Dark circles, also known as periorbital hyperpigmentation, are a common cosmetic concern characterised by the appearance of dark, discoloured patches or circles beneath the eyes. These areas typically manifest as a result of thin and delicate skin in the under-eye region, which makes blood vessels and the underlying structures more visible. Dark circles can be a source of self-consciousness for many individuals and are often associated with fatigue, stress, or ageing. While they are usually not a serious medical condition, they can have a significant impact on one’s overall facial appearance and can make a person appear tired or older than they actually are.

What are Dark Circles?
Causes of Dark Circles
Genetics: Genetic predisposition can play a significant role in the development of dark circles. If your parents or other family members have dark circles, you may be more prone to them.
Ageing: As we age, the skin naturally becomes thinner and loses some of its collagen and fat. This can make blood vessels more visible and contribute to the appearance of dark circles.
Sleep Deprivation: A lack of sleep or poor sleep quality can lead to puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. The skin in this area can also appear paler, making blood vessels more prominent.
Allergies: Allergic reactions can cause inflammation and darkening of the under-eye area. Common allergens include pollen, pet dander, and certain foods.
Sun Exposure: Overexposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to pigmentation changes in the skin, including the under-eye area.
Thinning Skin: The skin under the eyes is naturally thinner and more delicate, making it prone to discoloration.
Dehydration– The skin can look dull and pigmented due to dehydration or excessive rubbing of eyes also.
Lifestyle Factors– Excessive alcohol, smoking, and stress can all lead to dark circles.
