Why Do We Get Dark Circles?

We all think under eye dark circles is caused due to lack of sleep? No matter what skincare industry or marketing campaigns for years have been telling us, this is not the only cause of dark circles.

Do you know skin under our eyes is the thinnest on our entire body? Skin under the eye is about 0.5mm thick. Because it is so delicate, any change that happens inside your body, or outer environment it shows up first under our eyes.

To treat the effectively, it helps to understand that dark circles generally fall into three different biological categories.

3 Main Causes of Dark Circles:

1. Vascular Cause

   Vascular cause is the most common reason why people look "exhausted." When you are fatigued, stressed, or aging, the blood vessels under your eyes dilate and retain fluid. Skin there is so translucent, those pooled, oxygen-depleted blood vessels show through as a blue, purple, or dark shadow.

   
   

   Wearing eye glasses can also be cause of restriction of microcirculation in that specific area where specs puts pressure, hence, worsening the pooling effect.

   
   

2. Hyperpigmentation

   Sometimes dark circles are literally just a change is skin color. This is called periorbital hyperpigmentation. It happens when your body produces excess melanin under the eyes. This is highly cause of genetics which is mainly common in Asia, middle Eastern, and in darker skin tones. It can also be triggered by sun exposure or chronic eye-rubbing due to allergies.

   
   

3. Volume Loss

   As we age, we naturally loose collagen and fat under our eyes. This creates a hollow space called tear tough. So, in this case, basically dark circle isn't the issue it's just your the shadow cast by your brow bone because the skin has sunken inwards.

How to Treat Dark Circles?

Let's discover how you can treat. dark circles according to the skin problem, which means targeted skincare actives you should be using for treating vascular dark circles and in case of hyperpigmentation under the eyes.

For treating Vascular Dark Circles

• Retinol / Retinal: The gold standard skin aging treatment. It boosts collagen production over time, making the under eye skin thicker and less transparent so the blood vessels underneath are hidden.

• Vitamin K: It helps with microcirculation and blood clotting, preventing blood from pooling in the capillaries under the eye.

For treating hyperpigmentation Under the Eyes

• Alpha Arbutin: Alpha arbutin is a non-irritating tyrosinase inhibitor that helps in treating hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production.
