There are a few questions that I am frequently asked and one of them is – what can I do about my dark undereye circles? I wish there was a magical cure for dark undereye circles, I have them myself, but there isn’t. Undereye circles are caused by a few different reasons and so there is more than one solution for the problem. Below I’ve listed the different reasons for dark undereye circles and possible solutions.
Dark Undereye Circles Caused by Hyperpigmentation
This hyperpigmentation, or darkening of the skin, is a genetic trait. The skin around and under the eye area is actually darker than the rest of your skin, and you were born this way. I can personally vouch for since my two year-old son inherited this genetic trait, and I noticed it pretty much immediately after he was born. The area becomes darker as you age. In order to double-check that this is the cause of your dark circles gently pull the skin away from the hollow under the eye, making the area flat and eliminating any shadows. If the darkness is still there the skin is pigmented - in other words the skin there is naturally a darker color. Since this is a genetic trait it isn’t so easy to get rid of. One solution is to invest in a good undereye concealer. I’ll recommend a few at the end of this post. If you want to try to permanently get rid of the dark color of your skin you can try laser treatments and chemical peels that target hyperpigmentation. Or you can get use a skin lightener in that area; this will take some time to work. You can get a prescription hyperpigmentation cream or go with a OTC one.
