Okay, But What Exactly Are Dark Circles? 

In simple terms, dark circles occur when the skin under your eyes appears blue, black or brown. This hue depends on your natural skin tone.  According to expert studies, dark circles are more prevalent in people of colour. 

Are Dark Circles The Only Under Eye Concern In People?  

Unfortunately, no. Dark circles is one of the most common concerns that take a toll on your appearance. Additionally, the lack of sleep, stress, lifestyle choices and natural factors manifest in other forms – puffiness, fine lines and creasing. We discuss these concerns and how to treat them later in this blog. 

What Are The Different Factors That Lead To Dark Circles?  

Ahead, we list factors that cause dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines in the under-eye area. 

- Lack of sleep: As touched upon briefly in the intro – less sleep leads to a significant drop in oxygen supply to the under-eye area. This causes the blood vessels to expand, appearing as dark circles on the outside.   

- Ageing: Ageing is a natural process which may enhance your dark circles. As you get older, your skin becomes thinner and a lot looser. This exposes the network of blood vessels in the under-eye area a.k.a. dark circles. Additionally, you may notice signs of fine lines, wrinkles, and more around the eyes.  

- Genetics: Genetically, some folks are more susceptible to dark circles. Case in point – according to scientific studies, Indians are prone to developing dark circles from a young age.  

- Strained eye: Constantly staring at screens (re: phones, TVs, computer screens, etc.) can also dilate the under-eye blood vessels – leading to dark circles.  

- Pigmentation: Sun-induced pigmentation can lead to uninhibited melanin production, resulting in dark circles.  

- Dehydration: Dehydration leads to dark circles and puffiness. For the unaware, dehydration makes your skin look paler, enhancing the appearance of pesky dark circles. Additionally, dehydration results in fluid pooling in the under-eye area that makes it appear swollen.
