Dehydration
When your body is not receiving the proper amount of water.
Age
As you get older, your skin becomes thinner. You also lose the fat and collagen needed to maintain your skin’s elasticity.
Fatigue
Lack of sleep can also cause fluid to build underneath your eyes, causing them to appear puffy. As a result, the dark circles you see may actually be shadows cast by your puffy eyelids.
Eye strain
Staring at your television or computer screen can cause significant strain on your eyes. This strain can cause blood vessels around your eyes to enlarge.
Allergies
Allergic reactions and eye dryness can trigger dark circles.
Allergies can also increase your urge to rub and scratch the itchy skin around your eyes.
Sun overexposure
Overexposure to the sun can cause your body to produce an excess of melanin, the pigment that provides your skin with color.
Genetics
Family history also plays a part in developing dark circles under your eyes.
Medical treatments
If the home remedy does not work then Some of the more common treatment include:
- chemical peels to reduce pigmentation
- laser surgery to resurface the skin and enhance skin tightening
- medical tattoos to inject pigment into thinning skin areas
- tissue fillers to conceal blood vessels and melanin that are causing skin discoloration beneath your eyes.
- fat removal to remove excess fat and skin, revealing a smoother and more even surface
- surgical implants of fat or synthetic products
