Heredity: Dark circles under the eyes can be an inherited trait. If you have dark circles, then it is likely that other members of your family have dark circles too. The skin under the eye is very thin. When blood flows through veins close to surface of the skin it can produce a bluish tint. If your skin is transparent then the darker the circles will be. Transparent skin is also a inherited trait.

Exposure to Sun: Exposure to sun especially during the summer months can make the skin under the eyes look darker. This is true for dark skinned people as well. Suntans are caused by an increase in the natural pigmentation of the skin, as a result of exposure to the sun. This increase in pigmentation is drawn to the surface. This applies to the skin under the eyes as well.

Allergies and Eczema: Any infection of the eye that leads to itching can contribute to dark circles as rubbing and scratching the eyes darkens the skin. People who suffer from hay fever will notice that dark circles appear when the allergy is at its height. Certain food allergies can cause dark circles too.

Medication: Any medication that dilates your blood vessels can cause dark circles under the eyes. As the skin under the eye is delicate an increase in blood shows through the skin in the form of dark circles.

Nutrition: An improper diet, an unbalanced diet or lack of a nutritious diet can cause dark circles under the eye.

Tiredness and Lack of Sleep: A lack of sleep or excessive tiredness can cause the skin under the eyes to become pale, thus, making the blood flowing under it visible.

Pregnancy and Menstruation: During pregnancy and menstruation the skin becomes pale and the veins under the skin become visible.

Age: As you grow older there are greater chances that you will have dark circles and they may become more prominent and permanent. If there are too many folds in the skin under the eyes, it will make the dark circles more prominent.

Prevent

The first and most obvious way to prevent dark circles from forming under your eyes is to get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours each night is what most of us require to keep those eyes bright and shining. Stress can also wreak havoc with our eyes, and while it is easier said than done, avoid stressful events as much as you can. At the very least, make sure that you have some high quality “me” time every week to relax and rejuvenate. Allergies are yet another culprit of those unsightly dark circles, so if you find yourself sneezing and itching, take an over the counter allergy relief product to keep your eyes looking their best. Dehydration can also take its toll on the eyes, so make sure you are getting your eight glasses of water every day, and go easy on your salt intake.
