Dark Circles

Dark circles are a universal cosmetic complaint that presents as shadowing or discolouration around the eyes. Though generally not a medical problem, dark circles can contribute to an older or stressed look, giving people a tired appearance.

Dark circles under the eyes may strike individuals of any age or complexion and are difficult to hide even with cosmetics. For many, a reliable solution becomes an immediate concern on their skincare journey.

What Do Dark Circles Cause?

There are several reasons why dark circles under the eyes appear. Some of the most prevalent ones include:

Genetics Dark circles run in some people's families. If your grandparents or parents had dark circles, there's a greater likelihood that you will as well.

Ageing With age, the skin around the eyes thins, and collagen production decreases. This transparency can cause the blood vessels to become more apparent, thus making the dark circles under the eyes more visible.
Lack of Sleep Fatigue or late nights often result in pale skin, making the darker tissues and veins under your eyes more noticeable.

Dehydration When your body does not have proper hydration, the skin under your eyes may appear puffy and sunken.

Allergies and Sinus Problems Allergies may induce inflammation and engorged blood vessels, making shadows or puffiness.

Habits Smoking, overconsumption of alcohol, and long exposure to the sun may all contribute to dark circles.

How Can We Treat Dark Circles?

Go for a serum that targets fine lines and wrinkles, especially one that boosts collagen and improves elasticity. This is key for firming up the under-eye area.
A hydrating eye cream can do wonders. It helps keep the delicate skin around your eyes moisturised and protected, which softens fine lines over time.
Introduce skincare heroes like retinol, hyaluronic acid, and peptides. These ingredients plump the skin, smooth out lines, and support long-term repair.
Stick with your routine. Using your anti-wrinkle serum and eye cream daily gives cumulative, lasting results. Slow and steady wins this race.
Sun exposure deepens fine lines fast. Use a broad-spectrum SPF around your eyes every day to keep wrinkles from setting in deeper.
