Why Do I Have Dark Circles Under My Eyes?

Are dark eye circles making you look tired and older than you are? There are several things that could be causing your dark circles, beyond lack of proper sleep. Aging results in fat loss or sagging of the skin and can produce a hollowed appearance under your eyes.

Excessive dark pigment is common in people with brown or olive skin and it can be exacerbated by sun exposure. Genetics can also be a factor. You may have inherited hollows under your eyes, deep tear troughs, or hooded eyes that can cast shadows. But in most cases, dark circles are caused by unique properties of the very thin skin around the eye. Eyelid skin can also reveal the underlying blood vessels, at merely half a millimeter thick. There are often a number of contributing factors when it comes to dark under-eye circles. Because of this, you will achieve the best results by addressing each with the treatment designed for your specific circumstance.
