The formation of dark circle below the eyes.

The skin under our eyes is thin which thus led to it getting dry and wrinkled as we age. The veins become more prominent and lead to the formation of dark circle below the eyes.

Causes of Dark Eye / Under Eye Circle

There are many causes for the formation of the dark circles under the eyes.

The most common ones are:

Lack of sleep

Sleep is important as it allows the skin to rest. Late night partying or working throughout the night can cause the skin to grow wan and make the blood vessels under the eyes look more prominent.

Hereditary

Can you believe it? Dark eye circles can be genetic. Certain people who have sensitive skin or prone to allergies are more prone to dark eye circles. Continuous rubbing of the eyes can thicken and darken the skin and thus cause the formation of dark eye circles. Do not rub your eyes unnecessarily.

Excessive exposure to the sun

Long hours under the sun increase melanin production and thus increase the chance of dark eyes circles. Try not to be under the sun for too long.
