Exposure to the sun. Exposure to sun, especially in summer, makes the skin under the eyes darker. That goes for people with darker complexion too.
Allergies. Any infection causing itching, red eyes, can contribute to the formation of dark circles around the eyes.
Drugs. All medications that widen blood vessels, lead to the creation of dark circles. That’s because the skin under the eyes is very thin and the stream of blood is visible through the skin, in the form of dark circles.
Diet. Strict and unbalanced diets and lack of vitamins and minerals, leads to the creation of dark circles around the eyes.
Stress or lack of good sleep. The lack of good sleep makes the skin look pale, so the thin blood vessels under the eyes are visible.
Pregnancy and menstruation. During pregnancy and during the cycle, the skin of the face is pale and blood vessels are visible.
