Dark Circles
Dark circles under the eyes can give a tired and aged appearance. They have multiple causes, including:
- Thinning Skin & Loss of Collagen: As we age, the skin around the eyes thins, making blood vessels more visible and contributing to a darkened appearance.
- Hyperpigmentation: Excess melanin deposition under the eyes can lead to dark circles.
- Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation and fluid buildup, leading to puffiness and shadows under the eyes.
- Genetics and Lifestyle Factors: Family history, lack of sleep, stress, and dehydration can worsen dark circles.
