Description

The dark discolouration or shadows that appear around the lower eyelids are referred to as dark circles, also known as periorbital dark circles or bags under the eyes. They might give the eyes the appearance of exhaustion, fatigue, or a sunken look. Understanding the causes of dark circles necessitates consideration of several aspects, including: 1. Genetics: A genetic predisposition is one of the most prevalent reasons. If dark circles run in your family, you may be more prone to developing them. 2. The skin around the Eyes is sensitive and aging. The skin around the eyes is sensitive and thin. It thins as you age, making blood vessels beneath the skin more visible and giving you a darker look. 3. Poor blood circulation around the eyes can cause blood to pool and appear bluish or purple, causing dark circles. 4. Excessive melanin synthesis behind the eyes can cause hyperpigmentation, which results in dark circles. 5. Allergies and Sinus Problems: Frequent allergies can cause congestion and inflammation, causing blood vessels around the eyes to dilate and dark circles to form. 6. Fatigue and Lack of Sleep: Lack of sleep can cause the skin to seem pale, emphasising blood vessels and dark tissues. 7. Excessive sun exposure might increase melanin production and worsen dark circles. 8. Dehydration: A lack of water can promote skin dryness and make dark circles appear more prominent. Factors Influencing the Formation of Dark Circles: 1.Stress and an unhealthy lifestyle, such as smoking and drinking too much alcohol, can all contribute to the creation of dark circles. 2.Medical conditions like anaemia and thyroid problems can create dark circles.
