It’s a common misconception that lack of sleep and fatigue is to blame for dark circles under the eyes. Dark circles beneath the eyes can have other causes besides these, such as allergies, age, or an iron deficiency, so it’s not the only one. Furthermore, the skin around the eyes may seem darker due to restricted blood vessels creating hyperpigmentation or thinning of the skin around the eyes.
What Causes Dark Circles?
One primary cause of under-eye darkness is that the skin is so thin that blood vessels are more easily seen than elsewhere on the body. Therefore, the dark brown or black color seen directly below the eye results from light reflecting off blood vessels and the blood itself.
Circles under the eyes can signal that you need to switch to a better lifestyle, including getting more sleep or eating better.
Here are some more reasons:
- Sleep deprivation/bad sleep hygiene
- Fever and other allergic reactions
- Decreased levels of fatty tissue in the eye area
- Facial skin becomes increasingly fragile, especially around the eyes
- Due to iron deficiency, anemia
- Overexposure to the Sun
- Rubbing your eyes excessively
- Aging
- Tobacco Use
- Heredity
- Thyroid Problems
How To Get Rid Of Dark Circles?
Dark circles around the eyes can be caused by a number of different things, including stress, hormonal fluctuations, anemia, dehydration, lack of sleep, lifestyle imbalances, allergies, excessive sun exposure, pigmentation issues, skin thinness, and so on.
Although it may seem like a losing struggle, there are various approaches to preventing and dealing with dark circles under the eyes that most people aren’t aware of.
Sufficient time spent sleeping
Getting a good night’s sleep every day is a great way to prevent the appearance of under-eye circles. A person needs roughly 8 hours of sleep to recover from a busy day.
Techniques for Managing Stress
If you’re already stressed out, you’re probably not getting the kind of sleep. Stress can be caused by a number of factors, including work demands and personal issues, but it is important for everyone to take some time off to de-stress. Reduce your stress levels, and improve your health.
Give Up Smoking
The skin around the eyes darkens from smoking due to the damage done to blood vessels and the depletion of Vitamin C. This leads to the formation of dark circles and the darkening of the skin around your eyes.
Identifying skin allergies
A dark circle under the eye may be an allergy symptom. If allergies are to blame for your dark circles, finding the cause of your allergies and eliminating it will help. In addition, treating your allergies will help lessen the appearance of your dark circles.
Drink Water Properly
The elimination of dark circles is just one of the many benefits gained by drinking plenty of water.
Use Sunglasses
The sun’s UV radiation can shorten the skin’s elasticity, resulting in wrinkles and spots, which can contribute to dark circles beneath the eyes. Sunglasses are the greatest option while venturing outside. Sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 should be used on exposed skin, including the area around the eyes.
Make use of a moisturizing cream
Finding an effective eye cream or moisturizer in the free market can be challenging, but there are ways to pick the right one. Select retinol and vitamin K-containing eye creams first. The two chemicals mentioned here effectively reduce the appearance of dark circles under the eyes. Honey, avocado, jojoba oil, vitamin E, and shea butter are great ingredients to look for in an eye cream, as they help keep the delicate skin around your eyes supple and nourished.
Diagnosis and Dark Circles Treatment
Even though dark circles beneath the eyes are rarely caused alarm, they reveal a nutritional deficiency and offer insight into one’s way of life. You should consult a skin expert if dark circles or puffiness develop and worsen under your eyes. If you’re looking for the right solution that you can trust, see us at Midas Aesthetics Clinic.

- Lasers
Potentially alleviating under-eye darkness, laser therapy has been studied and shown to be safe and effective. It also lessens the likelihood of scarring and other adverse consequences.
