Dark circles are a common issue faced by men and women. These are usually accompanied by bags and can make you look older than you actually are. And the worst part is that they are difficult to get rid of.

Dark circles are more common in people of old age, non-white ethnic groups, and ones with a genetic disposition to the dark circles. Usually, they are harmless and don’t require medical attention. But, they can impact your appearance.

The most logical explanation for this issue is fatigue. However, there are several other factors responsible for contributing to the formation of dark circles. Here are a few of these contributing factors:

1. Fatigue - Extreme fatigue, oversleeping, or sleep deprivation can result in the formation of dark circles underneath your eyes and making your skin appear dull and pale. The buildup of fluid under the eyes because of lack of sleep makes them appear puffy.

2. Age - Another common cause behind dark circles is that it is natural result of aging. As you grow old, the skin starts to get thin. You lose collagen and fat needed for ...
... maintaining the skin’s elasticity. This makes the area under the eyes darker.

3. Eye Strain - When you stare a lot at your computer screen or television, it can result in significant strain. The blood vessels present around the eyes start to enlarge resulting in the surrounding skin to get darkened.

4. Allergies - Eye dryness and Allergic reactions can lead to dark circles. This is caused by the release of histamines by the body as a response to the bacteria resulting in the blood vessels to get dilated and become visible.

5. Dehydration - This is another common reason for dark circles. If the body doesn’t get the required amount of water, the skin present under the eyes starts looking dull and sunken. This is because they are in close proximity to the bone.

The skin under the eyes is delicate and needs specific treatments that boost collagen production and remove the dark circles.
