Dark circles beneath the eyes can be seen in both men and women. Dark circles can make you look older than your actual age. They can be often accompanied by bulgy eye bags which can be problematic to get rid of.
Dark circles are most common in:
- People with a genetic predisposition to periorbital hyperpigmentation.
- People from non-white ethnic groups (darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation around the eye area)
- People in older age groups
Fatigue and Stress seem the most reasonable description for this condition but having said that several other factors can contribute to dark circles under the eyes.
What are the causes of dark circles under the eyes?
Dark circles beneath the eyes are generally caused by exhaustion and stress. Sometimes, what appears to be dark circles under your eyes are merely shadows cast by puffy eyelids or hollows under your eyes that develop as a normal share of aging.
Common causes of the dark circle include:
Fatigue
Lethargy, sleeping longer hours, or just staying up a few hours past your normal bedtime can cause dark circles to form under your eyes. Sleep deprivation can cause your skin to become dull and pale, allowing dark tissues and blood vessels beneath your skin.
Eye stress
Spending long hours viewing a television screen, laptop or cell phone can cause substantial strain on your eyes. This strain can lead blood vessels around your eyes to broaden. As a consequence, the area around your eyes gets pitchy and becomes dark.
Natural Aging
Usual aging is a mutual reason for dark circles beneath your eyes. As you start aging, your skin becomes slender. There is an adequate loss of fat and collagen which is essential to preserve the skin’s elasticity. As this happens, the dark blood vessels beneath your skin become noticeable causing the eyes to darken and be patchy.
Dehydration
Dryness and dehydration in the body result in dark circles under your eyes. When your body doesn’t consume an adequate amount of water, the skin beneath your eyes begins to look cloudy and saggy.
Sun Exposure
Overexposure to the sun can cause your body to produce an excess of melanin, the pigment that offers your skin texture and color. Excess contact with the sun predominantly for your eyes cause pigmentation in the skin to dim and blacken.
Tips to reduce dark under-eye circles
Sufficient Sleep
Getting an adequate amount of sleep help to reduce the arrival of dark circles. Permit yourself seven to eight hours of sound sleep and rest to avoid dark circles.
Elevate your head
Sleep deprivation plays a role in creating those dark bags under your eyes, sometimes it also depends on the way you sleep. Elevate your head with a pillow to avoid fluid from pooling under your eyes which makes them look puffy and swollen.
Cold tea bags
Spread over cold tea bags to your eyes when you have a tiring day. Tea contains caffeine and antioxidants that can help stimulate blood circulation, shrink your blood vessels, and lessen liquid holding beneath your skin. Soak two black or green tea bags in the water and apply on your closed eyes for 10 to 15 minutes.
