Dark Circles
Why Do You Have Dark Circles?
Dark circles (infraorbital hypermelanosis) are common, especially in Indian skin, due to facial structure and melanin production.
Common Causes of Dark Circles
- Increased Melanin: Extra pigment can make the under-eye area appear darker.
- Dilated Blood Vessels: Visible veins under thin skin can cause a dark, shadowy look.
- Loss of Connective Tissue: Aging or genetics can lead to hollowness under the eyes.
- Allergies & Skin Conditions: Issues like atopic dermatitis can contribute.
- Certain Eye Medications: Some medicines may cause pigmentation.
- Excessive Screen Time: Straining your eyes can worsen dark circles.
- Poor Diet: Alcohol, high salt intake, and lack of nutrients can affect skin health.
How to Reduce Dark Circles
- Retinoids: Improve skin thickness, reduce fine lines, and even out skin tone.
- Chemical Peels: Remove dead skin cells and brighten the under-eye area.
- Eye Creams: Look for vitamin C, caffeine, and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and lighten.
- Laser Therapy: Targets pigmentation for a brighter under-eye look.
- Fillers: Add volume under the eyes to reduce shadows and hollowness.
Since different treatments work for different people, it’s best to consult a dermatologist to find the right solution for you.
