The most common complaint that we hear from people who suffer from dark circles is that they always ‘look tired’. Dark circles appear when the skin under your eyes is either of a darker shade or appears to be of a darker shade that the surrounding areas. Why we talk about ‘appearance’ of darkness is the fact that this also depends on how light rebounds off the skin.
Dark circles under the eyes are caused by:
- Vascular changes under the eyes or increased blood vessels
- Hyperpigmentation or the increased presence of melanin in the undereye area. This is also known as periorbital pigmentation.
- Hollowness or loss of volume. This is where the light rebound comes into play. When there is a depression in the region, it may look dark although the actual skin tone may not be different from the surrounding areas.
- Genetic reasons
