WHAT IS IT ?

Dark circles are the result of the significant loss of fat and collagen around the eyes, often related to age. They can be pigmented and associated with a fatty pocket protruding under the eye.

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.

PREVENTION

SKIN CARE

A good skin care routine for the periorbital area should include a moisturizer, a skin brightening agent, a collagen boosting agent and sun protection.

LIFESTYLE HABITS

Good sleep habits can help slow down the progression of dark circles in some people.
