Dark Circles: Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment
What are Dark Circles?
Dark circles can be common in both men and women, and they are often recognised as a sign of tiredness – however, this is not always true. Though dark circles beneath the eyes can be made worse by lack of sleep, the primary reasons for dark circles is hyperpigmentation, age, stress, and genetics.
Dark circles can cause the facial appearance to become duller while causing the eyes to look fatigued. The skin beneath the eyes is some of the thinnest on the body, and this leaves it more susceptible to appearance changes such as dark circles and wrinkles. As we age, the skin will naturally get thinner which may cause veins to become more apparent and lead to darker areas beneath the eyes.

Dark Eye Causes & Risk Factors
What Can Cause Dark Circles?
Dark circles beneath the eyes can be caused by a range of things. Straining the eyes can have a big impact on developing dark circles. Below is a list of factors that may contribute to dark circles forming:
• Age – as you age you may be more prone to dark circle formation
• Genetics – some people may be more likely to get dark circles due to genetics
• Allergies – congestion and allergies can cause dark circles to appear
• Screen Time – looking at screens for long periods can cause eyes strain and result in dark circle formation.
How Can I Prevent Dark Circles?
Dark circles may be difficult to prevent entirely, but their appearance can sometimes be minimised. As we have learned, dark circles aren’t usually caused by lack of sleep – however, tiredness can cause dark circles to be far more prominent. For this reason, getting enough sleep is vital for controlling the appearance of dark circles.
Soaking the circles with tea bags can also help to reduce inflammation and reduce their appearance while drinking plenty of water will help to ensure you don’t become dehydrated.
