Suffering from dark circles under the eyes? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common concerns for all age groups and genders. The causes are diverse and/or complexed by multiple reasons.

Let’s take a look at the causes and treatments for dark circles under the eyes, so you can achieve a healthy-looking eye area!

1. Brown: When you stretch the skin under the eyes, the darkness moves with the skin.

2. Black: When you stretch the skin under the eyes, the colour lightens.

3. Blue: When you stretch the skin under the eyes, the darkness doesn't move.

4. Hereditary: This type of dark circle can be brown, black or blue, but the difference is that you might’ve noticed those dark circles even when you were a child. Most likely one or both of your parents also have it. These are more challenging to treat than non-hereditary dark circles. However, it can definitely be improved.

Let's look at each one in more detail:

How to Treat It:

• If the reason is the rubbing of the eye area due to allergies, hay fever, dermatitis etc, you’ll need to tackle those health concerns before anything else.
• Try not to rub the eye area (I know, it's easier said than done). Maybe apply a cooling towel to calm itchiness instead.
• Remove eye makeup using very gentle pressure.
• Protect the eye area from sun exposure.
