Dark circles under the eyes may be a beauty seeker’s most challenging facial concern. Appearing in hues of purple, greenish-black, blue, or dark brown, they lend the appearance of fatigue, poor health, and age, and can be difficult to eliminate. What is the cause of dark under-eye circles?
Dark under-eye circles occur due to pigment changes in the skin. According to Mayo Clinic, tiredness is a common suspect for causing “panda” eyes. Other common causes of dark and puffy eyes include allergies, contact dermatitis, hay fever, rubbing the eye, sun exposure, and natural aging.
