Cause of Dark
Circles
|
|
Our face
attracts the most amount of attention. Therefore, we pay most attention
to the way our face looks. We take special care of our face, its skin,
its appearance and we try to present our face in the most beautiful
manner we can. In a person's face, it is the eyes that catch the
attention of the observer. If the eyes are beautiful the beauty of the
face is enhanced. But a problem that a number of women face is dark
circles under the eyes. When a woman has dark circles under her eyes, |
|
|
no matter how beautiful her
eyes are their impact is diminished because of these dark circles. If we
understand the cause of dark circles then we may be able to deal with
them and treat them if possible. There are a number reasons
for dark circles under the eyes. Given below are some of the common
causes for the unsightly dark circles.
|
|
Heredity:
Dark circles under the eyes can be
an inherited trait. If you have dark circles, then it is likely that
other members of your family have dark circles too.
The skin under the
eye is very thin. When blood flows through veins close to surface of the
skin it can produce a bluish tint. If your skin is transparent then the
darker the circles will be. Transparent skin is also a inherited trait.

|
Exposure to Sun:
Exposure to sun especially
during the summer months can make the skin under the eyes look darker.
This is true for dark skinned people as well. Suntans are caused by an
increase in the natural pigmentation of the skin, as a result of
exposure to the sun. This increase in pigmentation is drawn to the
surface. This applies to the skin under the eyes as well. |
|
Allergies and Eczema:
Any infection of the eye
that leads to itching can contribute to dark circles as rubbing and
scratching the eyes darkens the skin. People who suffer from hay fever
will notice that dark circles appear when the allergy is at its height.
Certain food allergies can cause dark circles too. |
|
Medication:
Any medication that dilates your blood vessels can cause dark circles
under the eyes. As the skin under the eye is delicate an increase in
blood shows through the skin in the form of dark circles. |
|
Nutrition:
An improper diet, an unbalanced diet or
lack of a nutritious diet can cause dark circles under the eye |
|
Tiredness and
Lack of Sleep:
A lack of sleep or excessive
tiredness can cause the skin under the eyes to become pale, thus,
making the blood flowing under it visible. |
|
Pregnancy and
Menstruation:
During pregnancy and
menstruation the skin becomes pale and the veins under the skin become
visible. |
|
Age:
As you grow older there are greater chances that you will have dark
circles and they may become more prominent and permanent. If there are
too many folds in the skin under the eyes, it will make the dark
circles more prominent. |
