Dark Under Eye Circles
Understanding causes and treatments for tired, dull under-eye skin
Causes
Understanding causes for your under eye circles is the first step in discovering what treatment will suit you best.
Under eye hollowing
Changes in the shape of the fat pads around the eyes due to anatomy and age can contribute to a hollow being formed in the tea trough under the eye. This dip in the facial structure causes shadowing and can emphasis undereye circles
Tiredness
Tiredness, stress, even poor diets all have an impact on our skin quality. When our skin quality is poor, light is absorbed rather than reflected and can make our skin darker and appear more lined.
Thinning skin
A thin dermis layer allows more of the haemoglobin rich muscle that's attached directly under the skin to show through. This often causes a very dark appearance that's visible in all lighting.
FAQs
What causes dark circles?
Tiredness, aging, and thin, dull skin often lead to dark undereye circles.
How can I improve skin quality?
