WHAT ARE THE CAUSES ?
AGE
As we age, a restructuration of the periorbital region sets in. Structures such as bone, muscle, fat, and ligaments sag, leading to a hollow area under the eyes that is commonly referred to as a "dark circle".
LIFESTYLE HABITS
Poor sleeping habits and alcohol or tobacco consumption can be partly responsible for the appearance of dark circles.
GENETICS
We are all born with different genes. The genetic background that our parents passed on to us may be responsible for the early appearance of dark circles in some people.
SKIN LAXITY
The gradual loss of collagen, elastin and other structural components of the skin is partly responsible for the appearance of dark circles.
