Why Dark Circles appear?

There are many reasons that why one can have the dark circles. Some of the reasons we are going to mention below, but we cannot guarantee that if you are having dark circles, these are because of any of the below mentioned reasons. This is just a help guide for you guys; still you need to consult your physician for everything.

1. Lack of Beauty Sleep

Like your body, your eyes also need rest. The main and the biggest reason of having dark circles under your eyes is you might not be taking a full sleep daily. Normally a person required 7 - 8 hours of sleep daily. When you do not sleep fully, your eyes get tired and with this routine, blood circulation gets effected and hence the blood vessels start appearing through the under-eyes skin. Therefore a full nap is highly recommended daily to keep you a beauty queen. Also, before going to your bed, please make sure you are not carrying any makeup over your eyes. Remove if there is any because it damages the skin when you wear makeup on your eyes over the whole night.

2. Inheritance

Remember that there are many other reasons for dark circles other than the lack of sleep. Yes, you won't believe that heredity is one of those reasons. Inherited in a sense like if you have a more transparent skin, your blood vessels can be seen through more prominently. Therefore in this case, there are less chances that you can 100% overcome your dark circles. Some people have the deep set eyes, it is there bone structure so it seems like they are also having dark circles. So these are the things which are inherited and cannot be undone.

3. Age Factor
