or older than they are. While they are usually not a sign of a serious medical condition, they can make you look tired or older than you are.

What can cause Dark Circles?

Genetics
Some people are more predisposed to having darker skin under their eyes due to genetic factors.
Age
As we age, the skin loses collagen and becomes thinner, making blood vessels more visible, which can contribute to the appearance of dark circles.
Sun Exposure
Excessive sun exposure can increase melanin production, leading to hyperpigmentation under the eyes.
Poor Diet
A lack of essential nutrients in the diet can contribute to skin issues, including dark circles.
Fatigue and Lack of Sleep
Sleep deprivation and fatigue can cause the skin to become paler, making blood vessels and dark tissues more noticeable.
