What are Under Eye Dark Circles?

Under-eye dark circles are discolorations or shadows that appear beneath the eyes. They can result from factors like fatigue, aging, genetics, dehydration, allergies, or lifestyle habits. Thin under-eye skin reveals blood vessels, making circles more noticeable. Though not harmful, they can affect appearance and confidence. Treatments include skincare, hydration, proper sleep, and medical options like creams, laser therapy, or fillers.

How to get them better

Under-eye dark circles can improve with proper sleep, hydration, and a balanced diet. Using cold compresses, gentle eye creams with ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or caffeine can help reduce puffiness and lighten pigmentation. Sun protection is essential to prevent further darkening. Avoiding rubbing the eyes, managing allergies, and reducing screen time also support healing. For persistent circles, dermatological treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy may help.

Understanding the cause

Under-eye dark circles are caused by lack of sleep, stress, dehydration, poor diet, excessive screen time, allergies, and genetics. Thin skin around the eyes makes blood vessels more visible, leading to dark shadows. Avoiding unhealthy habits is important as dark circles can make you look tired or older. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps preserve skin health, boosts confidence, and prevents long-term skin damage or discoloration.
