Dark CirclesWhat are Dark Circles?

Dark circles are the appearance of darker skin under the eyes, typically characterised by a blue, purple, or brownish hue. They are a common cosmetic concern and can affect the overall appearance of the face, making individuals look tired or older.

There are many reasons dark circles may be present:

  • Dark circles can be hereditary, often due to a family history of similar skin issues.
  • The skin under the eyes is very thin and delicate, making blood vessels more visible and giving the area a darker appearance.
  • Increased visibility of blood vessels and congestion can lead to a dark, bluish tint under the eyes.
  • Overproduction of melanin in the under-eye area can cause pigmentation and result in dark circles.
  • Poor sleep or insomnia can cause blood vessels to dilate and darken the under-eye area.
  • Allergic reactions or irritation can lead to swelling and darkening of the skin.
  • As skin ages, it loses collagen and elasticity, which can lead to thinning skin and the appearance of dark circles.
  • Insufficient hydration can cause the skin to look dull and exacerbate the appearance of dark circles.
