What Causes Under-Eye Dark Circles?
Dark circles can be caused by a combination of factors, including:
- Thin under-eye skin The skin under the eyes is the thinnest on the face, making underlying blood vessels and structures more visible.
- Volume loss and hollowness (tear troughs) Over time, natural changes to bone support and fat pads can lead to hollowing under the eyes, creating shadows and a darker appearance.
- Pigmentation Some people naturally have more pigment under their eyes due to genetics, skin type, sun exposure, or inflammation.
- Lifestyle factors Fatigue, dehydration, allergies, and nasal congestion can make dark circles appear more prominent.
- Vascular factors Prominent blood vessels or fluid retention can create a bluish or purplish tinge under the eyes.
