Medically known as Peri-orbital hypermelanosis, this condition requires a separate mention as it is an extremely common condition in people of Indian origin. Under eye darkness gives an impression of tiredness all the time.
Dark circle appearance can be a combination of different factors such as :
- Genetic.
- Due to stress or even eye strain.
- Irregular sleeping pattern
- Thinner skin on the lower eyelids, allowing pigment and vessels to be more visible.
- Gravity, which causes under eye skin to move downward, inviting more stretching and thinning. This allows the blood vessels and pigment to become more visible.
- Cumulative sun damage plays a significant role. Sun damage exacerbates these characteristics by increasing skin thinning and melanin content.
- Sunken eyes: tear troughs tend to exacerbate appearance of dark circles.
- Excessive eye-rubbing.
- General poor health.
