Vascular Congestion

Poor blood and lymphatic circulation around the eyes can lead to bluish or purplish dark circles, especially in people with allergies, nasal congestion, or slow lymphatic drainage.

Pigmentation

Under-eye pigmentation can cause dark eye circles and is more common in Asian and darker skin tones due to higher melanin production around the eyes.

Structural

Some dark circles are actually shadows caused by under-eye hollowness and loss of collagen and moisture, creating a groove-like depression beneath the eyes.

Ageing

As we age, reduced collagen and elastin production causes the under-eye skin to thin, making blood vessels more visible and resulting in dark eye circles.

Fatigue

Lack of sleep increases cortisol levels, which breaks down collagen and causes under-eye veins to swell, leading to dark, puffy circles.

Exposure to Sun

Sun exposure can worsen dark eye circles by increasing melanin production, while UV radiation may further darken and intensify under-eye pigmentation.

WHAT CAUSES

Dark Eye Circles?

People often attribute their dark eye circles due to a lack of sleep. Dark circles can affect anyone of any age and ethnicity for a variety of reasons. Genetics, aging, and lifestyle factors all play a part in the development of dark circles. People may also find that allergies, nutrient deficiencies, or underlying health conditions can cause dark circles.

What exactly are dark eye circles?

Dark eye circles are the darkened part of your skin under the lower eyelids. Dark circles under the eyes may look purple, blue or dark brown, depending on your skin colour and condition.

 

Dark eye circles are not the same as eyebags and tear troughs! Eyebags are caused by fat and fluid accumulation and tear troughs refer to the deep crease between the lower eyelid and cheek. Unfortunately, all three problems can be happening on your face at the same time, making you look older and tired all the time.

Natural Ways to Brighter Eyes

Home Remedies for Dark Eye Circles

Most home remedies have limited benefits on dark eye circles, and surgical options can prove daunting to most people, due to the downtime involved and risks of nerve damage, asymmetry, and other risks of going under the scalpel.

01

Sufficient sleep

Getting sufficient sleep is one of the contributing factors to get rid of dark circles. Catching up with seven to eight of sleep hours prevents the skin around your eyes from getting pale and dark.

02

Aloe vera

Aloe vera has been proven scientifically to be the skin's best chum. Aloe vera gel is commonly applied with a few drops of rose water under the skin before massaging gently for 15 minutes.

03

Coconut oil

Coconut oil moisturizes the skin and provides resistance against the dark circle developing factors. Apply once a day marks promising results.

04

Cucumber

Cucumber is a natural antioxidant stimulant that reduces the swelling and heals the damage. Rich in folic acids and Vitamin C, cucumber can help fight free radical and stimulate new collagen growth.

05

Almond oil

Almond oil is the most abundant source of vitamin E. Honey and olive oil can be mixed with almond oil to improve your skin health and make your skin look younger.

06

Honey

Honey strengthens the skin layers, nullifies the damage caused by free radicles, and prevents the degradation of collagen. Apply a spoonful of thin paste and leave for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water.

Aesthetic Treatments for Dark Eye Circles

Professional aesthetic treatments are also available to treat dark eye circles. The non-surgical approaches are more effective relative to home remedies in achieving a fresher, natural look and have zero to minimal downtime.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers

As we age, there is volume loss of important fat pads and also bone loss around our eyes. These make our eyes look hollow with shadows. Dermal fillers are excellent in recontouring, reducing tear trough lines, and also replacing volume loss around our cheeks and eyes.

Botulinum toxin injections

Fine lines and wrinkles under and around the eyes make our eyes look old, dark, and tired. Anti-wrinkle injections with Botulinum toxin are commonly done with fillers to address these causes of dark eye circles.

Eye Booster

Skin restorative treatments like PDRN or HA eye boosters target and improve the eyelids, making the skin around the area younger and brighter.

Laser Treatment for Dark Circles

Laser treatment for dark circles can help target pigmentation and even reduce spider veins on the eyelids.

HIFU

Procedures like HIFU Eyes and 4D Fotona Laser lift help thicken and strengthen the skin, firming the skin around the eyes and reduces eye bags and dark eye circles in the process.

Topical Creams

Cream that contain Vitamin C, retinoids, or growth factors can be beneficial up to a certain extent. They help by strengthening and tightening the skin, reducing fine lines and making blood vessels less prominent.
