Common Causes of Dark Circles
As we know, dark spots under the eyes are causes of poor sleep, but this is only one aspect of the picture. Their appearance can be influenced by a variety of variables, and before diving into the solution to the dark circles, let’s have a look at the most important common causes:
- Genetics: Some individuals are predisposed to having darker circles due to their inherent skin tone or under-eye structure.
- Sun Damage: Excessive sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation, causing the skin under the eyes to darken.
- Allergies: Seasonal allergies or chronic conditions can trigger inflammation, leading to puffiness and discolouration around the eyes.
- Ageing: As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, making the blood vessels beneath the eyes more visible, and causing a bluish hue.
- Lifestyle Habits: Dehydration, smoking, stress, and excessive caffeine or alcohol consumption can all contribute to the formation of dark circles.
Addressing Common Misconceptions about Dark Circles
Here are some common myths regarding dark circles to gain a better understanding of their causes. By busting these myths, we can have a more in-depth understanding of what causes dark circles and how to treat them.
Myth 1: Only lack of sleep causes dark circles.
Reality: As mentioned earlier, various factors play a role.
Myth 2: Applying cold compresses is the ultimate solution.
Reality: While temporary relief is possible, it doesn't address the underlying cause.
Myth 3: Concealer is the only way to hide dark circles.
Reality- Concealer isn't your only weapon! Prioritise sleep, hydration, and stress management for a natural difference. Eye creams can help too. While concealer can still be your friend, use it minimally for the best results.
How do ingredients target dark spots?
Knowing which ingredients work against dark spots is important for treating them effectively and empowers you to choose products wisely, guaranteeing the inclusion of these key components in your skincare routine.
- Sodium Hyaluronate (a derivative of Hyaluronic Acid) hydrates and plumps the under-eye area, reducing puffiness and making dark circles less noticeable.
- Licorice combats inflammation by targeting puffiness and calming the sensitive skin around the eyes. It further addresses dark circles, by promoting a more uniform skin tone.
- Malic Acid is a gentle way to remove dead skin cells around the eyes. It promotes cell turnover, which makes the skin smoother and gives it a more even tone.
