Banishing Dark Circles - The key to bright, sparkling eyes
Here are some of the most common causes of under-eye circles:
- Allergies
- Skin disorders like atopic dermatitis (eczema)
- Stress
- Fatigue
- Heredity — dark under-eye circles can run in families
- Pigmentation irregularities
- Rubbing or scratching your eyes
- Sun exposure, which prompts your body to produce more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color
- Thinning skin and loss of fat and collagen — common as you age — can make the reddish-blue blood vessels under your eyes more obvious
- A poor blood circulation
- dark circles with a blue tinge are due to bad blood microcirculation
- dark circles with a brown tinge are due to the oxidation of blood pigments and skin pigmentation
