Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by factors like sleep deprivation, aging, genetics, allergies, dehydration, sun exposure, poor diet, stress, or environmental factors. They are usually harmless but treatable.
Dark circles under the eyes are a common cosmetic concern characterized by the appearance of darker skin beneath the lower eyelids. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Lack of Sleep: One of the most common causes of dark circles is insufficient sleep or poor-quality sleep. Sleep deprivation can lead to pale skin, making blood vessels underneath the eyes more visible.
Genetics: Some people are genetically predisposed to developing dark circles due to thinner skin under the eyes or inherited pigmentation issues.
Aging: As you age, the skin becomes thinner and loses collagen, making the blood vessels underneath more visible. This can create the appearance of dark circles.
Allergies: Allergies can trigger inflammation and swelling in the eyes, leading to dark circles. Rubbing the eyes, which often occurs due to itching or irritation, can worsen the appearance of dark circles.
Dehydration: When the body is dehydrated, the skin can appear dull and tired, accentuating the appearance of dark circles.
Excessive Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to the sun can increase melanin production, darkening the skin and worsening dark circles.
Poor Diet: Lack of essential nutrients, especially iron or vitamins like vitamin K and vitamin C, can lead to poor skin health, contributing to the development of dark circles.
Stress: Chronic stress can affect sleep patterns and overall health, indirectly causing dark circles.
Environmental Factors: Pollution, dry air, and other environmental factors can cause skin to become irritated or inflamed, contributing to dark circles.
In most cases, dark circles are harmless and can be improved with better sleep, hydration, and skincare routines. However, if they persist or worsen, it’s a good idea to consult a healthcare professional to rule out underlying health conditions.
