Dark circles even after 8 hours of sleep? Your under-eye skin might be telling a different story!
Dark circles under the eyes aren't always caused by lack of sleep. If you've been sleeping well but still notice dark under-eyes, there could be other reasons behind them.
3 common causes of dark circles:
1. Extra pigmentation: Increased melanin can make the under-eye area appear darker.
2. Thin skin & visible blood vessels: The delicate skin beneath your eyes can make underlying blood vessels more noticeable, creating a bluish or purplish appearance.
3. Natural hollows & shadows: Your facial anatomy can create shadows beneath the eyes, making the area look darker even without increased pigmentation.
Genetics, allergies, sun exposure, ageing and lifestyle factors can also contribute to under-eye darkness.
Here's what most people overlook: Not all dark circles have the same cause, so the same skincare product or treatment may not work for everyone.
Understanding WHY your under-eye area looks dark is the first step towards choosing the right approach.
