What Leads to Dark Circles Under Eyes?

Many women a typical beauty problem is having Puffy Eyes. These dark circles wreak havoc on the confidence of a woman due to the fact it makes her look constantly tired or sick or worse appear to be well, a raccoon. What and how come Dark Circles appear under the eyes?

The skin layer about the eye sticks out as the thinnest most delicate portion on the face and in fact on the body simply because the oil glands in this area are in limited supply. As a final result of that the veins become noticeable when this area dries out which in turn will give you the appearance of possessing raccoon eyes.

1. Heredity:
   If your parents have circles under eyes then there’s a good chance of you getting them too because the thinness of the eye area is a hereditary trait. Also if you’re prone to skin allergies then it could be the cause of those dark circles. Rubbing the eye area and inflammation of the skin around the eye makes it look dark.
2. Not Enough Sleep: Late night partying, lesser amounts of sleep, fatigue, stress, infected sinuses and pregnancy makes the skin pale. Veins are more prominent when skin is pale which make you have raccoon eyes.
3. Facial Bone Structure: If you have deep set eyes, it gives the appearance of dark shadows around the eyes giving the impression that you have bags under eyes.
4. Too Much Sun Exposure:
   If you are too exposed to the sunlight, the pigmentation of your skin increases causing the skin to tan. When this happens to the area under the eyes, the exposed skin darkens.
5. Medications:
   Some medicines cause the blood vessels to expand. In the area around the eyes, this appears as dark circles under eyes because of the thinness of the skin in this area.
6. Poor Nutrition: Discoloration under the eyes may also indicate poor nutrition. So check whatever it is that you’ve been eating and change your eating habits for the better.
7. Lifestyle: Smoking, too much alcohol and caffeine consumption also contributes to having dark circles under eyes.
