Whether due to insomnia, stress or genetics, dark circles under your eyes are a common skin concern. Regardless of your age, skin tone or type, no one is immune to dark shadows underneath the eyes. While we are all prone to dark discolorations in this area from time to time, some may feel that the occurrence of these shadows are permanent.
Dark circles are simply a matter of increased visibility of the blood vessels and venous blood they contain beneath the skin’s surface around the eyes. When these vessels are seen more clearly in one area in comparison to anywhere else on the body, the result is a darker shadowing.
