Understanding causes and recognizing what helps against dark circles

Dark circles and dark shadows can have various causes. They also manifest in different ways. In principle, two types of dark circles are distinguished. 

  • Translucent blood vessels
  • Hyperpigmentation

With translucent blood vessels, it is not the skin that is responsible for the dark circles, but the blood vessels underneath. The skin around the eyes is very thin and contains very few sebaceous glands. Additionally, the skin around the eyes has little fat. The dark shadows often arise from reduced lymph circulation during sleep. Tissue fluid accumulates, and the fine blood vessels are dilated and appear through the skin.

Causes can include intense UV radiation, frequent eye rubbing, few hours of sleep, dehydration, but also a one-sided diet or excessive alcohol or nicotine consumption. Some people tend to have a increased pigmentation of the skin around the eyes. This pigmentation appears as a dark brown to gray discoloration. Hyperpigmentation often occurs over the course of life and becomes more intense with age. Such dark shadows cannot simply be managed with sleep and water.

What to do against dark circles caused by translucent blood vessels?

If translucent blood vessels are responsible for the dark shadows under the eyes, you can do a lot to counteract this. Drinking enough, regular exercise, a healthy diet, and sufficient sleep may already make dark circles disappear.

If they are particularly persistent, you may want to see a doctor. A deficiency in vitamins should be ruled out. However, dark circles can usually be significantly reduced with regular eye care using top-quality products.

What to do about dark circles from hyperpigmentation?

The dark shadows from hyperpigmentation cannot simply be managed with sleep and water. Here, too, adequate eye care with the right ingredients is essential. Good eye care ensures that the thin eye area is supplied with moisture. High-quality ingredients can help reduce the signs of aging and pigmentation.
