What causes dark circles under eyes?

It should be said that almost everyone has dark circles under their eyes. For example, after staying up late for a long time, they may turn into panda eyes. However, some people have particularly severe dark circles under their eyes, which do not improve even after rest. In this case, we need to consider whether other factors are causing it. Maybe you don’t quite understand the causes of dark circles, so follow the editor to learn some new beauty knowledge.

1. Excessive fatigue or lack of sleep. It causes the eyelids to be tense and contracted for a long time, causing extensive congestion of the capillaries in the skin around the eyes. The subcutaneous tissue of the skin around the eyes is very loose, the capillaries are congested, blood circulation is poor, and the skin around the eyes is very thin, so the eye circles appear bluish-black. For this non-disease condition, as long as you pay attention to rest and have a good sleep, the dark circles under the eyes will disappear quickly. If you gently massage the skin around your eyes with your fingers, you can help the blood flow back into the capillaries inside and the darkening phenomenon will be reduced or disappear.

2. Penetration of cosmetic pigments. Frequent use of cosmetics, especially whitening cosmetics, will cause some heavy metal ions or dark pigment particles to penetrate into the eyelids, forming dark circles over time.

3. Eyelids become aging and loose. Skin wrinkles cause the skin color to darken, the appearance of bags under the eyes causes local visual shadows, and the depression on the lower side of the eye socket forms a tear trough shadow.

4. It may be that an organ in the body is diseased, the most likely being kidney disease. There is a kind of melanin in the cell tissue of the kidney. When the kidney function weakens, the melanin will be revealed, making the eye circles dark. In addition, endocrine or cardiovascular diseases can also cause blood circulation disorders in the body, causing long-term congestion of the capillaries in the skin around the eyes and resulting in melanin deposition.

All the factors involved in the article can cause dark circles. Some situations are easier to solve, while some reasons are more serious. Therefore, when the skin around the eyes is too dark, you must consult a doctor and have a physical examination in time, take good care of the eye skin on a regular basis, and change the bad habit of rubbing your eyes with your hands.
