What Are the Causes of Dark Circles Around Eyes?
Dark circles around the eyes are commonly caused by genetics, aging, and lifestyle factors. Thin or translucent skin under the eyes can make blood vessels more visible, leading to a darker appearance. Lack of sleep, stress, and dehydration can also cause the skin to appear dull and sunken, emphasizing dark circles. Allergies, frequent eye rubbing, and prolonged sun exposure can contribute to pigmentation changes, further intensifying their visibility.
