Causes of Dark Circles Under The Eyes

Causes of Dark Circles:

* Age:

With the preceding age the skin under the eyes becomes thinner and veins under the eyes become more prominent.

* Fatigue and lack of sleep:

Fatigue and lack of sleep can cause reduced moisture within the skin but can also increase swelling.The effect is so instant that it can cause the skin to appear instantly aged after even as little as one night without adequate amount of sleep.

* Stress and depression:

* Hyper pigmentation:

This will obviously have its toll.Mostly it is a genetic condition.But some adverse side effects of drugs can cause this as well.

Skin under the eyes is one of the most exposed areas of face, sunlight reaches here and causes UV rays to absorb, causing the burning and damage associated with under eye circles. It also causes dryness, leading to under-eye circles.
