No one can deny that eyes are the most beautiful facial feature. Hence, you can’t afford to be careless about them. And, one of the major problems related to eye care is Dark Circles Under Eyes.

What Causes Dark Circles Under Eyes? What Are The Reasons Behind Them?

Stress: Though there are many factors that cause dark circles, the most common reason is STRESS. Stress not only leads to medical health conditions but also affects our external appearances. Whenever a person is under stress, our glands release the Cortisol hormone. Cortisol increases the volume of blood in our bodies, which causes the blood vessels (including the ones below your eyes) to swell. And, this swelling caused by increased blood flow causes the blood vessels underneath our eyes to be more apparent, eventually leading to dark circles.

Excessive Phone Usage: Like many electronic devices, our phone also emits blue light that causes damage to the skin, particularly under our eyes. The blue light results in ageing as well as cause dark circles. Even, people working for long hours at laptops suffer from the same. In times, when many of us are completely dependent on our laptops and phones, we cannot altogether stop using them. But, what we can actually do is to reduce the time that we spend on these electronic devices. We can keep a check on our usage so that we don’t damage our eyes and the skin under them!

Allergies: Many people, who suffer from asthma and nose allergies, also face issues of dark circles. The nose allergies cause eye irritation and redness, which lead to dark circles. As per the various findings, the chemicals in the asthma medications may also lead to inflammation around the eyes, causing dark circles.

Lack of sleep: A proper sleep of 6-8 hours is very important for every human being. As per various studies, less sleep not only harms the eyes, but also affects the holistic health of our bodies and minds. The lack of sleep increases body heat, which upsets health. As per the sources, the primary sign for increased body heat is dark circles.

Melanocytes: Melanocytes are the specialized cells that produce melanin pigments responsible for skin, hair and eye pigmentation. They reside in the basal layer of the epidermis that is under the eye area. The inflammation of these melanocytes produces more melanin and causes dark circles. It even increases the thickness of the skin around the eyes.

Sensitive skin: As the eye area is very sensitive, the ultra-violet rays or the heavy sunlight can stimulate the tissues under the eyes leading to dark circles. Because of heavy sunlight, we tend to keep the eyes tightened, that can lead to early wrinkles. Under heavy sunlight, while all the facial parts are tanned, our eyes are irritated giving rise to dark circles.

Heredity: One of the possible causes for dark circles is hereditary or genes. Sometimes, our dark circles are caused by the inherited genes of our mother or father. These kinds of dark circles can be seen from our childhood. Sadly, there are less chances of getting rid of the hereditary dark circles.
