Remove Dark Circles Under the Eyes With These Home Remedies

Dark circles are a common non-hormonal, dermatological problem troubling many. Before learning about the ways to get rid of dark circles, one must learn about the root cause of dark circle. The region surrounding our eyes has a mesh work of delicate blood vessels or capillaries just underneath the soft, thin layer of skin. The capillaries are so fine that red blood cells at times get lost in to the surrounding skin due to wreckage or breakage in the capillary walls.

The accumulation of red blood cells escaping through leakages in capillaries result in dark circles that are blue-black or dark purplish in color. This escaping of RBCs or red blood cells takes place throughout the body, but dark circles are so evident and prominent only below the eyes, because the skin in that region is very thin and translucent, and the blood vessels are situated very close to the skin surface.

1. Heredity or genes

4. Any illness
5. Lack of sleep due to all night work or partying

Why Dark Circles

Test for Dark Circles

If the dark color below your eye disappears when you stretch the skin in that area, then you could be losing fat and need plumping. 

Visible blood vessels are the second type of dark circles and people with pale, translucent skin tend to get affected by dark circle problem. Fairer complexions tend to have thinner skin surrounding the eyes, which allows the blue vessels to peek through.
