Dark Circles
Darkness under the eyes from pigmentation, thin skin, hollowing or poor sleep.
Dark circles have several different causes that look similar: pigmentation (common in darker skin tones), visible blood vessels under thin skin, shadowing from a hollow tear trough, and tiredness. Knowing which one you have matters, because the fixes differ — sun protection helps pigmentation, sleep helps tiredness, while hollowing is structural.
Lumping all dark circles together is why most products disappoint.
- Eye area
- Perceived energy
- Apparent age
- That one product fixes all dark circles — causes differ.
- That they always mean poor sleep — genetics and structure matter.
- Sleep consistently
- Use sunscreen around the eyes
- Treat allergies, which cause rubbing and darkening
- See a dermatologist for persistent pigmentation
- Even lighting in photos
- Sleep consistently
- Use sunscreen around the eyes
- That one product fixes all dark circles
- Avoid harsh home bleaching products around the eyes.
