It’s been ranked a top five skin concern by thousands of women, beating out cellulite, fine lines and wrinkles! There’s plenty of myths and treatments out there… and just as many ways to mask or hide them… but let’s shed some light on things.
Even though it’s often associated with stress, burnout and lack of sleep, Dermatologists it’s not always the main factor.
Some other common factors are:
- Aging - As part of the aging process, we naturally lose some of the fat around the eye which contributes to the area becoming sunken and darker.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation - Put simply, this is darkness left behind after inflammation. It’s made worse when you rub your eyes after they’re itchy from allergies or eczema.
- Lifestyle - Lots of sun exposure can breakdown collagen and elastin which leads to an increase in damaged blood vessels. The same is true of stress, sleep, alcohol, smoking or too much caffeine.
- Genetics - Your genetic background impacts how your skin type and tone shows age, and while anyone can develop dark circles, some ethnic backgrounds with olive-toned or darker skin tend to experience it more.
