What is under eye dark circles?
What is causing dark circles under my eyes?
Stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, excessive sun exposure and aging can contribute to the appearance of dark undereye circles. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and ability to regenerate and as a result, it becomes thinner. This is why more often elderly people will have rather prominent periorbital dark circles regardless of other factors. Dark circles beneath the eyes may be related to periorbital hyperpigmentation, which is basically a condition that results in more melanin being produced by the skin below the eyes, resulting in it appearing to be a darker color. A variety of medical conditions can also contribute directly or indirectly to the appearance of dark undereye circles.
