Causes of Dark Circles.

Dark circles or periorbital hyper melanosis is a common problem. Every 9 out of 10 people complain of having dark circles. It is a difficult condition to completely correct but there are therapies to reduce its appearance. Dark circles give the face a tired and sad look and makes you appear older.

Causes:

• Constant rubbing of eyes: it traumatizes the skin around the eyes and leads to creation of fine lines.

• Allergies: Atopic dermatitis, asthma, sinusitis, rhinitis, allergies to cosmetics or eye drops

• Sunken eyes, tear trough

• Sign of ageing: loss of elasticity of skin creates folds and makes the under-eye area appear darker

• Superficial location of vasculature on skin under the eyes

• Pigment deposition in under eye skin

• Swelling under the eyes

Uncorrected refractive errors could lead to tiredness of eyes at the end of the day. This can worsen dark circles. Hence get your eyes checked.
